Justice Gould in Criminal Court No. l.
occupied almost the entire session of the
court today. The jury was excused a
little before noon until tomorrow morn
ing.
Mr.. Davis also asked the court IL the
counts should not be stricken out To
require the United States attorney TO
elect which of three charges should be
submitted to the jury. He claimed that
the indictments charged embezzlement.
abstraction and Misrepresentation OF
funds. Mr.. Davis declared that the jury
could not find Hayes guilty of all three
of these things and the government
should therefore be compelled to select
one of the three charges for submission.
Justice Gould declined 10 order an cleo
ton by the government. remarking that
ii was the province of the jury TO decide
whether the acts testified to by the wit
nesses constituted misrepresentation, abb
straction or embeZzlement.

ing certain counts continued.

ers of the American National Bank. who

Mr.. Shea's account. and that he would
put il through the next day. and he re-
uuested that no checks be turned down IL
the balance did not appear sufficient to
meet them.
On cross-eXamination Mr.. McCeney al.
mitted that ii was not unusual for Hayes
to tell him and other bookkeepers, ex-
hibiting a deposit at the time, that he in
tended to put deposit through the next

.LO Law NOT APPLICABLE
RULING BY JUDGE KIMBALL IN
VAGRANCY CASES.
Repeated Drunkenness" Held to Be
a Separate 0ffense From Pro-
visions Of Act Of March 3.

An important decision was made In
the drawing up of informations under
the new vagrancy law late this afternoon
by Judge Kimball Of the Police Court In
his ruling that persons cannot be proper
ly charged with repeated drunkenness
along with provisions contained in the
act OF March 3. 1900. This charge, ac-
cording to the court, is chargeable under
the old law and in sense Is q separate
and distinct offense.
The ruling was the result of motion to
dismiss eight defendants by Attorneys
Thomas L. Jones and Edward Mitchell
who were charged with vagrancy under
the new law. and additionally with being
found repeatedly drunk. AS drawn in
the papers, the offense or offenses were
amenable under the March 3 act instead
of being separated. Argument was made
at some length by the two attorneys for
the defense and Assistant Corporation
Counsel James L. Pugh. The contention
charge was properly drawn In that the
act of March ! was but part Of the
former act. and was intended to be ap-
piled Jointly with it. The court ruled in
favor of the defense and discharged the
defendants.

ton which was found defective were

When questioned what effect the ruling
of the court would have On the future
presentation of cases under the new va
grancy law by the prosecuting officers,
Mr.. Pugh said:
why, none at all. except that in
charging Migrants in the future we shall
consider the charge of repeated drunken
ness as a separate and distinct one. and
the informations will be filed under the
law as 1t passed and went into effect in
1888. In all other offenses. generally
speaking. which go to make up the
charge of vagrancy prisoners will be for
AS the Police Court officials term 1t.
the police of the different precincts are
running the new vag law to the limit"
and in consequence every person whom
they have been unable to properly
charge under the provisions Of the old
law have been hailed into the Police
Court. The vagrancy cases are increas-
ing in number daily. and since the act Of
March went into effect there have
never been less than seven or eight
cases before the court daily. Today no
less than nineteen cases were filed, in
which there were eleven convictions,
with workhouse sentences ranging from
