tivelyA Justice Jeffries issued the war
wants Thursday noon on the complaint
81 William J. Chittenden, Jr. one OF
the managers.
The cases will be In the nature or
a TEST. Justice Jeffries was doubtful
whether the circumstances were such
as TO come within the statute under
which the prosecution Is brought, as
the defendants have paid between $500
and $400 TO the hotel management
since their arrival there. the sums
mentioned In the warrants represent
Ing the amounts now due from each,
for which demand was made Saturday.
The question arises whether. In view
of the former payments, the hotel
company did not extend credit to It's
guests, In which case there was no
violation OF the law. This Is the Ques-
ton that Is to be threshed out and IT
was for this purpose, largely, that
Justice Jeffries consented to Issue the
warrants. A similar case presented
itself some weeks ago. and In that In
stance the defendant was discharged.
There Is more likelihood Of an appeal
In the present instance. Both Flock
art and Moody were still at the hotel
Thursday morning. though they had
been ordered to leave by the manage
ment. Mr.. Chittenden says.
Mr.. Chittenden admitted that one OF
the men had offered to settle II given
