JUSTICE FURMAN
'HARMtLESS ERROR"
SUSTAlNS VERDICT OF DISTRICT
COURT IN CASE OF C. e. CARTER
CONVICTED OF EMBEZZLEMENT

Oklahoma City, Oct, 1.-THE doct-
rine Of harmless error" as laid down
by Presiding Judge Henry NJ. Furman
of the criminal court of appeals, is
given a still further extension by that
court in an o. inion handed down Sat
urday, affirming the conviction OF {.
f. Carter for embezzlement in The
district court of Carter county.
Judge Furman holds that where
there was close question as to the
guilt of the defendant errors of n
minor character occurrinE in the trial
might be considered by the court, but
that where the evidence in Il case
is clear as to the guilt of appellant,
and there is no reason to believe that
upon a second trial an intelligent ana
honest jury could arrive at any other
verdict than that of the guilt of the
accused. the verdict of the lower court
will not be set aside for anything less
than fundamental errors. Dusty legal
cohwebs should never be permitted TO
obscure the truth or interfere with the
enforcement of Justice
Carter was a booliiecper for the
Tyler &. Simpson company, wholesale
grocers, of Gainesville, Texas, with a
branch house at Ardmore, but was
finally discovered to have been rob
hing the company Systematically
through a series of years. The exact
transactions were difficult to prove,
as the books of the company were
stolen before the prosecution was in
stituted. The conviction was secured
on charge alleging the embezzle
ment of $40
While complimenting very highly
Judge Russel's instructions in the
case, which are made a part Of the
: oyinion. Judge Furman suggests that
! he might have gone even farther. and
| that "the jury might have been in
structed that if they found from The
testimony beyond a reasonable doub'
! that the other similar oifense testifier
/ to had been committed and that the!
constituted parts of a dlan or system
of the defendant of embez2lement, tC
the very act of taking at issue, ther
the jury might consider the testi
mony as. to these similar offenses TO
the purpose of assisting them n de
termining as TO whether the defend
ant did take the money which he was
charged in the indictment with hav
/ ing taken, and also to show the in
tent with which the act was com
mittcd."
