Furnished by the Defence.

The defence for George Graham Rice ara
his associates in the lirm of L. II. Schcf'
tells & CO.. who arc on trial in the United
States Circuit Court for having used the
mails Tor fraudulent purposes had an un-
pleasant afternoon OF it yesterday, whcf
counsel FOR the accused found suddenly has
elaborate scheme Of defence turned into q
chain of evidence against his clients by
very simple explanation furnished by thf
prosecution.
Among the kilograms read the day be
fore TO the jury there was enc from the
Detroit office registering the violent kicks
of Western customer whose stock had
rot been delivered, despite cash payment
The defence found that on August -, the
day the Detroit purchase Of five shares OF
Mohawk Mining stock was made, ar order
to buy these shares was wired TO New
York ard that the office here ordered the
same day the purchase of Eve Mohawk
! shares in Boston.
Louis J. Vorhaus. OF counsel proceeded
to prove on the strength OF these tele-
grams mat e. H. Scheftels & co. imme-
diately executed cash orders, and Cold
thwaite II. Dorr and Abel l. smith As
sistent United States Attorneys. permitted
him TO so ahead.
After Mr.. Vorhaus bad built up me

clients, it was found that the books dld
not fully bear out his contentious ana
when Judge Ray asked for further eN-
| plantations Mr. Vorhaus could not furnish
them because he could not produce Inc
order slips Mr. Smith then offered TO
unravel the miX-up. and with few WORDS
he turned all that had been said IN favor
OF the defendants against them.
Mr. Smith showed from the books that
the purchase Of five Mohawk shares on
August - was merely a coincidence. ana
that tho Detroit telegram to the New YORK
Office placing tho order Tor five Mohawk
reached the Office after the telegram TO
Boston ordering the shares had been sent
by comparing various entries MI Smiih
demonstrated 20 the jury that the hFe
shares bought on that day were Intended
for a customer in Chicago who had bought
them almost two months before, and was
impatient and threatening over the non
delivery. The Detroit customer did not
get his shares Til September 10, MIR. Smith
showed and then only because he grew
exasperated and threatened to bring the
matter 20 the attention of the District At

SAYS C0RR|GAN ERRED
No Right to Issue Revolver Per-
nit, Watson Declares.
LIGHT ON SULLIVAN LAW
Supreme Court Decides 1t Is
Legal 10 Keep Firearms
in Ones Home.

The issuance OF permits 10 carry pistols
by police magistrates under tho provisions
OF the sullivan law r. not legal In this
city. according to Corporation Counsel
Watson. who holds that tho law does not
supersede the local law. which provides
that such permits shall be issued only by
the Police Commissioner. He also main
tans that the local ordinance liking 50 20
as the fee for such a permit holds good
ami that the $40 fee prescribed by the
Sullivan law cannot be collected here.
The opinion or the Corporation Counsel
was given at the request Of Mayor Gay
no' who raised the question as to whether
the local law did not rule, as the Sullivan
Law conhicted with II. The Mayor became
interested I'm the proposition when he
learned that Magistrate Corrigan had is-
sued n permit to Charles Boston, a we'll
known Chlnaman. who the Mayor de-
claied was not entitled 10 such a privilege.
Mayor Gsynor has had a quarrel with
Magistrate Corrigau ever since the latter's
statement that the town was oyerrun with
vice, the police dcmoralized and that gov
crnnent by epistle" had failed
The general rule is" declared the Cor
porston Counsel, that statute which is
applicable to a particular locality is not
repealed by implication by later statute
IN general terms unless tho intention Of
the Legislature TO repeal or alter tho local
law is manifest"
Mr.. Watson pointed ont that the Sullivan
law provided that pistol permits shall be
issued by police magistrates or justices Of
the peace or in such manner as may be
prescribed by ordinance"
In view of the city charter and the ordi-
nance on the subject. he holds that in 10
event may such permits be issued I'm the
city Of New York by other than the Police
Commissioner. The city magistrates arc
without jurisdiction"
