Court of Appeals Hands Down
Opinion in the Gambrill Case.

The Court of Appeals, in an opinion
by Judge Briscoe, has affirmed the ac-
ton OF the Criminal Court of Baltimore
City in granting demurrer to an indict-
ment against George T. Gambrill
charged with duplicating ware house
receipts of the Roxbury Distilling Com
pany, of which he was an officer. The
action of the court is based upon the
Interpretation of Chapters $50 and 400
of the Acts of 1910, which repealed sec
ton 1874 of Article 27 of the Code 8,
Public General Laws:
The question involved in the first point
at issue is whether or not chapter 400
of the Acts of 1910, repealed section
I4o of Article 27 of the code 1t is con-
ceded that the sections are identical ex-
cept for some unimportart changes
The act OF 1910 containing the sections
relating TO the Gambrtll case was known
as the uniform Bills of Lading Act
and was entitled "An Act to repeal the
act entitled bills of lading storage and
elevator receipts" 1t was contended by
the State that it was the intention of the
act to have the original law to apply to
pending cases, but this, the Court Of
Appeals says would keep in force
two different penalties for the same Of
fense. Under these circumstances the
rnle Of Interpretation that where two re-
pugnant provisions prevail the former
IS repealed by the latter, prevails.
The court holds that is manifest in
consistency between the acts, and that
they cannot be executed together, and
that section 10 of Article 27 has been
repealed.
The court does not think it necessary
to discuss the question as to the want Of
substance of the court Of the indictment.
inasmuch as it has been held that the
act under which it is brought is invalid,

ARDMORE WON
OVER PH|LAOELPH|
WADE PUlLlAM WAS AWARDED
DECISION ON A FOUL IN
FOURTH ROUND.

The largest crowd that has ever
been assembled in the Ardmore Ath-
letic club room was present last night
and witnessed one of the best bouts
that has ever been staged by that
club.
In the wind-up Wade Pulliam, Of
this city, was given the decision over
Kid Zugg of Philadelphia in the fourth
round on foul. This scrap was to
have gone six rounds but on account
of the foul went only four. In the
opening round both boys came to the
center of the ring, full of confidence
and there was some fast work done in
this round. In the second round Zugg
landed some telling jolts to Pulliam's s
Jaw and had the Ardmore boy guess
ing. but Pulliam came back strong
and finished this round with a slight
advantage. In the third round both
boys seemed to realize that he was
up against it and were cautious, fire.
quently going to clinches. The fourth
round opened with the lads sparring
back and forth, and both were doing
some pretty shifting, side-stepping,
etc, when they went to a clinch and
as the referee broke them apart, Zugg
landed a stinging right to Pulliam' S
jaw, it being a foul to hit in the
clinches, the referee disqualified Zugg,
declaring Pulliam the winner. Pulliam
is an Ardmore boy and naturally the
crowd was with him and was more
than satisfied with the outcome.
In the semi-windup Will Ware
proved beyond doubt to those pres
ent that he "was there" This set-to
was scheduled to go eight rounds and
no doubt would have gone the limit,
had not his opponent, one Sammy
Reece of Sapulpa, accidentally in the
second round, bumped into one OF
Wills right jabs, that made him see a
reguar series of stars, needless to say
he couldn't come back" The crowd
was with Will and showed their ap
probation of his fine showing by pitch
ing a few dimes into the ring wher
Will come back to make one of his
famous poses.
The preliminaries were all up to tht
standard and while they cannot be ex
pected to be as good as the mail
events, they furnished much amuse
ment.
The management is well pleased
with the encouragement received las
night and says that it is his desire tt
stage more bouts in the near future
that will equal, if not surpass, the on'
last night.
The game seems to be growing mor'
popular in Ardmore every week a
was evidenced by the unusually larg'
crowd present last night.
