hereafter the legal work OF the de-

The provision seems innocent
enough. But the pure food law had
provided, in section 4. that when the
bureau Of chemistry reported q food

report, the secretary shall" turn the

LEGAL ERROR A|OS|
Woman Horse Thief Sentenc-
ed for Buggy Theft Only.

Marion. Ind. June 1o-Mrs. Rose
Berry. accused of stealing horse and
buggy from a local livery, was con-
victed of grand larceny and sentenced
to from one to fourteen years in the
woman's prison. She expressed salts
faction that she escaped conviction
for horse stealing. with greater pen
atty, through an error OF the prose
cutor. who charged in the affidavit
that she stole horse and introduced
evidence showing the animal was a
gelding. Conviction was obtained on
the evidence showing the woman had
stolen the buggy.
Mrs. Berry's attorney moved that
the case be dismissed and cited the
1911 statutes covering horse stealing,
which provide that specific and not
generic terms must be used in describ.
ing stolen property He argued the
evidence was that gelding had been
stolen and that the generic term OF
horse stealing would not apply.
Judge Paulus instructed the jury
only as to the alleged theft OF bug.
gy and told the purors not to consid-
er the charge of horse stealing.
The court reprimanded George NJ
Coon. the prosecuting attorney, say
ing it was not just to the public that
a state case be improperly prepared.
Mrs. Berry showed no. sign of emo.
ton when the verdict was read. and
said she expected conviction. She is
forty-nine years old, and lived near
Goshen, Ind. She was arrested at
Columbia City, Ind, week after she
stole Squires' horse and sold it to
