SW|NDLER QUALEY
TO STAY IN PRISON
Man Who Had Fake" Plaster
Plant in Newark Fails
in Appeal.

NEW YORK. Feb. 19-The Court
of Appeals has affirmed the conviction
of John A. Qualey, the promoter who
induced the late Mrs. Mary Nevins
Bull, widow of Dr. w. T. Bull, the
noted surgeon, to invest 900 of the
y .nds of her husbands estate in
worthless stock of the Magnesia- AS
bestos Company Qualey whose part
ner, Harvey Wiley Corbett, turned
States evidence against him, was SEN
ztenced to from five to eight years and
eight months by Justice Golf in the
] Criminal Branch of the Supreme
Court
Qualey sought to have the convic-
ZION set aside because he had been
denied the right of an accused person
Ito be confronted with the witnesses
against him. In Qualey's trial the evil
dence Of Mrs. Bull, the complaining
+ Witness, who died before the trial took
/. place, consisted of the stenographic
export of her testimony given before
the committing magistrate when Qua
ley was held for trial for grand lar
ceny. On this occasion there was full
opportunity for the defendants attor-
ney to cross examine Mrs. Bull.
81 The Court of Appeals decided that
the stenographic report of Mrs. Bulls
Testimony fulfilled all the legal re-
zquirements. New York: the court
said, is one of eight States in the
Union In which the right of an ac-
eused person to be confronted by the
witnesses against him is not guaran-
iced by the constitution. In New York
1T IS merely statutory enactment.
In her will Mrs. Bull asked that the
'8man who defrauded her of her hus-
bands property be prosecuted and
2punished.
M Qualey & Corbett are well known
In Newark as one of the subsidiary
plants to the Magnesia-Asbes Com
pany; the Ston-Age Plaster Company
was located at the foot of Grafton
avenue, this city. At the trial of Qua
s ley in New York for swindling Mrs.
bull it was testified by Gus Jansen,
superintendent of the Ston-Age plant,
that although lot of expensive ma
4 chinery was installed there, it was
#never used.
= Jansen also testified that when Qua
ley and Corbett would have a pros
H.pective investor in tow they would
Telephone him (Jansen and the latter
would put number of temporary
workmen at work carting lime from
& one pile to another or else in pound
II ing on large sheets of iron to make a
noise and give the plant a busy ap-
pearance.
