Scores Registration Board.

Judge Brann In giving his decision
said:
In this case the question involved
is whether the respondent wilfully,
falsely and knowingly made false
representation to the board of regis
tration to the end that his name should
remain on the voting list of ward two
instead of ward three. Graves is a
registered voter in ward two and it
does not appear from the testimony
that 1t made any particularly differ
ence to him whether he voted in ward
two or in ward three. 1t further ap-
pears that the board had in its pos
session evidence that Graves was on
the first day of April, 1913. residing at
16 Park street in ward three and
summons was thereupon issued by the
board. Graves it appears was inform
ed of the issuance of the summons and
presented himself voluntarily.
But two questions were asked
Graves. First. Where are you now
living" and the answer was. at 16
Park street The evidence as the
form of the next question Is not po-
sition but in substance is, Where
were you on the first day of April
last?' or Where were you living on
the first day of April last?'
u am strongly of the opinion that
if the board had asked further ques-
tions verifying the information which
1t had that no criminal prosecution
would have been thought necessary.
The board was remiss at this point. 1t
had what it considered reliable in
formation about the residence of
Graves, yet he was not asked to
either affirm or deny it by series of
questions.
I'm the Judgment of the court,
fairness to Graves demanded from
the board some further attempt to
gain information from him before a
criminal prosecution was instituted
The conduct of the board is in keep
ing with the conduct of a sharp law
ser whe asks a question on cross-ex-
animation and having obtained an
answer that he thinks harmful and
damaging leaves the witness there
without eplanation. This case fails
because the board did not question
him further that the intent might be
plainly establisher. 1t is apparent to
the court that Graves Is not a man of
the highest intellectual power. Graves
admits having a room at 16 Park
street from September, 1912, up to the
present time, but says for some time
prior and subsequent to the first OF
April, 1913, for an entire period COW
ering some three weeks. he was stay
ing ct 40 Granite street, either as a
nurse or as a companion to sick
friend so that he maintains that the
statement thta he made to the board
that he was in Ward on April /, was
correct. This statement is not denied
and he maintains that he answered
hte question asked him as he under
stood it's purport and meaning. The
evidence Of criminal intent must be
certain and the court is unable to find
that Graves made wilful, false and
criminal representation to the board.

made no mistake and I guess he got
all the rest had, too. He didn't say
anything about watches.
