CIRCUIT BAILED;::
CONVICTION VOID
Doubt Certificate Granted
Bond, $1,000, Pend
ing Appeal.
INDICTED BY COURT,
SCUDDER'S RULING
Report Used at Trial Not One
Presented to Grand Jury,
Decision Holds.

Former Controller Edward NJ Crout,
sentenced to one year in Sing Sing for
signing false reports Of the assets Of
the Union Bank, OF which he was presi-
dent, obtained a certificate of reason
able doubt yesterday from Justice
Scudder, in the Supreme Court, Brook
Ign.
Justice Scudder, who was charged
with being biased in the case by Dis
trict Attorney Cropsey, declared Grout
was indicted on one affidavit and con.
victed on another. The change, no
said, was made by the trial judge.
Harry E. Lewis. Of the County Court
and since the conviction was obtained
unconstitutionally was void.
The certificate admitted Grout to
$4,000 bail, pending the decision of the
Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court on the defendants application
for a new trial. Grout was at once re-
leased from the Raymond Street Jail
where he has been since his convic-
ton, July "a.
Among the 1000 objections filed By
CIRCUITS counsel, Stephen c. Baldwin,
was one against the ruling Of Judge
Lewis which sustained the introduce
ton Of a report entitled, Quarterly
Report of the Union Bank at the close
Of business, March %, 1910, etc.
which was published in the newspapers
and not sworn TO by Grout. The re-
port named in the indictment was de-
scribed as Report on the condition Of
the Union Bank at the close of bust.
ness March %, 1910, etc." to which
Grouts signature was attached.
Justice Scudder held that under the
pretext of amending the description Of
crime charged in one indictment, q
new crime had been substituted. .a.
There is no power in a trial judge
to indict," wrote Justice Scudder. "Yet
that is what happened here. The de.
PENDANT was indicted for perjury In
swearing to the affidavit attached to
the report of the condition of the Union
Bank and was tried and convicted OF
perjury without an indictment by the
grand jury, in swearing TO the affidavit
attached TO the quarterly report of the
Union Bank, a different paper.

HE WAS ROMEO
TO WRONG JULIET
Balcony Scene Antics of
Ex Army Man Reused
Neighbors, Spouse Says.
SHE MARRIED HIM
AFTER NURSING WIFE
Serenades to Stenographer and
Night Taxi Rides Pictured in
Anonymous Letters.

Peculiarly woven the matrimonial
net froi which Benjamin S. Viewer,
formerly lieutenant in the United
States Army, from which he was dis
missed, is trying to ,xtrc; himself.
Viewer, who is a brother of the late
John ". Viewer, who was member Of
Congress and president of the Mer-
chnts' ,'ltional b. < of Plattsburg, n.
Y, is suing in the Supreme Court for
an annulment of his marriage to Mrs.
Lita Picabia Viewer, whom he took as
his third wife after the death of his
second. whom the present Mrs. Viewer
nursed
His contention is that the divorce
which he obtained from his first wife
in South Dakota was not valid in New
York. As to the birth of son by the
second marriage, Viewer explains that
he married his second wife in South
Dakota, where his divorce decree was
legal. but that the same condition does
not apply to the third marriage.
Mrs. Viewer, who was student in St.
Lukc's Hospital in 1898, first nursed
Mrs. Margaret Wyant Viewer, the sec
ond wife of the former army officer, in
that institution. A friendship sprang
up between nurse and patient that
later developed into love affair.
Mrs. Viewer has filed counter suit
asking for separation, alleging cruel
and inhuman treatment which consists
chiefly of his "Open attentions" to Miss
Gertrude l.. Harrington, employed as
file clerk by the Board of Water Sup
ply, where Viewer was an assistant en-
gineer He now occupies a similar po-
sition with the Department Of Finance.
He lives with his son at 936 st. Marks
Place, Brooklyn. His wife is living at
557 West l75th Street.
Mrs. Viewer says that her husband
admitted that the filtration with Miss
harrington began in the Office of the
Board of Water Supply. Miss Earring
ton also admitted it, the wife alleges,
and expressed remorse. Not so Viewer;
he became cold toward his wife after
his friendship with Miss harrington
had existed while. In fact, these re-
lations, Mrs Viewer says, progressed
so far that her husband induced Miss
