P.S. G.. LOSES ITS
ONLY CRIMINAL CASE
M%isdemcanor Charge Against
j. j. Dempsey Of B. r. T.
Thrown Out of Court.
HAYWARD PLANS FIGHT

TIE only case in which the Public
Service Commission has tried to fasten
a misdemeanor charge on a corporation
which disregards the commissions or
ders vas thrown out of court by Magis-
trate Dodd in Brooklyn yesterday.
The Magistrate ruled that as John J.
Dempsey. b.. r. T. superintendent. had
not been served personally with an
order requiring the stopping OF Fifth
avenue elevated trains at the Third
street station he could not be prose-
cuted because the trains ran past the
station.
Commissioner William Hayward, who
made the complaint against Dempsey,
IL not satisfied with the Magistrate
decision. He said yesterday: This
Interpretation of the law would GER
tainly nullify every existing order OF
the commission and make impracticable
the operation OF any new order so far
As the criminal provision Of the statute
Is concerned"
Mr.. Hayward believes the other Com
m%issioners will back him VI in asking
District Attorney Cropsey to lay the
Dempsey case before the Kings county
Grand Jury. He is especially interested
In having the criminal clause In the
public service law thoroughly tested. for
as counsel to the Thompson commission
he raked the Commissioners for never
having tried to nave anybody found
guilty OF a misdemeanor.
In a formal statement Mr.. Hayward
said
with all due respect to the learned
Magistrate, II seems perfectly clear to
me what the law means. An order
might be directed to either a person or
a corporation. In this case II was di-
rected TO the corporation. The proceed
ing against Mr.. Dempsey was not for
the violation OF a order issued against
him, but under the language of the
statute for procuring. aiding and abet-
ting the corporation in its failure to
obey the order.
Under Magistrate Dodd's theory IL
would he necessary for the commission
in issuing an order TO any common car
rier formally to serve every officer or
agent connected with that corporation
from top To bottom. and when the cor
poration changed any OF It's officers or
agents TO serve every new man thai
came along and went to work for the
road
1T was commended by counsel for the
r. r. r. that the District Attorney did
not prove that Mr.. Dempsey had knowl-
edge Of the order. Mr.. Dempsey did not
deny knowing Of the order and declined
to take the witness stand. U~ncontra-
dicted testimony was offered that when
Mr.. Dempsey was asked prior TO the
fling OF the complaint whether he had
forgotten about the order he stated that
he had not forgotten about IL, but was
simply carrying out the policy of his
predecessor
