JUDGE CLEARS OSBORNE.
COURT DIRECTS VERDICT OF
ACQUITTAL FOR WARDEN.
Former Prison officials Course Before
Diedling Described as Standing by
Pledges to Prisoners.


White Plains. N. S., March 15.---
Thomas Mott Osborne. prison reform
er. Harvard graduate. twice mayor o.
Auburn, N. Y, and former warden OF
Sing Sing, was acquitted on the charge
of perjury by direction of Justice
Tompkins to jury in the supreme
court here today.
Justice Tompkins. in long opinion
held that DR.. Rudolf Diedling, q
State prison commissioner, was with
out authority under the State prison
law when he investigated, singlehand-
cd. Osborne's administration Of Sing
Sing. 1t was before DR.. DiedIing that
Osborne last October committed the
alleged perjury by swearing. as charg-
|od, that he was without knowledge of
certain cases of immortality.
Justice Tompkins held there was no
perjury committed by Osborne mas
much as the warden had the righ,
to keep inviolate the pledges given
convicts who had confessed their i'm
morality to him.
To make out the crime Of perjury,
the court held. it mus appear that
false testimony was knowingly and
wilfully given by Osborne under oath.
THE jury would not be justified IN
finding a wilful intent or purpose on
the part of the defendant" he said.
His refusal to answer and his evasivo
replies were to keep good the promise
he had made to the men when they
confessed to him their offenses and
received their punishment under pris-
on management. namely. that they
would not be subject to further pun
ishment therefor and that he would
so to- Jail rather than betray the,.
confidence" 3y
Justice Tompkins held further that
there can be no perjury unless tho
proceeding in which the testimony is
given is authorized by law. There ia
no proof here that DIR. Diediing was
authorized by law to conduct this In
vestisation or administer an OATH"
When Justice Tompkins had rem:
dered his opinion and discharged tho
jury. George Gordon Battle. os-
borne's chief counsel. moved that the
jury be kept in It's seats and that the
trial be begun Immediately. on an
other indictment pending against
Osborne charging neglect of duty and
immortality. District Attorney Weeks
said he was not prepared to proceed
with the trial, and the court held tliis
dispute was not a question for him to
decide and dismissed the jury.
