John v. HENRY GRANTED
ORDER FOR NEW TRIAL

John William Henry, former head Of
the banking firm of Lewis johnson &
Co., is to have new trial on two
charges of embezzling stock certifi-
Gates belonging to two customers Of
the banking firm. The District Court
of Appeals today in an opinion by
Justice Van Orsdel reversed the con-
viction. Chief Justice Smyth rem
dered dissenting opinion.
Sentenced to Serve Eight Years.
Henry was sentenced to serve eight
years in the penitentiary, and on q
former appeal the conviction was sils-
tanned, but the court held the crime
to be misdemeanor only and direct
ed a resentence not to exceed one
year at Occoquan. Counsel for Henry
asked q rehearing, which was granted,
with the result that a new trial must
now be had.
Ah1rms Former Decree.
The appellate court today affirms it's
o felony, but goes step farther in
Henry's behalf and declares that only
one conviction and sentence should
have been recorded. Henry was con-
victed on two counts for embezzlinx
stock of two different owners and was
given four years on each count. The
appellate court says this was error.
as the overwhelming weight of au.
thority sustains the view that stealing
or converting property belonging to
different persons at the same fime
and place constitutes only q single
of1ense and should be so prosecuted.

the earth is a better transmitter Of
telegraphic signals than air, being un-
affected by tropical storms or at
mospheric shocks.
