Court Quashes
Indictment of
Colonel Porter
Judge Rosalsky Rules Two
Policemen Who Failed to
Make Arrests Became
Accomplices in Case
May Resubmit Charges
Uncorroborated Testimony
of Officers Involved In
sufficient, Says Jurist

Judge Otto A. Rosalsky in General
Sessions yesterday dismissed the in
dictment against Colonel Augustus
Drum Porter, formerly Third Deputy
Police Commissioner 1t had been
charged in the Indictment that Porter
wilfully omitted to perform a public
duty enjoired upon him by law and
that be attempted to deter and prevent
police officers from performing duty
by making threats against them. AL
though dismissing the Indictment, the
court gives the District Attorney the
right to resubmit the case to the same
or another grand jury.
Colonel Porter was indicted by the
Vice Grand Jury, so-called, on March
10, 1920, on complaint Of Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James L. Smith. On
the morning of April 90, after brief
trial, the jury was discharged by the
late Judge James T. Malone, having
been unable to agree on a verdict after
more than twenty hours spent in the
jury room. A new trial was planned.
but there were numerous postpone
ments and yesterday the indictment
was dismissed.
Got Copy of Minutes
Following the jury's disagreement,
Porter was furnished with a copy Of
the minutes of the grand jury which
indicted him, and his attorney, Martin
W. Littleton, moved that the indict-
ment be dismissed. Felix C. Benyenga.
Assistant District Attorney, opposed
the motion, which was granted by Judge
Rosalsky.
At the trial of the exspolice official
Poilce Officers Hilbert Wheelwright
and Frederick j. Sorger testified that
'hey found Porter in All apartment
on November ~, 1919, in company
with a young woman. They said that
when they attempted to arrest the
woman for violation of the tenement
house law Porter made known his iden-
tity and instructed them not to make
the arrest. Mr.. Littleton said that the
testimony before the grand jury clear
~ established the fact that Wheel
wright and Sorger, by complying with
the demands of Porter, made them
seles accomplices. In his decision
Judge Rosalsky sustained this conten-
ton
"lt is essential to an orderly admin
istration Of justice" he said, "that no
discretion be vested in police officer
TO nout duty enjoined upon him by
law where there is proof that the
criminal law has been violated. A
pubic officer should be held to strict
performance of and responsibility for
the duties which the law enjons upon
him.
Testimony Uncorroborated
The two policemen" the cours Says,
We're not subjected to duress when they
yielded to the command of the defend
ant not to arrest the woman. If the
defendant had threatened the police
offlcers with instant death or grievous
bodily harm, unless they obeyed him
and they entertained reasonable appre-
hension for their lives or safety, then
and then only could their failure to
arrest the woman be legally excused"
:, Judge Rosalsky concluded that since
the only case against the defendant
was based on the uncorroborated testi-
mony of two accomplices the grand
Jury was not justified in presenting
Colonel Porter for trial. 10

Boxer lay curled up in q. corner of
the bedroom under the great windfall,
and there he ,sulked and sulked and
ssulked and tried to make himself be-
lleve he was the worst treated little
Bear in all the Great World But
ssulking all alone isn't any fun at all.
NO one can truly enjoy being sulky
with no one to see it. SO, in spite of
himself, Boxer was soon wondering
what his twin sister, Woof- w oof, and
Mother Bear were doing. He had
seen them start off toward the Laugh
ing Brook, and though he wouldn't
own up to it, even to himself, he
wished that he was with them. He
dearly loved to play along the Laugh
ing Brook.
When he could stand it no longer,
Boxer stole out to the entrance and
poked his head out from under the
great windfall. There he stood for
the longest time looking, listening,
smelling. Everything looked just as
usual. lhere were no strange sounds
The Merry Little Breezes brought him
no new smells. There were no signs
OF Mother Bear and Woof- -Woof. He
didn't know whether they had gone up
the Laughing Brook or down the
DAoNh' AAS tilCQ W pIetcHQ
that he didn't care where they were
or what they were doing.
But he didn't succeed. You know
IT isn't often you can really and truly
fool yourself. You may fool other
people, but not yourself. So, after
while. Boxer gave up trying to pre-
tend he didn't care. And then sulki-
ness gave way to temper, bad temper.
1--l-lll go way, way off in the
Great World and never come back.
Then | guess Mother Bear and Woof-
Woof will be sorry and wish they had
been good to me" ".muttered Boxer.
He stood up. for an instant to look
and listen. Then that silly little Bear
scampered off as fast as he could 90
without paying any attention at all
to his direction. His one thought
was to get as far as possible from
the great windfall before Mother Bear
should return. He would show Mother
Bear that he was too big to be
spanked and sent to bed. He would
show Woof-Woof that he could take
care Of himself and didn't need to tag
a2ong after Mother Bear.
so Boxer ran anIran until his lit
