Travis Allowed
To Scan Grand
Jury Minutes
Former State Comptroller,
Wendell and Judson Hope
to Show Evidence Insult.
ficient for Indictments
Ruling by Judge Mcintyre
Holds Some Testimony, as
Revealed by District At
torney, Improperly Given

Judge John F. Mcintyre in the Court
OF General Sessions yesterday granted
the motion made by Max D. Steuer for
the inspection of the grand Jury
minutes in the case against Eugene M.
Travis, former State Comptroller;
State Comptroller James A. Wendell
and Albert L. Judson, a bond broker.
The three were indicted by the
August grand jury for grand larceny
and false auditing OF state moneys in
the purchase of bonds through Judson
and through w. S. Fanshawe & Co. for
the state during the Travis regime.
Mr.. Steuer, attorney for Travis, act
ing for Stanchfeld & Levy. attorneys
for Wendell, and Walter r. Herrick,
counsel for Judson, made the applca-
ton on December 81 last At that time
he told the court that it was the in
tentlon of the attorneys to move for
dismissal of the indictments in the
event that the inspection of the
minutes be granted on the ground that
there was insufficient evidence before
the grand jury upon which legal in
dictment could be based
Judge Mcintyre in his decision re-
views the John Doe proceedings before
Justice kernochan, who presided as a
magistrate at the hearing In these
proceedings an inquiry was conducted
INTO the matters and things contained
IN the indictment. Assistant District
Attorney, Ferdinand pecor2 who pre-
sented the case to the grand jury, CON
coded that the testimony revealed in
the John Doe hearing and that pre-
scented to the grand jury was the same.
Ill
Judge McIntyre's decision in part
reads:
ut would seem to me that in that
/ proceeding the District Attorney did
not contend that the defendant, Wen
| inal transaction in any way other than
as a subordinate, and the defendant
Travis was the directing mind in all
the transactions involved in the indict-
ments, and the evidence in that pro-
ceeding did indicate that the defend
ant. Wendell, acted IS q subordinate
IN carrying out as q part Of his office
routine matter that had been previous
" determined upon by his superior.
ION the question Of the guilt or in
nocence Of the defendants, the decision
of Mr. Justice Kernochan is not con-
elusive upon this court but it does APP
pear that there was generation of
Wendell by Mr. Justice Kernochan. In
other words, he held that the evidence
taken before him was not such as
would lead him to the conclusion thai
Wendell had been guilty of the com
mission OF a criminal otfense. This
ruling, presented to this court. APP
pealed strongly to the court

La Guardia Criticizes Legislature
F. H. LaGuardia, president of the
Board of Aldermen, in commenting on
the new state enforcement law said :
at is unfortunate that the state had
to go ahead and pass this law before
the exact status of the statute relating
to the prescription sale of wine and
beer is definitely known. TIL. Legis
lature should have waited for the rul-
ing of the Attorney General on wine
and beer, because then enforcement
would have been easier. In com
munity of 100000 you cannot enforce
d law when the bulk of sentiment is
against it. Now that it is ON the
statute books the only thing to do is
to go ahead and try to enforce it."
1T may be true" said Commissioner
of Accounts David >Hirshfeld, chat to
enforce this law Will take the time OF
large part of the police force. If the
enforcement results in a big increase
IN burglaries and robberies and other
crimes the responsibility lies with Gov
ernor Miller. The only thing to do
under the circumstances is to go ahead
and enforce the law to the limit. The
people will understand on whom the
responsibility rests
