Witnesses Can't Be
Held i'm Criminal
Cases, Court Rules
Section of State Code Found
Unconstitutional by JUS
ticc Benedict in Granting
Writ Of Habeas Corpus

Justice Benedict. in the Supreme
Court in Brooklyn, held yesterday thas
Section 6lS of the code of criminal
procedure, under which material wit
nesses are detained, is unconstitu-
tional. The decision was made when
the court sustained a writ of habeas
corpus sworn out by Robert Elder. an
attorney, and released David and Mrs.
Mary Maloney and Sadie Reynolds,
in $4,000 bail in the case of Harry
Reynolds. Reynolds is charged with
the murder of Garry Barry, alleged
leader of the old "Whitc Hand Gang
WHO was shot recently in a drunken
brawl.
In releasing the three witnesses,
who, in default of bail, had been dc
tanned in prison, the justice said:
"Thc present statute permits sure
ties to be required merely on the
proof that the person is necessary
and material witness, without even
hint or suspicion that he may leave the
state or otherwise cvade the process
of the court. This, as | understand the
relators argument, is the grounds on
which they claim that the statute is
unconstitutional, because, without any
wrong on their part, either committed
or reasonably to be apprehended, they
are required to give security, and, be-
ing unable to do SO by reasons of pov-
erty, are committed to Jail. No author
ity has been presented, either in this
state or elsewhere, which holds that
such a statute is constitutional, and
shall therefore hold that it is un-
warrantabie interference with The
liberty of the individual, and hence
unconstitutional"
District Attorney elect Joab H. Ban
ton, when asked to comment on this
ruling yesterday, said that if it was
sustained and Section 6iS declared
unconstitutional, New York County,
with its great number Of transients,
would be affected very seriously.
ait would be great blow to the
prosecution of criminal cases." he
said, "if we could not detain transient
witnesses. Many cases dependent on
such witnesses would be lost

Lien on Papers for Bill
Notifies Bar Committee

Justice Mulian Of the Supreme Court
yesterday wrote memorandum in an
actioa brought by an attorney to en-.
torce lien on papers withheld BIZ the
attorney from a wonla~ c'i>,.. Justice
Mullan wrote the titln OF tns case in
blank, IL 50 far as il concerned the
names of the lawyer and the client, at
the same time saying that the court
had sent copy Of the memorandum
to the grievance committee of the Bar
Association and to the District At
torney. The justice also refused to
allow the lien, holding that the at
torney should be disbarrcd, if not also
prosecuted for blackmail, for threats
he made to expose his client.
Constituting part of the memoran-
dun of Justice Mullan is copy of
letter the attorney sen, the woman
client from whom he sought to collect
his bill for professional services.
Threatens to Bare Tax Evasion
This letter said: II shall regret
very much indeed if this matter be-
comes public, or if | am forced to take
any proceedings to establish my claim,
for by so doing would be forced to
do that which I would very much dis
like to do. and that is to reveal, in
stating the services ! rendered, the
contents Of my letter to you of March
I, in reference TO your failure to pay
income tax for years past, IN which
letter inclosed the typewriter blank
suggestions TO hep you file return
by March 15 and all consultations
with reference to your violation Of the
Federal law in not filing your income
tax returns
Justice Mullan wrote IN his memo
randum: II have searched in vain
through the great length OF the letter,
evidently prepared with the most
rneticufous care, in which the quoted
excerpt appears. for something. any
thing, that would take from that ex-
cerpt the threatening character 1T
seems SO clearly to bear upon its face
1t remains unexplained and unexcused:
l could not quite sec how there could
justify what appears so plainly to be
threat TO expose a client TO disgrace
and subject her to the danger Of prose
cution.
Suggests Dstarmcnt
"But as failure to justify such Ian
guage must Immediately suggest that
the writer of it should be disbarred, if
not also prosecuted for backmail,
gave the attorneys counsel in this
proceeding the fullest opportunity to
mitigate the o:fense.'
Only once before within the last fif-
teen years or more has a judge with
held from his decision the names of the
persons concerned in litigation. That
gas several years ago when Robert /.
Fowler, then a Surrogate Of New York
County, wrote an opinion OH con-
troyersy over an estate wherein the
interests of an iIlegitimate child were
concerned. Surrogate Fowler refused
to reveal The name OF the child, and his
action received general commendation.

Secretary of Sal.Aagundi Club So Annoyed by I'm
invited Guest at Party That He Asks Court to
Penalizc Intruder; Case Is Set for Wednesday

Leo Miclziner, portrait painter and
secretary of the Salmagundi Club, ap
pcarcd as complainant before Magis-
trasa Ryttonberg in Essex Market
Court yesterday against Thomas NJ.
and Margaret Bevans, owners Of
building at 16 West Tenth Street, in
which the artist rents an apartment
The charge was disordcriy conduct.
Miclziner told the magistrate he was
not OF quarrelsome nature and hated
uotoriety. but considered it gentle
mans duty to preserve, so far as pos
sible, the amenities of life. He had
been hampercd, he said, in his attempt
to pursue the arts of peace by hos
tile attitude on the part of Mr. and
Mrs. Bevans.
The witness said he had been
"hounded and badgercd" by both Bev-
anses since he took possession of his
apartment in their house on October l.
They insisted on his signing lease.
He referred them to his attorney He
had been moved to take the present
action, he declared, by behavior of Mr..
and Mrs. Bevans on the night of De-
cember Is, when he was giving a party
at his studio. While he and his
friends were listening to an address
on the Influence of the Italian Renais-
sance on modern art, Mrs. Bevans
slammed the door open and yelled,
Pay your remit
New-York tribune., 1921-12-30

"What did you then reply 2" inquired
Magistrate Ryttenberg.
~ said it was no time to talk rent"
replied the artist "sWhy don't you
have your lawyer take the matter up
Bevans"
Tho witness said Mrs. Bevans re-
piled that she didn't believe he had
any lawyers and anyway she didn't
want law; she wanted rent. He hnd
beon humiliatcd and annoyed by the
incident, he declared, so much so that
after thinking it over he had decided
TO bring this action. A distinguished
company of painters and litturateurs
had also been much upset.
Did you pay the rent?" inquired
the magistrate.
ut became rather n matter of fisti-
cuffs than rent" rctorted the witness.
~ spoke courtcously to Mrs. Bevans,
who was most rude. She turned to Il
rather heavy man who was with her
and demanded, Why don't you SOCK
him? indicating me-
Rlttenberg, wearily.
Mielziner drew his dapper figure to
its full height and answered:
"Sir, | threw myself into a posture
of defense"
Among the artists guests who wcre
on hand a s witnesses were Annie Ma
than Meyer, writer of short stories;
W. Van lngan, actor, living at % West
Tenth Street; Mrs Alma Morgan, 212
West SiXty-ninth Street and Latrobc
Carroll, actor, of "A West Tenth Street.

case to next Wednesday morning.

Mrs. Lightfoot were still too near ear
de saw. the young Deer come bound
ing back and take cross path in the
wrong direction, only TO discover his
mistake and come bounding back
again and follow the path to the place
where many paths crossed and there
take one that led IN quite the oppo~
site direction from the way The others
had gone.
Then Old Man Coyote grinned wick
etdly as he dropped into the path be-
low him and swiftly followed. This
was what he had been waiting for.
Ihis was the reward for his patience.
He knew that that young Deer wss
lost. Now was the time to get be-
tween him and the others md drive
him further from them until he could
get him cornered and drive him into
the deep snow.
:, Silently. swiftly, his nose holding
the trail, Old Man Coyote followed
the young Deer, every moment grow
ing more sure cf him. He grinned
again as he saw how completely lost
was that headstrong ounrster.
Things could not have turned out
better for Old Man Coyote. 1t was
all he could do to keep from yelpine
his JOY. He felt that that dinner Of
young Deer was as good as his al
ready.

Old Man Coyote.

Old Man Coyote learned the truth
OF ehat saying long ago. He had it
in mind when he crouched on the
snow in the Green Forest to watch
Lightfoot the Deer and his family.
lie kept it in mind as hour after
hour he watched and waited. When
Lishtfoot and Mrs. Lfghtfoot and the
twins moved from place to place in
their yard Old Man Coyote moved
also. always down the wind from
them. That means that he always
KEPT where the wind would blow from
them to him, taking the greatest care
never to get where it would blow
from him to them.
He hadn't watched the Lightfoot
family very long before he discov-
cred that one of the twins was care
'css and needless and q little head
strong. Old Man Coyote grinned
when he saw this. "It is just as 7
hoped" said he TO himself. "That
youngster thinks he knows it all He
doesn't mind. He wants to have his
own way. He wants to show off. lie
thinks he isn't afraid and he wants
to show that he isn't lie is the one

'But that hcadstrcng youngster has

am patient he may give me a chance
to get between him and the others
If can do that may be able to drive
him into the deep snow and then III

good it will taste!"
SO Old Man Coyote paid little at
tsntion to the others, but kept his
eyes on that headstrong young Deer.
Twice during the long hours he wait
ed and watched the young Deer lin
yered so long that Old Man Coyote
was tempted to try for him, but each
time the chance that Mrs. -ighrfoot,
or Lightfoot himself, or both, light
return to save their son was too
great, and he waited. And then late
IN the afternoon, just as the Black
shadows were beginning to steal
hrough the Green Forest, his pa
ience was rewarded.
He saw the careless ,oung Deer

tiations and any idea Of q truce.
No report of the proceedings Of
Mr.. de Valera's conference with the
southern Unionists has yet been is
sued, but 1t Is believed that the prin-
cipal topic discussed was truce and
that Eamonn Duggan, a Sim Fein
member Of parliament who was re-
leased from Mount Joy prison only
few days ago, acted as intermediary
between the conference and the Sim
Fein leaders.
Opinion still inclines to the idea
that General SHUTS, owing to the i'm
portant part he has taken in the pre-
liminary negotiations, will be the
first chairman Of the London confer
ence, even If Mr.. Lloyd George pre-
sides during the later stages, as
would be almost inevitable IL consti-
tutional questions were under discus
sion.
Another matter that has been
widely discussed today, arising out
OF the visit OF the secretary of war,
Sir Laming WorthingtonN Ncvans, to
the king yesterday, was the possibil-
ity that the military evacuation Of
Ireland is under consideration. This,
it is recalled, has been advocated by
many prominent statesmen. including
Viscount Grey, former secretary for
foreign affairs. In view Of General
MacReadys attendance at the Dublin
conference it is believed not impossi
bic that such development is actually
under adviscment.
