TALLEY CENSURES

Judge Says Acquittals Aid
Crime When the Verdicts Go
Against Evidence.

After a jury in General Sessions yes
terday had acquitted Charles S. War
field, 43, a negro. Of 126 West 139th
street, charged with murder, Judge AL
fred j. Talley turned>to the jury box
and said:
''Of course. gentlemen. you are en-
tirely within your rights in finding this
verdict. but the verdict shocks and APP
pals this court
Judge Tailey added that I'VE lead the
worlds record in crime, and particularly
in murder. because juries render ver-
diets of this kind"
Warfiel1 was on trial for the killing
of James Goodwin, 81. negro superin-
tendent Of an apartment house at 3099
Broadway on August 5 last. His plea
was self-defense. For two years prior
to the killing Warfield had lived with
Goodwins daughter, who was the wife
of Warfields half-brother. When the
foreman pronounced the verdict War
field collapsed and had to be carried
from the court.
Continuing in his remarks 10 the jury,
Judge Talley said:
Here is a case of decent. hard

went there with the precise purpose OF
killing him because he had been or
dered to keep away from the home Of
the deceased.
The responsibility is entirely yours
not mine. ! rejoice that no part of the
responsibility attaches to me.
This kind of verdict makes futile the
efforts of the Police Department and the
prosecuting officials in their efforts tc
protect lawabiding people.
There were $500 homicides in this
country last year. and as declared at the
national lawyers convention In Sar
Francisco last summer. this Is about tn,
average in the last ten years. No Other
country in the world has a record fol
such shocking lawlessness, and the rea
son that we lead the worlds record II

juries render verdicts of this kind.
You apparently have believed thu
fantastic and impossible tale told by thu
defendant. 1t Is shocking to the cour
and humiliating to me. How any twelve
jurors could believe 1t is beyond my com
prehenslon."
Judge Talley commended James II
Macdonald. Assistant District Attorney
and Moses Sachs. attorney for the de
fendant for the manner In which the,
had tried the case. The jury was dis
charged without the courts thanks.
