Justice Frederick Il. Crane wrote a
dissenting opinion, in which Justice John
w. Hogan concurred. and In which he
said:
American literature has been fairly
clean. That the policy of this State is
to keep 1t so is indicated by Section 1141
Of the Penal Law (the one under which
Mr.. Halsey was arrested). The Legis-
lature has declared in this section that
no obscene, lewd, lascivious or disgust
ing book shall be sold. Language could
not-be palmer"
Mr.. Halsey was arrested November
II, 1917, for selling to an agent Of the
New York Society for the Prevention Of
Vice copy In translation Of Gavtier's
work Subsequently he was acquitted In
Special Sessions and brought an action
in the Supreme Court for malicious prose-

Ovid survives. So this book also has

''On the other hand, It does contain
many indecent paragraphs. We are
dealing, too. with translation where
the felicities of style may be attenuated.
1t Is possible that the morality of New
York city to-day may be on a higher
plane than that of Paris in 1S36-that
there is less vice, less crime.
I'VE admit freely that a book may
be thoroughly indecent. no matter how
great the author or how fascinating the
style. It is also true that well known
writer's have committed crimes. yet It
is difficult to trace the connection be-
tween this axiom and the question we
are called upon to decide. DIR. Dodd
was hanged for forgery, yet his SER
mons were net indecent. Oscar Wilde
was convicted of personal wrongdoing
and confined In Reading Jail. 1t does
not follow that his plays are necessarily
obscene. 1t Is also true that the work

lieve that 1t Is for the jury, not for
us. to draw the inference that must

Justice Andrews also held that no
book may be Judged from selection Of
paragraphs alone.

peliate Division. The action went twice

Criticisms Are Quoted.
After quoting from criticism of Gau-
tier as made by Sainte- Beuve, Henry
James. James Breck Perkins and Benja-
min w. Wells. Justice William S. An
drews in the majority opinion writes:
We have quoted conflicting estimates
of the book as showing the manner in
Which II reacts on different minds. The
conflict that exists among the MEM

There Is the work of great author

We may take judicial notice that it has
