option of the District Court of Appeals
today denying him new trial on a
charge Of conspiracy Ito defraud in
connection with the sale of the stock
of the corporation Justice Josiah r..
Van Orsdel rendered the opinion OF
the appellate tribunal.
DeCamp was tried in the Spring of
1924 with Edwin G. Reed and Ralph
A. Howe. former officials of the COM
pany The jury convicted DeCamp,
acquitted Reed and disa greed as to
Howe. Samuel NJ. Acker and Ander-
son D. Lacy also were included in the
indictment, but obtained a severance
and have never been tried Justice
HtZ imposed sentence of is months
in May. 1924. and the case has since
been pending on AN appeal from that

permit Attorney 7. Morris Wampler
representing Decamp. to set up a
moving picture machine and run off
a film taken at the plant of the com
panN in oklahoma showing that glass

claims of the prosecution was that

In approving this ruling Justice Van
Orsdel SAYS: Theoretically. of course,
the moving picture can never be as
stunned Ia represent the actual occur
ence: what * seen in it is merely what
certain witnesses say was the thing
that happened and. moreover. the

the picture as to go considerably fur

moving picture is apt To cause forget
fulness of this and Ia impress the jury
with the convincing impartiality Of
nature herself. In view of these in

Judge may we'll deem a picture unsafe
