Morton Loses His
Appealed Case
Judge Smathers DismisseS
Appeal-MOrtOn Sentenc-
ed to 80 Days.

An appeal taken against the con-
viction of John Morton, of Zion
and Mill roads, Mortified, was dis
missed by Judge William II. Sma
theirs Friday. when evidence could
not be submitted by Morton's eoun-
sci showing that the appeal was
properly made, thereby giving the
court no jurisdiction in sustaining
it.
Police Recorder William B.
Stephens, of this city, sentenced
Morton, who, after losing the APP
peal. to begin serving a term of
so days in the county jail for driv-
ing an automobile while intoXicat-
ed
Morton's counsel endeavored to
base the appeal on the facts that
Recorder Stephens had no jurisdic-
ton in the case when he sentenc-
ed the Mortified man to- Jail. 1t
was shown by the records that if
Morton had committed violation
ii was in Egg Harbor Township,
and it was argued that Recorder
Stephens is not county magis-
trate, and therefore had no right
to handle a case coming from Egg
liarbor township, out of his BALI
wick.
The only chance left for Morton
now is to obtain a writ of certio-
rari out of Supreme Court to have
the casd reviewed on the grounds
upon which the appeal was taken.
