DIRECTED VERDICT
ENDS RA|CHLE CASE
Attorney Not Guilty of
Charges Growing Out of
Trial of Pitts.

Frank G. Raichie, Buffalo, N. Y,
attorney, won directed verdict of not
guilty yesterday in District Supreme
Court, where he had been tried on
charges Of subornation of perjury and
obstructing justice.
Justice F. D. Let's ruled the essential
elements Of the charges had not been
sufficiently proved.
The charges against Raichle grew
out of the trial of three F. H. Smith
Co. officials in November, 1890. In
that case number of authorizations
and notes were introduced in evidence
| in an effort to show G. Bryan Pitts,
one Of the defendants, was entitled to
money he was accused of embezZling
! 1t was subsequently charged that these
documents were spurious and that
Raichle inspired their preparation.
In announcing his decision, Justice
| Let's said
Il think the word procure used in
the subornation of perjury charge, Is
very definite. 1t means to initiate a
proceeding or cause a thing to be done
oAAO NOCo llOJ 1Ilcdn IIlc llcTt QdSSlNt
| permitting of an act. 1t means some
| thing more than standing by and per-
mitting some wrongful thing to be done
even when the person accused knows II
Is TO be done. In this case, sufficient
evidence that Mr. Raichle initiated the
coE9ission Of perjury is lacking.
AS TO this court, and also as to the
| count charging obstruction of justice
! the witnesses for the Government have
been discredited and, other than their
| testimony, there is no evidence of q
corroborative nature in the record. The
rule Of evidence does not require cor
roboration, but here the two essential
witnesses are so utterly discredited that
| the court will assume the responsibility
and strike out the testimony of Pitts
and John. H. Edwards, jr, another for
mer officer of the Smith Co., and sus-
tain the motion by the defense for a
directed verdict of not guilty"
