acts be referred to the district at
torney, but Ingalls, Informed him the
statute Of limitations has run against
any prosecution.
ingalls, testified he thought the in
come bonds, which pay interest only
when it is earned, we're desirable as
a means of refinancing the Wardman
properties. He said this type of bond
issue Is good insurance against an
other reorganization and protects the
bond holders fully if the properties
are honestly operated.
Ingalls, criticized the action of the
Wardman receivers, Thomas Carson,
Julius I. Peyser and Joseph Tumulty,
the latter two being lawyers, for en-
gaging counsel, who were paid SIS 1000
for their services. The committee has
expressed the belief that a lawyer,
when named as q receiver with q
business man, should act as his own
attorney, thereby saving money for
the bondholders.
He commended District Supreme
Court Justice F. Dickinson Let's for
giving the minority Wardman bond
holders. representing 2 per cent OF
the total, an opportunity to accept a
cash payment of % cents on the dol
lar after the sale Of the properties, or
the right to come in with the 98 per
cent majority and take the income
bonds.
THAT was unusual, and, I think,
very fair" ingalls, declared.
He said he believes Halsey-Stuart
Co., one Of the banking houses which
floated the bonds, started out in their
usual manner" to control the reorgan-
ization, with purpose of eventually
owning the properties If they should
be worth anything. but lost their
grip" when Leonard L. Stanley. an
ofiicial Of the company, was indicted.

1OTO-2 VERD|CTS
URGED BY.COUNSEL
Nelson, in Letter to Senator
King, Quotes Star
Editorial.

Assistant Corporation Counsel
George D. Nelson. assigned to Police
Court, today wrote Senator King,
chairman of the Senate District Com
mittee, calling his attention to an edi-
torial in The Star of last Thursday
advocating l0-to-2 verdicts in GRIM
inal cases other than murder.
In his letter, Nelson pointed par
ticularly to a quotation in the edi-
torial referring to New York as one
of the leading and progressive juris-
dictions of the country which has
moved to adopt such an arrangement
and states that logic clearly supports
the assertion that "a mistrial, through
failure of one juror to agree, is q
grievouS waste of time and unmis-
takably an encouragement to the
criminal-minded."
The assistant corporation counsel
declares in his letter that the 10
to-2 verdict" would not be an undue
hardship on the accused, since he
stands to benefit just as the prosecu-
ton does. The chances of his re-
ceiving a speedy trial would be greatly
improved and when 10 citizens can
say, under oath, that they have an
abiding conviction of the defendants
guilt, or his innocence, the decision
is so overwhelming that it should be
taken as conclusive. In other words,
two persons should not be in a posi-
tion to thwart the Judgment of 10
fellow citizens whose motives, tnteg-
rity, and sense Of duty are at least
equally as high as those Of the
minority" Nelson refers in his letter
to q recent case Of q man tried for
driving under the influence Of liquor
where the jury hung" by q vote Of
10 to 2.
While the defendant In this case
