yesterday at the request Of the
Government.

he asked for the bond increase
because he felt persons charged
with offenses under Public Law

be kept off the streets and away
from the public until they have

The defendant, John s. Laco-

when a citizen called police and
reported seeing Lacovaro making
indecent advances to the girl.
Police said they observed the ac-

Dorsey Interprets Court Ruling
|AsNo Reflection on Character

while, in 1899, in the course o1
antitrust proceedings against
Hartford Empire in a Fedora
court in Ohio. witnesses disclosed
that the trade journal article Of
1928 was written, not by Mr.
Clarke, but by Roswell F. Hatch,
Hartford Empire employe.
| Hearings Opened In "A.
After the Supreme Court deci-
sion in the Hazel-Atlas case, in
volving charges Of fraud against
Hartford Empire, the Patent Of
fee opened disbarment hearings
against Mr.. Dorsey. Mr.. Hatch and
two other men in November, 1914
Mr.. Dorsey denied knowing Mr.
Clarke did not write the article.
The Patent Office board ruled
Mr.. Dorsey had known Mr.. Hatch
wrote it. It disclosed that failure
to disclose the fact in the patent
application helped influence the
issuance OF the patent. 1t also
brought out that Mr.. Clarke re-
ceived $1,000 from Hartford-Em-
pire early in the 1930s, although
there was no evidence or charge
that Mr.. Dorsey knew Of 1t.
BY a To vote the board voted
permanent disbarment of the
four men in January. 1945. The
two members urged only one
year suspension. Mr.. Dorsey alone
appealed to the courts. Judge
James w. Morris, in January
1947, upheld the Patent Office Or
der.
The Court of Appeals, in a 2 to
l decision, last January, ruled for
|Mr. Dorsey. The majority opin-
ion Of Judges Miller and Clark de-
scribed the Patent Office proceed
ings as IAN example Of bureau
cratic lynch law" and as a "kan-
garoo court" Judge Edgerton,
dissenting, said the evidence was
sufficient to support the order.
Attorney William E. Leahy, rep
resenting Mr.. Dorsey before the
Supreme Court, argued that the
1914 Patent Office proceedings
dug up a "stale" case from 1926
and evidence that depended on
fading memory instead of docu-
mentary proof" He declared that
testimony in the court proceed
ings in the 1930s against Hart
ford Empire was used against Mr.
Dorsey by the Patent Office. al
though he had no connection with
subsequent fraud charges.
