was unnecessary delay" be-
tween arrest and arraignment
of the accused. The Supreme
Court termed unnecessary"

The appeal by Defense At

tended that the court should
have excluded testimony about
an oral statement and written
confession Larkin made to po-
lice.
The appellate opinion. writ

held that the issue could be
examined by the court under
the "so-called McNabb- Mallory
rule"
The 1913 McNabb case. fore
runner Of the Mallory decision
involved the issue of involuntary
confessions extracted by police
Shortly after that ruling, the
Municipal Court Of Appeals
held that it would apply to

we're enacted by Congress. the
same legislative body that en-
acted (the Municipal Court's)

same 80"
Therefore. Judge Quinn
wrote. the appellate court held
that the Mallory doctrine ap-
piled to Municipal Court "just
as the McNabb rule, its prede-
cessor."
The opinion noted that Lar
kin voluntarily went to police
headquarters at 10 am. Oc-
tober 4 and was not arrested
until an hour later. The oral
admissions, the opinion held,
we're clearly admissible" since
they were made before he was
in custody. The written con-
fession. at 1910 pm. was "a
permissible procedure and a
legitimate delay" the opinion
tloted.
No Error Found
The arraignment, which took
place before 2:30 pm, fol-

ness" the appellate decision
said. I'VE do not think there
was any error in admitting

The appellate decision also
overruled the defense claim
that Judge Scalley displayed

Considering the case as a

we are quite satisfied that APP
