.. THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: T:HURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1873. fr— THE LAW COURTS. The Pertest COamy Again-—-Letter' From Edward Roby, Griminal Court Procoedings.-Eloction of Su. porior Court Judges. An Unusyal Sct.Off Cnsc-~-Banlk- ruptey Notes. T the Kditor of The Chicago Tribune: Sim¢_ It apposrs by a copy of tho record of Court, ” publishod {n Tux Tamune of the 17th, that tho Criminal Court of Cook County took up the oaso of Androw J. Porteot, who had boon convioted of murdor, and changed the vonue to Will County; aud tho man was again trisd upon tho indiotmont, on tho more opinion of a Justico of the Bupreme Court, and boforo the causo was romanded. - Doubtloss tho public dosire to undorstand the subjoct. Thomnn has been twico convicted, and they thinlk ho ought to bo huug. No more technicality should paralyze tho arm of justice and malke it appear that punishmont for capital crimes cannot bo Inflloted. The history of the Porteot cnso is briefly this: Portoct, indioted for murdor, domnuded a changa of venno, in accordanco with his right under tho statuto, The Criminal Court refused the right, compolled him to trial here, convicted and on- tored judgmont againet him wpon the indict- mont. At the closo of the tarm tho power of the Court ovor the indiotment censed. It had no power but to cause oxcoution of the judgment. A writ of error was allowed and supersdiled this power. Thercaftor the Criminal Gourt had no power over this mattor gxcopt undor the com- mand of the Bupreme Court, Tho Buprome Court was the only tribunal in the Btate which could revorso tho judgmont or suthorizo & noe trial. % The law requires that Court, boforo or at the timo it entors judgmont, to stato the ronsons upon which its decision isbnged. Theso reazons ore writton out by ono of the Justicos and called tho opinion. Upon oxamination in conference it froquently happens that somo of tho Judges concur in tho result but not tho reasons, and thoy writo separate opinions; others disagreo ontirely, and thoy wnte dissenting opinions. "Tho mejority of the Court determino the judg- ment and ordor its entry confirming, raversing or modifying the judgment of the Court below, and dotermining the mauner in which that Court shall proceod, and what steps it skall tako in tho causo. Tho law gives tho Suprome Court powor toalter its judgment ot ony tine within six ‘months, if, upon fnrther considoration, it shall ‘bo found to bo orroncous ; and, in case any two of tho Judges shall boliove a caso ought to Lo roboard, thoy may stay sll proceedings until tho noxt torm of Court. A majority of the Judges may at any time ontor orders aud judg- monts in cases submitted to tho Court and taken under advisomont. Anopinion stating ronsons which have influ- enced ono or moro of the Judges is & vory diffor- out thing from tho judgment of the Court, and tho orders and procosses proseribed by the Court to carry tho judgment into effect. i The Criminal Court of Cook County had be- fore it nothing but a certified copy of the opin- lon. . For authority to act it might as well have bad & newepapor ropost. It could only conjoc- ture tho judgmont that the Bupreme Court would entor from tho roasons assigned, but whother tho Supremo Coust was then ongaged in further considoration of the case, or when that Court would lssuo its command requiring tho Criminal Court to act, or what spocifle direc- tiom8 it would giva to prevent future orrors, tho Orimingl Court could not kmow. It had no powor to rovorso tho former judgmont, or to enter any judgment on o mero opinion. The udgment * guilty of the crimes charged in tho dictment " stood unreveraed upon its records, and there was nothing to try. A grave queation might arlecif the Suprama Courd should now bo askoed to issue its manduto reversing the firat flxdfimunt of the Orimiug) Court, and command- g it to })\'ov:oml to try the man upon the indict~ mont. If it had uo suthority to sond the man to ‘Will County, and tho indictmont was at that timo’ merged in the judgment, so that Ehero was nothing to bo tried—if the Criminal Court had no jurisdiction of the subject mattar, appedrance of the partics could not confer it; tho trinl was o farco, and of no moro effeot than s sham trial by the bailiffs, and it would scem that even o verdict of acquittal in Will County would be no bar to trial in due courae, undortho command of tho Supromo Jourt. . Unless & jailor is warranted in confining a cit- izen upon mero information that a Justiceof the Peaco has concluded to hold him to bail, and without a warrant of commitmont; unless, in- deed, in casos nffecting lifo, wo disponsoe withall regularity, and sanction looser proceodings than ‘would be permittedin tho mostordinary business tranenctions, it would appear that tho Criminal Court, or any other to which it might send the man, could not ry and hang the man till suthor- ity isd boon pommlttad to it by s warraat rog- ar upon its faco, issued Ly tho proper author- ity. {fi scems that tho Justico of tho Supreme Court was obligod to grant the supersedeas to provont & judiclal murder. - Ho had nothing bofore_ him but the record, and that showed no authority to try and hang the man, and ho could not take tho testimony of any person to impeach the rocord 2and show & dilferent stato of facts, even though rumor suggestod that other facts oxisted, There aro cases wheore Judges tako bribos to decido wrong; thers are othors whera they proceed from o more dangorous motive, and seok pro- toxts for declding cases one way or the ‘other to promoto thoir idens of justico, to satisfy public opinion as they view it, to sustain their “eonsist- enay, 'mdaupfinrc formor decisions, not one mo- tive boing within tholr oath to do their duty so- cording tolaw. Indeed many Judges would rath- er commit porjury thon surrondor these motives or acknowledge that the law is wisor than they. Of course the lnw I uscless when so adminia- tered,” The caprice of thosomen takos its place, ovorthrowing pll sccurity., Yet, we have little protection against such " usurpations, except in an enlightonad publio -opinion, and it scoms {aropur nt, a8 the publio aro disappointed at his second roprieve of Perteot, thoy should un- dorstand tho rcason, and eco that it was a duty the Judgs was bound to perform, unloss he pro- ferrod to betray Lis oafh and usurp the power to sot aside tho law.

W. Bcott's land speou- Intion,—tho notorious Boulovard Addition to Ohloago,—Is hoing oxtonsively doalt in through- out- Michigan, " Wisconain, and the Enstori Btates. Tho only offectual method of putting o stop to the' disnetrous offoots to hundrods of familios that may follow tho desling in theso comotery lots, is to oxposo tho matter in » man- nor moro thoroughly than has yet boen doue, and that s briofly as possiblo, ond at tho samo time publish tho names of thase who, how- ovor innocontly or unforiunatoly for thom, aro now ' tho lholders: of such lots, in ordor that peoploin this city or elsewhoro, who aro about trading for, or about to purchaso .| thero lots of tho persons in question, may ab onco knofv tho roal natare of tho artiole thoy contemplnte trafficking in. This weel, a lawyor rocolved a lotter from:a prominent Now York liousp, stating that tho latter wes about to ad- vance 91,000 on 60 many lots, blook so-and-so, Boulevard Addition to Chicago, and asking him to look into tho title. They never quostioned tho value, but apparontly assumed it to bo ample gocurity,. The lawyor told the law reporter of the circumstance, and to- gothor thoy looked into the mattor, discovoring befors long that other lawyors had recolved similar lettors of Inquiry from many Btatos, notably Michigan and Wisconsin. Asall thoso lawyers, basing their opinlon on articles in tho Chicago press, and not on their own knowledge, scrupled nok to call tho Boule-* vard ontorprise *‘a swindle,” without hoving trotibled thomaolvos to certify the facta at-head- quarters, tho reporter procseded to repair tho omission. Ho found that George W. Boott had purchased, for’ §0 por acre, tho northwost quartor of the southwest quartor of Sec« tion 19, Township 87, from ono John Me- Caffory and wifo. 'This lnnd is that platted as the Roulovard Addition.to Chicago. Turning to the maps of the county, tho roporter found no description of the land in tho now maps, buz& tho old, this land aod all surronnd- ing it, was marked ‘Bwaxp,” Iis distanco from the Gourt Honso.is not far short of twenty milos. The noxt thing fo do way to oxamine tho within the past two months, boen substituted by not loss than sevenfcen new ones ; and after a pationt examination, Tue TRIDUNE roprosonta- tivo discoverod that, of the soventeen plats, ton showed lots mensuring oach 16 fook by 80 foot ; snd tho other six plats showed lots all measur- ing 6 foot 7-10 inches, by.87 210 inches!! Tha streots moasured, oxnctly six foet In width all through, and tho alloys about 18 inches! And tho conveyancos show that thege lots have boon selling at the rato of $200 each! They aro worth nothing., Of these lots, 6,048 havo been platted for sale, and, once bought, thoy muat bo paid for by tho pnmfiusrs; there is no gotting out of the scrape by charging thiais a swindle. Legally, it {s nothing of the kind, The title is good, and the lots are what they are represented to be, namoly, lots iu the Boulevard Addition to Ohicago. Tho protty littlo plans that are pro- ducod to the intending purchaser confirm the first fayorablo improssions. The Boulovard Ad- dition 18 regularly laid out—on paper—in avenuen and ‘streots and alloys, namely, Park, Willow Grove, Rustic Grove, Jentral, and Grand Drive avenucs, all six foel wido, running north and south, torminating on tho wost by Marble row ; the north and south boundarics, running from east_to wnut.s being, wnorth, Boulovard: avenue, and south, Promenade avonue—beauti- ful; high-sounding’: progroasive, hoalthy namas, Twhat, though tie width of theso avenuos bo bu tho length'of & man, and whole affair as unsubstantial, - shadowy, and unreal a8’ swamp can make it. Commoent, a8 the poet eaith, is su- poriluous. Hero are the namoa of the persons to whom conveyancos have beon mado down to dato, nnd although long lists of names aro usu- ally loolked upon as so much wasto of space, we doubt not that huudreds of.readers will think ifltlu)rwhw, when they read these lines this morn- ug : 8, W.

Lotter from Judgo Knowltou--Whnt Portoot’s Counscl Knowa, nnd What ¥e¢ Docs Not NnowAbout the Removal of n Cnuse from an Xnferior to an Appcelinte Court. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribunc: . B Bim: Inyour issuo of the 18th inst., appoars a communication from Chatles IT. Reod, Esq., State's Attornoy of- this county, concerning the Portoot case. Ho statea somo faots of his own knowledge aflirmatively and somo nogativoly, He also plainly indicatos his opinion to bo that a causo ia remitled from a supremo to an inforfor Court by filing o cortified copy of the opinion of rover- gal. Aftor this, with all elso published about tho case, I feol compellod to speak. 1t may bo fairly prosumed that I know some- thing of tho facts and of tholaw of this Perteot caso, a8 I have tried it twico and argued it onco fn the Bupremo Court. T dootre to stato nomo things which I do know, and some which I do not, concorning the case in quostion. Tirst—An tho caso now stands in the Buprome Court thore nre twonty errors assigned. Socond—I do not know upon ‘what partioular error, or orrors, tho writ of error was allowed aud mado o suporsedeas by Judge MoAllistor. He did not inform me, and I am not awaro of tho fact (if such bo the fact) that he has ever told anyone elso. I havo littlo doubt that this supersedess writ of error was allowed by the Judge, in consequence of his having more confi~ donco in the opinions of such Judges s Lord Hulo, Lord Mansflold, Hawlkins, Kont, Parsons, Sponcor, and Mayshall, than ho hod in a fow floating pounds of imagination, having no basia in cither fact, law, or xoason. ‘Third—I am quito woll satisfied, from conver- sation with good lawyers, rad from roading ole- mentary works an ndjmlged cas2s that somo yery good lawyers, both off and on the bench, have Inbored undor an improssion that, where a cnuee has been removed from an inforior to an appelato Court, either by appeal or writ of orror, that it romalned in that Court, oven aftor o roversal of the jndgment therein, until it was sont back by & document, or writ called a romittitur; and = which ex- hibits what tho record fn the ap- pollate Court shows, has beon dono by that tribunal; and, that this speoios of rosord ovi- donco ia tho only evidence which can properly bo prosentod to the Inferior Court, ns a basis of any furthor action therein. However, Mr. Rood seemed to entertain the opinfon that o cortified copy of an opinion of on appollato Court {8 & remittibur. I do not know, nor do I care fo know, how mony lowjors thoro are in this city who “will agree with Mr. Reed. Tha number may be suflicient to frighten a man pos- sossed of no milltary courage 3 Fourth—Ono thing is certain, that the record in this Perteet cnso does not show that any ro- mittitur in tho oase bas ever been sent from the Bupreme Court to tho Criminal Court of Coolc County, or to the Gircuit Court of Will County. And it is oqually cortain, that thia dofect of rec- ord was by myself assigned for error, _The pince to discuss tho valldity of this'as- eignment is in the Bupreme Court, hence I shall nat undortake that task at this timo, nor through the medium of & newspaper. Fifth—Tho record does show that the evi- denco prouented to the Criminal Court of Cook County, of the reversnl of the former judfimnnt, wea & cortified aop{la! tho opinion of tho Bu- remo Court, and thot u; that evidence alone ho causo was redocketed in said Criminal Coust. 1t was not, therofore, ro-docketed upon the filin, of o rewittitur from tho Supreme Court, whic] would havo beon tho proper ovidence, and, as I think, tho only ‘}mpr nvidonco of tho judgment of roversal. "Time and the decision of tho Bu- promo Court will do som:thing to inform the world who is right upon this question, na woll as upon some othor important questions now in- volved in tho caso. I may, perhaps, bo par- doned for suggosting, that it is barely possiblo that o closor attontion to tho roquiromonts of tho law in capital cases, even at tho exponse of less sttention to the manufacture of publio sentiment against o porson whose lifo is at stako, would contributo somowhat to the de- oreuso of orror, and to a botter state of con- seience beforo asking a conviction, and the im- osition of tho ponalty of death.
