CITARGE OF THE JUDGE. ‘The court said that John W. Coomes had been on the detective force for years; that It wasa place of trust, which was generally filled by men of character. ‘The presumption 1s that defendant 1s innocent of any violation of law, and when a man comes charged with an Offense he 15 to be tried by law, not by clamor— senseless, passionate clamor. If he 1s guilty let_him be convicted, and if not acquit him, not- withstanding the clamor. ‘The three indictments grow out ofthe same transaction. He is cha With receiving stolen goods, cxtorting money, and ting his’ duty by neglecting to report his reception of the money. The court took up the charges and said that a man who received stolen goods for the purpose of profit. or extorting money from the owner should be punished. He did not see in this case a particle of evidence that Coomes wag guilty under that tndictment; and he referred to the evidence, _‘ relating what had passed between Rittershofer and Coomes, in which a statement was made as to expenses, but there was no bargain nor promise made, Subse- quently Coomes accosted McCauley, who denied that he knew anything of it, although he was the thet and was promised $10 if he would produce them, McCauley then returned the things. If in this transaction they found that Coomes was work- ing in the interest of Rittershofer then it was impos- sible to convict him under the first indictment. His opinion was that Coomes was then acting for Rittershoter. ‘The charge that he received stolen goods 1s absurd. Next the charge of extorting money was considered, and the Court said if an officer refused to perform his duties Ul paid he was guilty. There was no evidence that Coomes’ course was such. He asked Rittershofer for #15, and when he refused Coomes went off promis- ing to do the best he could, and he took no money. After the property Was recovered ‘Kittershoter. vol: untarily handed him $10, Money paid that way 1s not extorted. ‘The payment was voluntary, and he might say it was a proper act, e next indictment, Violating duty as an officer, was taken up, and the court said the general rulé is that an officer who violates his duty 13 indictable. Sections 857, 258, 359 and 360, In reference to police- men receiving rewards, were read, and the court said it was made the duty’ of defendant on recelving any rewand or present for the ance of his duty to make report to his superior of that fact. This was the only indictment under which there is ground for conviction. He recetved $10, paid $% to McCauley, but had not’ reported it.’ The law itself ‘provides the penalty: be of removal.” It was his duty to make the report, but he did not doit and he had been removed from office—that ‘Was all the punishment the.law provided; that’s the end of this case, gentlemen, Verdict of Not Guilty. At 2:45 the jury, without leaving the box. returned a verdict of “not guilty.” There was some ap- plause, which was promptly checked.
