M, A. WEAVER, PROPRIETOR, T. P.O. DEPT, oc3 THE POINT AS 10 COMMON DUTY. Analogous Cases Alluded to and Some Authorities Cited. THE BUDDENSIECK CASE. At 11:15 this morning Mr. H. E. Davis of counsel for Messrs. Ainsworth, Dan:, Co- vert and Sasse, twice indicted for man- slaughter in connection with the Ford's Theater disaster of the Ith of Tune last, re- sumed his argument on the demurrer filed by the defendants against the indictments before Judge McComas, in Criminal Court, No. 1. ° After briefly reciting the crounds ursed by him last week in support of the demurrer, Mr. Davis contrasted the indictment in the Buddensteck case and the ones in the case at bar, asserting that in the former case the defendant was charged with an ect of commission, -vhile the defendants in the present case were simply charged with acts of omission. Mr. Davis also asserted that the court of appeals of New York in hear- ing the Buddensteck case did not pass vpon questions which might have been raised on trial by demurrer, as to measure of care, &c. But during the trial, said Nr. Davis, the jury were told by te court that the de- fendant was required to observe ordinary care only in conducting his work, while in the present indictments the defendants ‘were sought to be responsible because they failed to exercise unusual and extravrdi- nary care, an extreme and illegal measure of care. As to Joint or Com: Duty. Mr. Davis then proceeded to discuss the fourth point of the demurrer, viz: That the indictment charged criminal responsibility upon several for the omission of an alleged Joint or common duty not exclusively the duty of any one of the defendants, and yet not a joint or common duty in the sense | ‘that each of said defendants was charged exclusively with the performance of con- temporaneous or successive parts of a joint | or common process. Where more than one man is charged with the consequences of the omission of the same duty, the indictment must fail, argued Mr. Davis, and unless a joint duty has become by circumstances exclusive no criminal neglect can be predicated of its omission. So, unless each of the defend- ants took upon himself the exclusive duty of performing the work in the present case, and each omitted to safely perform it, they could not be held responsible. If the duty be not exclusively assumed no criminality will attach to the injurious omission. Hence, in the present case, stated Mr. Davis, the negligent omission sought to be charged against the defendants could not have been the omission of each and every one of them | until after each and every one of them | became conscious of the alleged criminal | omission and failed to remedy the evil. Analogous Cases Cited. In examining the authorities, Mr, Davis said he had failed to find a single case where an indictment similar to those under discussion had been sustained. The case more directly analogous to the present one | was that of Rex agt. Lloyd ( C. & P., 01), decided in 184. In that the indictment charged that the prisoner, who was one of three men working a windlass, in which the strength of all three was necessary, forced the other two men to leave the windlass, killing a man on whom the bucket fell. Although the prisoner was ac- quitted, because he was charged with force, the indictment was instructive, because to make an omission by one a ‘common or joint duty criminal a collective duty was wired to be alleged. "jn answer to an inquiry by Judge Mc- Comas, Mr. Davis replied that if the bucket had fallen becBuse of the omission of proper care on the part of each man working the windlass, then the three men would, properly, have been separately in- dicted. And that course, he asserted, should have been pursued’ in the case at bar. Each Answerable for His Own Acts. In a criminal case, continued Mr. Davis, every man Is answerable for his own acts, and there must be some personal act or omission to constitute responsibility. So, in order to a conviction for manslaughter it would have to be alleged in the indict- ments that the negligent act which caused death was the act or omission of each, but not in one and the same indictment, said Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis then discussed the case of Queen agt. Pocock et al. (7 Q. B., 34), de- cided 181, where the defendants were charged with manslaughter because of thelr neglect to keep in repair a certain road. There were on the bench in the hear- ing of that case, said Mr. Davis, four very learned judges and they quashed the in- quisition, holding that the neglect to con- tract for the repair of the road, to make the defendants guilty of it or liable, must | have been a personal omission and that death must have been shown to have been the immediate result of that personal neg- lect. What the Government Has Fatled to De. In the case at bar, stated Mr. Davis, the government had absolutely failed to connect personally any one of the defendants with the. fall of the building. It would not do, he said, to hurl at their heads a veritably unlimited vocabulary of words, and in that way hope to drag them in. “But, on the contrary,” exclaimed Mr. Davis, “the gov- ernment must, if it can, point out the one | man guilty of the alleged neglect, and charge him with the crime. So, if any one of the defendants could have prevented the disaster, then there was no exclusive duty on the ‘part of the four defendants, and there is the very highest authority for say- ing that in such an event there can be no felony. And, too, if other negligent omis- | sions had occurred in the present case,which the defendants had every reason to believe would not have occurred. A Reply the District Attorney. Replying to a remark of District Attorney Birney that the duty of the defendants could be proven, Mr. Davis said he thanked his friend for that suggestion, for in the remark the purpose of the government to allege substantially nothing against the de. fendants, and then on the trial prove them guilty, if possible, of something unknown to them was disclosed. That purpose, serted Mr. Davis, was the real great vice of the two indictments, and when his friend Birney had become of greater experience he would realize that fact. The Texas court of appeals, remarked Mr. Davis, had considerable standing in the | District at the present time, and rightly so, he said, for the court held a position for learning few others enjoyed at the present time. That court had declared that to constitute criminal negligence or careless- ness there must have been a violation of some duty imposed by law, directly or im- plicitly, and with which the defendant ts especially charged, But the Texas ccurt | went even further, and declare’ the sponsibility must be exclusive and emptory. Absurdity Asserted. In view of such authority and others none less pre-eminent Mr. Davis claimed thet it w absurd to say that the omission charg- ed against the four Cefendants in the pres- ent case could be the joint omission of every one of them. In concluding hits argument Mr. Davis raid that it was wrong to say that judges were not aware of all that was transpiring in the world about them, and he felt no hesitation in saying that there was # pu lic clamor for the conviction of the fv: ¢efendants. ed A Military A Secretary Lamont has concluded to fol- low in the footsteps of his predecessors and have a military atd In his office.
