As soon it, Farr d and asked to two more of their number, G. R. all to their destination and left them. ! Each passenger paid the defendant 50 cents. ©On cross examination by Attorney A. 8. the defendant, each of the witnesses admitted that hi purpose in coming to Putnam was to see if any of the public service drivers were breaking the law. All admitted that so far as they knew no complaints that the law was being broken had been made. It was anticipated by the defendant and his counsel that the state’s claim was to be based on the fact' that each passenger pald 50 cents. The defendant took the stand on his own behalf snd admitted all that had been testified to by the trolley company's special agents, ex- cept that defendant testified he was ap- proached by the first two men and asked how much it Would cost to be taken to Dayville. The answer to this was “Two dollars.” The men then boarded the car and askeq the defendant to wait a min- ute, saying two more were coming. The two other special agents then appeared and asked if they could go along and were allowed to do s0. * Based on this testimony, % was claim- ed by the representatives of the trolley company that the defendant broke the jit- ney law because he received dls- charged passengers “indiscriminately. Defendant's counsel argued at some length, prefacing his remarks by saying that anything he might say was not to be in any way taken as a reflection on the | T8l d2¥. prosecution, but that he might say some- % thing that would Teflect upon some of those concerned. He then scored the trolley company and alluded to the whole proceeding in trying to trick law-abiding public service automobile drivers into a téchnical breach of the law as one of the most despicable proceedings that he had ever heard of in the city court. He sald that the trolley company was not to_enforce any law for the good of the public at large but only for its own seifish ends. He thought i the defendant wa: guilty that these men who had tried Inveigle the defendant into breaking the law were guilty as conspirators in that they were doing it for a private purpose. But, the defendants counsel argued, the law upon which the charge was based intends to affect drivers of automobiles Who cover a fixed route, That the term “fixed route” is found throughout the whole law and that the law should be taken as a whole, not a phrase of it se- lected on which to predicate a charge, The matter finally developed into an informal discussion of the situation, the prosecutor stating that he hoped the court’s decision on the whole matter might be obtained, as he had other sim- flar cases from the same source. Judge Geissler gave his opinion that there was no evidence that the defendant had “run over a regular route” or “be- tween fixed termini” Neither did he con- sider rceeiving several passengers at once versity, scholarship for the year.
