ALBANY, N. Y., Jan. 15.—Radtent reforms in the system of iegal proce- @ure in the State courts was recom- mended to-day in a special message to the Legislature, with which Gov. Sulzer forwarded the report of the Board of Gtatutory Consolidation, appointed to investigate the needs of such legisia- tiem and make specific recommende- dens. The members of this board are Adolph T. Rodendeck, William B. Horn- Slower, John G. Milburn, Adelbert Moot end Charles A. Colina, “My experience as a lawyer,” eays the Governor, “and my observation of the conduct of Htigatiun in our courts, : ave competed me to the conviction that, Guring the last thirty years, @ new set ef complex technicalities has grown un- @eneciously into our eystem of legal Procedure, efding to the uncertainty, Gelaye and expense of litigation, ob- g@ructing the administration of justice end causing evil results which fall moat heavily upon those least able to bear them, sometimes amounting, in practical effect, to denial of justice and closing the doors of the courts against the very the courts for protection against the op- yression and injustice of the wealthy nd powerful. fORMS IN THE LAW THAT THE BOARD PROPOSES, “The Board unanimously recomments, Qs & substitute for the present Code of Civil Procedure: “1. A Short .Practice act which would preserve in statutory form the fundaments! and jurisdictional maters of procedure in the present | code, with such changes as may be Mecessary to adapt such provisions to present conditions. “2. Rules of Court (subject to adoption, amendment and repeal by e idges) re-drafted #0 as to pre- aerve and regulate such minor de- tails of practice in the present Code Ygurt rules, and should be pre. in the written law, but ori ntirely minute details of prac: tico which can bo regulated much more satisfactorily by each judge before whom such maters come up for determination, and without any @anger that the jud and modernize the practice a0 as to g@ecure a prompt and final deter- @mination of legal controversies ac- oording to the substantive rights ef the partics; and to that end the following among other changes are the Board have covered a wide fleld of inquiry, and that {ts report is the re- sult of thorough study and careful de- Iiberation. “Under the law, as {t now atands, the work of the Board s finished, It is for this Legislature to determine whether the pian recommended by the Board shall be worked out in detail, and whether the draft of a bill embodying the pian ahail be submitted to the next Legislature. The work of the Foard under the Act of 1912, has been per- formed as a patriotic ice, without { pecuniary reward. If the plan ts to be carried out most of the immense | mase of detail work must neges be done by one man, and it is under.| stood that theChairman of the Board | will devote his time largely to that! portion of the work, for which he should be allowed reasonable compan: | sation. “It 1s understood that the other members of the Board will act chieny fn consultation in an advisory ca- pacity, and if the Legislature charges them with the responsiblity, that thay | are willing and prefer to continue the | service without pecuniary compensa- tlon. “I recommend that the Legislature express its approval of the report of the board, by passing @ Dill for carry- ing the report into effect, substantially along the lines of the draft of proposed bill annexed to the report." ——.——_— DASH FOR BERT AT CRMINA COURTS QUGKLY CUT SHORT William Cornell, Who Has Spent 28 Years in Prison, , Says ‘He Was “Framed.” William Cornell, under arrest for lar- ceny and on his way to @e Grand Jury room to put in a defense and also to charge @ policeman with a “frameup,” selsed an opportunity to make a dash for liberty in the Criminal Courts Building to-day. Although fifty- four years old and holding a record of having spent twenty-eight years of his life in prisons, Cornell is active and wiry. But he was headed off before he suc- ceeded in dashing down a etairway to the street floor of the building. Later he went before the Grand Jury. Detective John Houlihan arrested Cornell in a Harlem pawnahop on Dec. 20. Cornell had just pawned six pairs of trousers which had been stolen ear- ler in the day from a cloth! store at No, 2917 Third avenue wae entered with the aid of a skeleton key.

Then Cornell wrote District-Attorney Perkins that Cornell | be sent for, Houllhan was assigned to escort Corneil from the Tombs, As the pair reached the Criminal Courts Build- ing Houlthan turned to lock the door leading to the Bridge of Sighs, and at this moment Cornell made his break for Mberty. The detective sprang after him, cad in a few seconds Cornell was | tackled and downed. Gov.
