The attorney for the defensu went on to cite the caso against Siegel supposititiously as a civil action, not a criminal one, “The accusation is that on April 29, and on the 6th, 9th and 1th of May, He sald in part: 13, we presented four notes to the National Bank of Commerce for dis- unt and the discount was induced by three credit statements of thre stores. “In the indictment it is set forth at the credit statements.were made the bank as indexes of the finan- clal responsibility of Siezel and Vogel nothing in the indictmen: nakes the Simpson-Crawford ppamny and the Boston Store mov- @ factors in stating the condition the Fourteenth Street Store.

The man obtained Judgment, but later the clay learned that he done a0 by a false ment of facts. He was indicted for obtaining money under false pre- tenses, but was acquitted. He bad not obtained money on the judg- ment, the money was a remote factor in the case. He had obtained credit, maybe, but not money. “Now, Your Honor, In order that the charge against this defendant shall bold, Sears must have existed in fraud and steal. have existed at tho time of the dis- counting of the notes and also at the time the check for $684.05 was drawn. Prall says he didn't even know the check was paid. If he was in ignor- once to the evidence, but devoted a quarter-hour to Mr. Paeryt a: Coane with its reference iy anking the jury whether that was fair to the defendant. “Who is the complainant in this case?” Mr. Newton went on. “The District Attorney has said with great i that the people of the great 8 of New York are the complain- ants, But the real complainant you saw here on the stand; it was Presl- dent Alexander of the National Bank of Commerce, the second largest bank in New York. And it {s up to you to say whether Henry Siegel stole $864.06 from this bank.” When Newton closed, Mr. Stanch- fleld asked for a brief recess for conference with his colleagues. At the beginning of court he stated that of two witnesses to have been called one was in sas City and the other in Pittsburgh and could not be called, Then he made again his mo- tions of the forenoon and these were again denied. The case of the de- fense was thus closed. The Court ance of this there was no intent to steal, because if he didn't know of it bey couldn't havc known of it. In order to establish an intent to steal it must be shown that a deliber ate intention not to pay existed. But the main prop of the prosecution’ case, Oscar It, has himself sworn that he believed In the ability of the Fourteenth Street Store to pay its obligations, And we did pay more than one-third of them. How then can it ve sald that the prosecution has proved its case beyond a reasonable doubt, which means beyond a moral cer- tainty? DENIES THERE |8 ANY GROUND FOR CONSPIRACY, “Mr. Train has called attention to the alleged existence of a conspiracy in this case, There ls nothing in the indictment to show it. Prall stated that he was not conscious of any In- tent to steal or defra: This shows there was no conce! action, and nine-tenths of the testimony adduced by ine people has no place in this rial. Mr, Stanchfield then moved to strike out all the testimony of Prall and Pridday relative to acts in the ab- nce of Siegel. Assistant District Attorney Robert $. Johnson repiled to the argument and motion. He maintained that all the money the Fourteenth Street store had ot deposit in the National Bank of Com- merce had been checked out and paid and when the check to Austin Nich- ols for $684.05 came In for payment the bank depleted the discount entry by that amount, the store having no other funds with which to pay it. “Criminality,” he sald, “consists in what took place in the initial act with which this defendant is con- cerned, If he and his partner went to the bank with a false statement, fatending to get money upon it, the criminality existe therefrom. & bank employe who takes money from the aafe to play the races, may intend to pay it back from his expected win- Dings, but is he any the less guilty of larceny In rejoinder Mr. Stavichfeld sal “This case stands or falls on proposition whether when the notes in question were discounted the Fourteenth Street Store expected to pay them or if there existed a delib- erate intent never to pay.” With this statement finished, Jus- ark delivered his denial of s of the defense, The was the motion to exclude eatimony of Pratl and Pridday and the one to direct a verdict of not guilty SAID MR.

LONDON, Nov. 23—A British naval prise court to-day ordered the release of @ cargo of wheat consigned to Rotter- dam by Muir ‘ td of New York and tage of a curious conflict between the City Charter and the State Constitu- tion, When Alderman Kline suc- ceeded Mayor Gaynor upon the lat- ter’s death the Board of Aldermen chose August Ferrand, Republican, to fill Kiine’s unexpired term. Later Willlam L. Colne, also publican, ‘was chosen to fill the vacancy created by the death of .\lderman Coleman.
