BLACK POSTPONES GRSFT TRIALS ! UNTIL SEPTEMBER TERM OF COURT

; GRANTS MOTION MADE BY DEFENDANTS' COUNSEL FOR A BILL F OF PARTICULARS, LOSING THREE MONTHS TIME-^DEFEND-ANTS ARE JOVIAL AS DISTINGUISHED ARRAY (OF LAWYERS WIN FIRST SKIRMISH IN LEGAL BATTLE — RUTHERFORD, YORK AND EUSTACE ARE FINED, ' | « ■* «

Hundreds of people from all over' ' Cape May Conntyaavho had gathered , at the Court House, expecting to hear | the sensational trials of members of the Board of Chdsen Freeholders and • prominent contractors who are alleg- > ed to have bean i&nplicated in the I $700,000 graft of county road con: struction money ^returned to their homes sorely disappointed when Supreme Court Justice Black granted the defendants motion for' a bill of particulars, and sifter imposing three sentences, postponed the trial of all other indictments until the 19th of September next. The three sentences imposed were all fines. Henry Rutherford and Charles York, both ,of Cape May ^ISty, were fined $500 and S100 re- ' spectively, while Jaihes Eustace, of Sea Isle City, -who up until -recently has been -vice-qhamnan of the Board, was fined $500. These men appeared the bar 'of .the court and -and changell their plea from not'guil- ! ty to'non vult. .Because they voluntarily changed their pleas, and saved the county the cost of prosecuting and because it was thought that the were guilty of a technical statutory violation, involving 'nfc moral turpitude on their part, they were let off with light senitlnces. Mr. York was only fine(T $100 because of his refeiit incumbency on the Board. William Cassedy, also of Cape ft^iy, changed hi* plea from not guilt • to non vult in injiictirtfnts Nos. 65. 67, 88. In arguing for a sentence against Rutherford, York and Eustace, Asst. , Attorney General William Newcoi n, | who .is in charge of the • State's foregs^ admitted ' that he j none of , these men had any criminal intent coupled with their ac . tions. —^Nevertheless" he said, | "These. men must realize that when they \tere elected to office there was a special trust and confidence reposed in them. They were the guardiahs of the public funds. The statutes in question were drafted and passed for the purpose of safeguarding the people. These statutes were flagrantly violated by the Freeholders. I would like to see the court treat these men with some lenience, but I ask that the I sentence imposed be severe enough to j set an example, and to -serve as a, Warning for all public office holders." Eustace Resigns At the conclusion of the sentence,a notice was read to the effect that James Eustace had resigned from- the Board of Freeholders. Mr. Eustace, who is 71 years old, is known as "Honest Jim" in Sea Isle City, tiis district. Could -Not Appear In the case against- John Young, a commission of lunacy will probably appointed before any Further steps . are taken. According to a physician's certificate, which was corroborated by other evidence", Mr. Y-oung has been under the care of his doctors since December 10," 1920,' suffering from

r J the effects of an apoplexy stroke j 1 which has caused partial paralysis , r and blindness, and an unclear mental i f state. J Move For ^Bill of Particulars . i > No sooner had the Attorney -Gen- • eral moved new indictments after the > f first sentences had been imposed, 1 • than Counsel for the defendants, un- ' I der the leadership of H. H. ,McCar- ' r ter, of Newark, moved that the count , ■ order the State' to furnish a Bill ef , ' Particulars- Mr. McCartei stated- - r that it was only on -last Tuesday (at 1 week before the trial) that he and his , ; associates knew what indictments . I would be moved, and that this was in- 1 • sufficient notice to give them time 1 to prepare a proper clefense; He went ^ on to say that the indictments wfre , • hazy, and not sufficiently specific, i , The ' defendants were careful to em- ' I phasize the point that Lher did not j I wish a delay but that it was una- | voidable. Mr. McCarter said: "We I want a speedy trial, but we also want I I to give our clients a fair deal. In j : order to do this, we must have a Bill : s of Particulars. The indictments are > CUrious, unusual and . intensely I I vague." Upon being asked by the 1 : judge how soon the defendants would : be ready after receiving tiie Bill of i Particulars, he deliberated a while and said "Three Days." ( ' The judge granted the motion for a ] bill of Particulars as to the indict- j ' nient in question, and the Attorney i General, Mr. Newcorn, called anotff- j : ed. The same objection was raised to . . this by defendants counsel,' who said , that they had uot even prepared a , | : defense to the extent ol reading the ; I indictment-. At this point iudgc Black remarked, with some aspcrJitv: "It seems to me that with -all j this array of counsel, seme one . should have at least read the indictl' ment.", r At another time he asked counsel i if they thought that they could pre- - pare a defense after they did get a - Bill of Particulars. I In speaking against the postponement of the trials, Mr. Newco.rh said ; that the items in the indictment suf- | '-ficientlv set forth the particulars, and ' I that the bill asked for was not neces; | • sary. That fiest official notice he received to produce certain bills and papers was 'on Monday morning at -1 1 a. in. when he and his assistants , were busy preparing for Tuesday's , trials; that the state had all their witnesses in court and the jury called, .' and it was not fair to waste their _ time by postponing the trials. But nevertheless the trials were postponed The defendants had to ( ljave a Bill of Partictulars. In the . layman's mind, the impression that i ;all things legal are necessarily ati tended with delay lias been strerigth- • ened. i It will be" interesting '-to consider : what the gro.unds far delay will be i next September. -
