V- fWJf ?v-twx I" gvfess Hrftf&?frw 8 HUNTERS WHO WERE HUNTED (Concluded from I'mo 3.1 twin, they were approached by Dr. Kolbfus and asked If It wrtH not trtie ' tltat their cases contained game. Tlioy Biivo evnBlvo questions nnd a few de nials und sought to ridicule the Idea, but the warden Insisted that they were carrying game and demanded that the eases bo oppencd for Inspection, DBMimilED AND PUOTESTKD. They demurred nnd protested but, flnnlly, when nppcalcd to as gentlemen nnd good citizens to recognize the au thority of the law without making It necessary to- use forco they gave up their cases and the keys to them. As the warden had suspected, every pnek h'go waa Jammed fult of dead blMs, native and English pheasants pre dominating. It was contrary to the law to kill English pheasants In Pennsylvania last year. The United States law, the Lacey bill, makes It a penal offense to take out of any state any game, killed In violation of a local law of that state. The warden notified the party that they were under arrest for violation of the J,acey law, and after taking their busi ness cards and securing their word that they would enter ball before a stipulated justice of the peace at Mil ford, Pike county, allowed them to take the train for home. They sent an attorney and bondsman to Mllford a few days later, gave ball for their appearance and proceeded to prepaio a defense. The case wu set down for the Har risburg session, but at the request of the defendants, was continued to Scrnntou. All were ou hand, yesterday, and with them as leading counsel was ex-Altorney-General Kilpatrlek, of Easton, who was the head of the state law department during Governor Beaver's term, 1SS7-1S91, and who prior to that was president judge of the Third Judicial district. Attorney C. W. Bull, of Mllford, assisted him. GOVERNMENT'S SIDE. On the government's side, assisting United States Attorney S. J. M. Mc- Carrell, were Robert P. Snodgrass, of llarrlsburg, and Hon. John S. Wise, of New York, former congressman from Virginia, son of ex-Governor Harry A. Wise, of Virginia, and a valiant officer or the southern confederacy. The United States government's special rep resentative to attend the, trial is T. S. Palmer, of Washington, who for years lias been connected with the depart ment of fish and game. The flood-belated court attaches, jur ors and litigants were all on hand, yes terday, and after the grand jury had been charged and sent out, the consid eration of the Blooming Gfrove case was at once taken up. By noon-time four of the seven Indictments had been re turned true bills and the trial of the case was proceeded with. The jury was drawn, and without waiting for a return on the other three cases, the four defendants first indicted were ar raigned. These were Messrs . Smith, Kuser, Barry and Kuser. Much to the disappointment of those who were looking on, in expectation of an interesting trial, the case has gone over. The defense entered a demurrer to the indictments, and, after hearing arguments for three hours, Judge Arch bald decided to continue the case, and deliberate at leisure on the motion to quas-h the indictments. Nineteen reasons were advanced In the attack on the indictments. General Kilpatrlek spoke for nearly; two hours in presenting and elaborating on these reah.ons, and made a remarkably In teresting argument. United States At torney McCarrell, General Wise and Mr. SnodgrabS spoke In support of the indictment. ONE OF THE IlEASONS. One of the reasons assigned against the indictment was that the Lacey bill, on which it is founded, Is unconstitu tional because it attempts to impose a police regulation in a state, under the KUise of an interstate commerce regu lation, and thereby Is an invasion of state rights. In replying to this argument, General Wise ex-Confederate officer and son of a southern governor turned to General Kilpatriek and said: "Strange, in deed, are the changes made bv the whirligig of time, General Kilpatriek gives me a new hensation, The grave alarm ho voices over the consequences of the United States Invading Mate rights calls for some comment. I will now proceed to defend the United States against the accusation of Invad ing state rights." Even the added dignity Inspired by a silken gown failed to restrain the court from Joining heartily In the general lauchter. In his argument attacking the indict ment, General Kllnatilck wild that If the defendants are indictable at all, It is for shipping game out of the state without having the packages plninly marked ns to their contents, and on this count the Indictment can not pre vail, as the defendants did not com plete the act of shipment. The law only contemplates the penalizing of a con summated shipment, the actual carry ing of game out of the Htate, or the actual delivery of the same to u carrier. In the common law, the Intent to com mit an Indictable offense is, itself, in dictable. In the federal courts, how ever, Intent Is only an offVnso when particularly specified. These defend ants might have prepared to ship, and had the Intention of shipping up to the very moment of their arrest, but prep aration and intent are not a crime In this Instance, because the law does ndt specifically niako them such. AS TO STATE RIGHTS. Then Gonernl Kilpatrlek assailed the constitutionality of the Lacey law, characterizing It ns an Invasion of state rights. The state must police Its own citizens, ho went on to buy, The fed ernl government has no authority to junko police regulations for a state or to uld u state In local police regulations. The Lacey law attempts to uld In state police legislation, under the guise of Its Interstate commerce powers of legis lation, nnd In doing so, Is guilty of an Improper exercise of federal legislative liower, l The law Is also unconstitutional, ho nrgued, because It offends against the federal Wll of rights. A federal law which denies to people of New York any tight which is not dented the peo plo of Pennsylvania Is a discrimination ugnlust the people of one state In favor of those of another, and therefore un constitutional. , United States Attorney McCarrell led In the argument. In support of the in Ulctments, In a brief, but clear logical nnd Interesting speech, The Lacey law; he said, Is purely within the scope of federal legislative authority, for It Is nothing more or less than a law regit latlng Inter-state commerce In game. 'J'tat the rtsfcftqaats are b'ullty of an ' , I , .,.,,, , i . . , j j ' ' - . ',' " -'" ' -A indictable offense, even though they failed to ship the game out of the stale nnd had only prepared to carry It 'out, follows from the fact that the evasion of the provision that the pack ages containing game to bo taken out of the (Unto must bo plainly marked, Is the offense which the law pattluu larly forbids. Tito defendants were guilty of nn evasion of the law and the Indictment charges an evasion. The thing prohibited Is the concealment of the Identity of the game. IN DEFENSE OF THE LAW. In defense of the constitutionality of the Lncey law, Mr. McCarrell quoted the decision of the supremo court In tho case of Gear against Connecticut, In which It wns decided that tho state, as trustee of the people of the. Btate, who own the wild game of tho state, can regulate how It shall bo taken so that lUcan be preserved as a food supply for Its own people, eVen If such regulations discriminate against citi zens of other states. Ho also averred that there should be no question as to the power of the federal government to recognize this right In Us framing of an lnter-stato commerce regulation for tho transportation of game. In opening his argument In favor of tho Indictment, Mr. Wise said ho would like to know from the other side Just when the defendants should have been arrested. According to General Kil patrlek they were not guilty of an of fense until they had crossed tho state line with their game. After they crossed tho line, they couldn't be ar rested. After reviewing tho game laws from their very Inception and explaining that the purpose of tho Lacey law was to make It Impossible to sell game In one state out of season by representing that It came from another state, Mr. Wise entered upon an elaborate de fense of the constitutionality of the Lacey law opening with the bit of hu mor related above. "The states," he said, In dwelling up on General Kllpatrlck's alarm over the Invasion of state rights, "will never attempt secession or a new career of violence by reason of the Lacey law, for this law Is begot of the very con fession that the federal government has no state rights In the matter of regu lating hunting." Mr. Snodgrass closed for the prosecu tion with a brief treatment of7" the Pennsylvania law, the defendants are alleged, incidentally, to have violated. General Kilpatrlek in reply contend ed there was no evasion of the law any more than there was a violation of It, because the act of taking the game out of the state or delivering It to be carried out of the state had not been consummated. MORE MARINES ENLISTED. Quartette of Younp Men Sent to League Island Navy Yard. A quartette of young men were en listed at the local marine tecrultlng station, 134 Wyoming avenue, yester day, by Major G. Barnett, and sent to League Island Navy Yard, Pa. They are: James Leonard, Joseph Fultz, Francis Parson and Harry Brennan, all of this city. The marine corps is about to be in creased by this term of congress, jind for this reason many young menFirc making application to enlist, as fnerc will be plenty of promotions for young men who have a military desire, yind who can behave themselves, as the'law provides for the promotion of worthy enlisted men to second lieutenants. Marines are taught In a strict hclvnol, where discipline and duty are the watchword, and when sent to sea have a fine opportunity to see all paits of the world. An increase of pay is given when serving on land in foreign lands. The marines have good quarters and food, also libraries and all kinds of games Tor men attached to their bar racks in our navy yards. D., L. & W. Board'for Today.
