Prominent Venezuelan Gentleman Kill Reckless Speeding of an Automobile by Mr. Gurney of British Embassy Leads to Double Fine by Country Judge Ignorant of International Law—The Statute In the Case. The prosecution took all morning in a recital of its case, a review made by District Attorney .Jones. Besides some court house clerks, who verified certain dates, Rev. Mr. Fletcher was the only witness called. The story told by the prosecution was that in May, 1902, Quigley, then constable in the Ninth ward, received from James Lane, who was acting for Mr. Fletcher, notices of certain violations of the liquor law in his ward, together with names of the witnesses In each case, -and instructions to return the same on constables' return day, then near at hand. When Constable Quigley made his return he failed to name the cases mentioned in the notices and Mr. Fletcher and Jiis attorney, who were present, brought the malted' to the attention of court, Judge Ferris presiding. On examination, the constable admitted having received the notices and names of witnesses, but did not have the same with him. He was then directed by the court to proceed and make a return according to law. This, the prosecution alleged, Quigley failed to CJp. When the October term came around Quigley again failed to return the places in question and he was handed a copy of the notice that had been served on him with a list of violators. He still failed to make the return and the matter was brought before Judge Lynch, who presided. He was again ordered to bring the indictment before the grand jury, and subpoena the witnesses in the case. Instead of makiJig the return he subpoenaed Mr. Fletcher and the saloon keepers mentioned in the notice.
