Ntw Yokk, Fob. 28.—The foreman of
the grand jury considering the Uonld-
Sage case to-day asked Judge Cowiu in
regard to the statute of limitations as
applying to section fill of the penal
code: ‘‘Does the statute begin to run in
relation to the withholding from the date
tho crime was committed or from
the discovery of tho fuels?" The judge
replied in substance: "Ho far as section
241 is concerned the crime against that
section iu commoted when tim missap
propriations occur. Jn my judgment
the statute of limitations commences
to run from that date. You have
to determine whether the fraudulent
misappropriations actually took place
within five ycais. There is one exoep
tion to this rule. If ut the time of its
occurrence the trustee who is charged
with it was residing out of tho jurisdic
tion ot tho court, then tho statute does
not begin to run nntil ho comes within
jurisdiction.”
The jury will report definitely on the
case tomorrow, but is generally consider
ed a foregone conclusion that no indict
ment will bo handed it.
