HEALTH AND SANITATION Supreme Court Reverses Decision of Judge Greenwood. :, - Will Gustaldi, who is out on bail, awaiting his trial in thedis trict court here, charged with the murder of W. H. Palmer, be freed on account of having once been placed in jeopardy? This is the question that is being discussed pro and con by several members of the legal fraternity, since the ruling of the supreme court which holds that Judge Greenwood committed an error in discharging the jury and dis--- " risine the defendant on the technical contention that the district court did not have jurisdiction to try the case because th record of the preliminary hearing did not show that the court stenographer was appointed by the court. , After a jury had been empaneled and testimony offered, the defendant's counsel raised this point. The court sustained the objection, discharged the jury and dismissed the defendant An appeal was taken to the supreme court and the opinion the handed down holds that rulcourt grievously erred in its ing and reversed the judgment In reversing the ruling of the lower court, the supreme court holds that if there was no appointment of a reporter at the time of the preliminary hearing, that was the time when an objection should have been made by the defendant The failure to make such objection at that time, the court holds, constituted a waiver of his right to do so. The court points out that s the constitution gives the accused the right to v aive the entire proceedings in a preliminary hearing, it certainly gives him the right to waive any portion of the proceedings. The supreme court holds that where the law requires certain things to be done . for the benefit of the accused. as in this case the appointment of a reporter at the preliminary hearing, and he has waived this, it would made a farce of the law to discharge the accused upon the ground that some step had been omitted.
