Contention Made Court Erred in Discharging Deliberators Be fore They Asked. NEW YORK, April 23. Donald L Persch. recently tried on a charge of lar ceny in connection with the Windsor Trust Company loan case, was admitted to bail today and, according to his coun sel, will never again have to face a court in conne'etion with the alleged offense, as the jury which tried him, they assert, was prematurely discharged. A surety company furnished the bond of $50,000 de manded. Persch was indicted for grand larceny on complaint of Matthew M. Joyce, act ing as broker for F. Augustus Heinze, who claimed that Persch and others fraudulently obtained from the Windsor Trust Company $110,000 worth of copper stock on which Heinze had borrowed $50,000. His trial a few days ago resulted in a disagreement of the jury. His counsel now contend, following a recent Supreme Court decision, that the trial justice erred in discharging the Jury without waiting for it to request its release on the ground that it could not reach a verdict, and that to retry Persch would place him in Jeopardy. A writ of habeas corpus was secured in Persch's behalf upon this point. Argu ment will be heard next Monday.
