CASE RESTS ON APPEAL Verdict Returned in Less Than Five Iinutcs; Confessed Thieves on Stand. ..After deliberating less than five minutes, a jury in tne court of Circuit Judge Belt yesterday found Alex Goldstein, second-hand dealer. 28'A North Third street, guilty of receiving- stolen property, or, in criminal parlance, of being a "fence." No testi mony was put on by the defense, the attorneys for Goldstein relying on an appeal to the supreme court on a tech nicality argued before Presiding Judge McCourt Monday and decided adversely to their interests. The specific crime charged against Goldstein was that of receiving 12 suits of clothes, four overcoats and several pairs of shoes stolen from A. C. Peel. 101 East Sixteenth Btreet. for which the confessed thieves testified that they were paid $40 by Goldstein. Alex Goldstein, with his brother, Harry Goldstein, his brother-in-law. Nathan Karl, and father-in-law, Will iam Jacobsen, all owners of north end second-hand stores, were indicted by the grand jury the last day of April. When trftil of Alex Goldstein was called on the first court day of June, the attorneys for the defense asked Presiding Judge McCourt to dismiss the indictment on the ground that the law requires a case to be tried in the term of court following the one in which the indictment was returned, which would have been May. Judge McCourt ruled that the law had not so befn interpreted by recent su ireme court decisions and appeal was taken. Cm Rctitn oa Appeal, . To maintain the standing of their appeal. Attorneys Morris Y. Goldstein and Dan Powers asserted that they would offer no evidence at the trial and would not argue the case. They did. however, cross-examine witnesses of the prosecution. Testimony for the state sped to .rapid close yesterday morning. Eugene Kelly, "pal" of Harry Gardner, sub stantiated all the statements Gardner had made on the witness stand the day before concernnig dealings with the alleged "fence," Alex Goldstein but the name of Harry Goldstein was not mentioned. Kelly insisted that he had a working agreement with Goldstein by which stolen goods were to be taken in and the thieves pro tected. Though named in a separate indict ment, Nathan Karl was connected with the receiving of stolen property in the case at trial by testimony of police detectives. Inspector Phillips identified jewelry which Kelly and Gardner had admitted stealing from Harley Morton, jeweler, and disposing of to Goldstein, as seized in the shop of Nathan Karl, 27 North Third street. Inspector Identifies Shoe. Inspector Goltz asserted that the hoes in evidence, as stolen from-; the store of J. H. Garrett; at Hillboro and soid to Goldstein, were found by detectives in Karl's store. He fur--ther said that after the arrest Karl, "In the presence of Alex Goldstein, said that Goldstein had brought him the property in question, but that Gold stein refused to comment on the mat ter until he had consulted his lawyer. Though a strong fight was made y" Earl F. Bernard, deputy district attorney, to get in evidence that Gold n iein had failed to make a report of :, the stolen property purchased, as re Quired by city ordinance, Judge Belt ..'"'refused to allow it in. Case Agalnat Brother Diminaed. On motion of attorneys for the "defense the case was dismissed as to Harry Goldstein. brother, of Alex Goldstein, no evidence having been produced to connect him with the affair According to the district at torney's office, Harry Goldstein's name was erroneously connected with the case by the grand jury, another indictment being out against him..
