REAL POCKET MONEY
A jury found Otha Lloyd of Chicago guilty of picking £3 12s 6d from Allen Dean’s pocket. Lloyd’s attorney demanded a new trial. “How could this man be guilty of stealing £3 12s 6d?” the attorney demanded, “when there was no testimony to show what kind of money was stolen?” The judge granted the request for a new trial because the State’s attorney had neglected to prove the stolen sum was real money. The law requires that the prosecutor must ask the direct question: “Was the money United States legal tender?”
