HOLDS MAN'S GUILT
SAME AS WOMAN
In reversing a conviction for ir
moral conduct in a Magistrate's Cou
Judge William H. Wadhams of Gei
eral Sessions, New York, in a decisic
made public yesterday, declared thi
the man was equally guilty with tl
woman in such a case and that tl
time had comcwhen It would no lonj
er be permitted to let the man g
and arest the woman.
Judge Wadham's decision was i
the case of Beatrice Edwards, wh
lives in Manhatten Avenue.She wj
found guilty last April before Magi
trate McGeehan and placed on pr<
bation. The woman denied the stori<
told by the police and said that st
was the victim of a conspiracy. Ju
tice Wadhams dismissed the con
plaint and ordered the defendent di:
charged. .
"I am sure that it has been th
custom to arrest a woman- and U
the man go," said Judge Wadham:
but the time has come when the cu:
torn cannot longer be nermitted t
continue. Men and women in sue
cases are equany guilty ana xne ma
should be arrested and held fc
trial with the woman. The law
clear and the duty of the police is t
act in pursuance of the law.
"The practical application of th
law as heretofore enforced is an ui
just discrimination against women i
the matter of an offense which in i1
very nature requires the participi
tion of men. Is the public purpose n<
to enforce the law? If so, it is
hypocrisy to permit the law to r<
main upon the statute books.
As long as the law exists it mui
be impartially administered withoi
* sex discrimination."
Judge Wadhams throughout his di
cision insists as he has done in oth<
decisions recently that policemen ar
Magistrates must be guided by tl
amendment to the vagrancy law pas
ed by the Legislature last May whi(
provides that the man involved wil
the woman in a violation of the la
is equally guilty with the woman.
