A lively tilt was indulged in between Prosecutor Wilbur A. Mott and Joseph Kraemer in Judge Martin's Court this morning over the plea of guilty entered by the latter's client, Benjamin London, indicted for the larceny of $35 worth of jewelry.
After the defendant had pleaded guilty, Kraemer, his counsel, appeared in the court and sought to have the plea changed to not guilty, saying that he had so advised his client, and that he was not notified that the man was to be pleaded.
Mr. Mott said that the plea was right, because the man had confessed the theft of the goods, and that he would be enabled to help him, whereas, if he elected to stand trial, he might be put beyond the good offices of the prosecutor. The prosecutor intimated that Kraemer sought to keep the case open for the benefit of what fees there might be, but the latter strenuously maintained that he was conducting the defense for charity.
After a few more rumbles the quarrel subsided and the plea of guilty stood.
