People v. Welch
Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
1Opinion of the CourtBastow, J.
Appellant and one Whipple were jointly indicted charged with two counts of extortion in that they obtained $400 from one McLaughlin (1) by threatening to reveal to the police that the latter had committed certain burglaries and (2) through threats to do him bodily harm.
Welch was tried and convicted. At the opening of the trial the District Attorney moved to sever as to Whipple. Appellant’s counsel claimed surprise and asked for time to consider. Without passing upon the request the motion was granted. It does not appear that either Whipple or his attorney was then in court.
