at first hand there is ample evidence to take before

a jury.

DELEGATE JAMES: Delegate Cardin, for what purpose

4

does Delegate Cardin rise?

5

DELEGATE CARDIN: I would like to ask a question

6

of Delegate Weidemeyer.

7

DELEGATES JAMES : Do you yield?

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Yes,

DELEGATE CARDIN: In Sufferage and Elections,

10

when we came across the phrase "infamous crime," we felt

11

the word infamous is one no longer in use by the general

12

public and we suggested changing it to "serious crime."

13

Is this the typeof crime which you had in mind?

14

DELEGATE WEIDEMEYER: Infamous is a serious

15

crime and I think our legislature now is in the process

16

of redefining the statement between felonies and misdemeanors

17

and in some instances probably you have what we would call

18

an infamous crime that is now a misdemeanor but I would

19

imagine they will get that thing straightened out, but

20

"infamous," to my way of knowing, is a more or less serious,

21

very serious offense.
