A Scrip Swindler Convicted at Yank-
ton.

In the case of Russell on trial at Yankton,
for completely in the scrip frauds, the jury
rendered averdict of "guilty as charged in
the indictment" but they also rendered the
following special verdict:
We are unable to say from the evidence
beyond a reasonable doubt whether the past
ing or writing upon the certificates of de-
posts was done before or after they were ex-
ecuted and signed. ~ .... q. . a..., ... .
To the common mind this seems like
distinction without difference The
charges in the indictment was a conspiracy
to falsely make, forge and counterfeit GER
tiGcate of deposit" The defense held that
the prosecution must prove that the assign
ments were made out and pasted to the GER
tiicates before the name of Benjamin f.
Flanders was sigred to the certificates. A
good deal of arguing was done over this,
and the jury seem to have been confused
Notwithstanding conviction of Russeps
connection with the conspiracy. AS usual,
the defendants will move for a new trial.
They feel sanguine of getting it in view of
the special verdict. ..'s

North can turn attention to the political
