his liberty Besides this accumulation of
evidence on Thielman's character the de-
Tense had little to show.
The Government was also handicapped in
not having had access to the accounts of the
insurance company until they were pre-
scented in court, and then Judge Morrow re-
fused a continuance for the purpose of in
vestigating the additional Information they
brought at hand. There were also presented
in court the record of twelve memberships
in the society and many circular advertise
mentS.
WHAT TIE RECORDS SHOW.
OF the twelve memberships the records
show that the first five were issued to Thiel-
man. The second five were isued to n.
Ames, who afterward sold them to Thiel-
man for SIS, that is the accounts show this,
but whether they were ever issued to Ames
or ever sold, or whether any mOn-y con-
sideration ever entered into the transaction
remain in as great Il cloud OF mystery as
ever Certificates IL and Is were issued to
l.. Drilling. Certificate u went to Ames
and IA to Thielman.
These certificates brought Ihelman
S13, 900, which was paid to him as Secretary,
and which he paid over TO another OF his
spacious pockets as Treasurer Of the society.
Such is the result OF fourteen certificates
out of thirty alleged by Thielman to have
been paid, and upon this evidence the jury
returned to court, after an hours delibera-
ton, with the verdict of guilty as charged.
What the other seventeen certificates will
show is a matter of much speculation,
especially since the Government is thinking
of prosecuting others OF the officers and
Board of Directors of the society. The fol-
lowing is a complete list of the holders of
these certificates and all will be closely
questioned by Postoffice Inspector Sey-

THIELMAN ORDERED INTO CUSTODY.
When the foreman of the jury pronounced
the word guilty" Thielman blanched Wis
IDLY. Assistant District Attorney Shurtletf
asked that the prisoner be remanded into
the hands of the United States Marshal.
to which Thielman's attorney Van Ness,
objected, and asked that he be allowed to
depart Oh the bonds he had before convic-
ton.
Shurtleff resisted, when Van Ness re-
marked that District Attorney Garter
should be in the COURTROOM. Garter was
sent for and he made further protest
against allowing man convicted of felony
to 60 about on bonds, to which Judge Nor
row responded by ordering Thielman into
custody, and he was taken to tine County
Jail.
