But Judge Foster Wouldn't Let Wander
berg Do 1t.

T. J. Vanderberg is the Leavenworth
young man who WAS arrested over year
ago the charge Of using the United
States mails to defraud. lie lay in Jail
over year without trial
No attention was paid to Vanderberg
by any Of the authorities until the
JOURNAL took up the case and gave it
an airing in column and a half
Soon afterwards Nanderberg was tried
and sentenced to jail for thirty days. He
served the time and was released but a
short time ago. He went to LeavenwOrth
and endeavored to start his shattered
business college again. but was once
more arrested an old charge and Is
again in the tolls.
Vanderbsrg's health was broken al
most by his long Imprisonment and at his
rearrest he was ready to give up the
fight He concluded he would plead
guilty, get a light sentence and serve il
out so he would be free from any
further charge.
IL was taken before Judge Foster last
evening and pleaded guilty
Judge Foster refused to accept the
plea after Judge Huron had stated the
case for Vanderberg. He said that if the
statement was true Nanderberg was not
guilty and should not be punished
Judge Huron said that the prisoner had
been in jail for more than year and his
health was failing and he had wished to
plead guilty in the hope Of securing a
light sentence.
Judge Foster said he would reduce his
bail so that he would not have to stay in
Jail until the next term of the district
court in April He then ordered his
bond reduced from $1,000 to S1OO.
Judge Foster was previously pretty we'll
informed on the case through the STATE
JOURNAL, and his action in this matter
was an act Of mercy and goodness os
heart, which are by no means infrequent
in Judge Fosters court.
