An old charge Of grand larceny
against Isaac Kingery was dismissed
Monday. The Indictment was against
him and his brother Henry, and was
found by the grand jury when Isaac
was but IL years OF age, Newton
Rodgers was the victim and complain
ing witness. On this charge Isaac was
re-arrested about the time of the
Kingery-Delnor jail delivery. \ short
time ago a petition, praying for the
dismissal Of the charge against Isaac,
was presented to Judge Showers and
County Attorney Galloway. The Pc
tition was signed by Ga leading citi-
zen of Ruby valley, including Newton
Rodgers. The petitioners represented
that they were the neighbors of Isaac
Kingery, whom they knew to be the
industrious head of a family. enjoying
the confidence and good will of his
neighbors. They also represented that
the further prosecution of the case
would be in the nature Of a persecu-
ton and in conclusion asked that the
charge against him be dismissed.
When the petition was being con-
sidered the county attorney stated.
that in his opinion there had never
been sufficient evidence to convict
Isaac, and at the time the deed was
committed Isaac, who was a boy, was
largely Influenced by his elder brother.
He therefore asked the courts permits
sion to enter a nolle prosecute, which
was granted and Kingery who ap-
peared in court on his own %recogniz-
ance, was discharged.
