Il Was thought at the time Of the

cerning the crime Of which he was
occused. he said that while he was
not guilty. he had not Witnesses to
establish his innocence, and he knew
that the state could secure enough
evidence from other parties which
would strengthen the claim OF his
guilt. His explanation impressed
the court. He WAS convicted, how.
ever, but sentence WAS deferred and
he was allowed bis liberty until the
present term Of court, when he was
instructed to return. A motion for
. Few trial WAS made for Klbitz.
This Was allowed BY Judge Gest,
who also entered an order striking
out the cause with leave to reinstate.
This means dismissal Of the case
