WEIGHT OF THE LAW.
1t Falls Heavily on Two Manhattan
Men in the Federal Court.

James NJ. Padgett and James w.
Drumm of Manhattan have found out
what it means to come in contact with
the United States. Both men have
been convicted of counterfeiting and
the ink on the verdict had hardly dried
the charge of stealing goods from a
Union Pacific freight car on the Fort
Riley military reservation.
J. H. Thompson and I. F. Seery are
being tried with Drumm and Padgett
on the charge of theft. The court room
looks like a country store. The table
in front of the jury is piled high with
cheap clothing, perfumery, crackers,
ink, pencils and numerous other artic-
les which We're stolen from the car.
