ness for cross examination. he asked
If II was not fact that Gertz had Of
fered Cronk money II he would settle
the divorce proceedings and save his
daughters reputation.
mo" he replied, "she didn't have
much OF a reputation. She was pretty
badly spoiled"

Hollis Cornell, an employee OF Gertz
testified that he was In the shop on the
occasion OF Cronk's visit after the gun
play and heard him declare: IL carry
a gun all the time and everyone knows
| know how TO use Il. In another con-
versatlon with Cronk, the latter said Ia

During the cross examination by Mr..
Loofbourow, the woman kept smiling
and the attorney took her 10 task quite
severely several times and asked her II

the divorce, she finally became con-
fused and admitted that she had lived

renee. managing editor Of Hearsts Chi
COCA American and II. S. Garfield, a
reporter, who were sentenced recently
by Judge Hanecy to forty and thirty
days respectively In the county Jail for
contempt OF court, were discharged
from custody by Judge Dunno today.
In granting a writ OF habeas corpus to
the REALTORS the court said the case
hinged on whether the case on which
the American commented had been dis
posed OF by Judge Hanecy or was still
pending.
Judge Dunno held that the case in
question had been finally disposed Of by
Judge Hanecy when he gave his de-
oisiop from the bench. The fact that
the clerk had not entered the order
when the comment on the decision was
ppiuted and published therefore does not
show that the case was still pending.
The act Of entering the order ON record
was merely a ministerial act, Judge
Dunno said
Jddge Dunno admitted that the arti~
Giles and cartoon which Judge Hanecy
objected TO were clearly calculated TO
irtimidate and coerce the court. had tho
court not already rendered its decision.
Judge Dune admitted tnat the CARTOON
in evidence was probably libelous and
the articles possibly 50.

SHERIFF MAYLOR
HELD IN BONDS

George H. Naylor sheriff Of Salt Lake
county and keeper of the county jail,
was this morning indicted by the Fed
eral grand jury for having unlaWfully
voluntarily suffered and permitted A,
II. Curtis prisoner in the county jail,
TO escape therefrom, The warrant Of
arrest was served upon him In The Office
of U. s. Marshal Glen Miller, Mr. Nay
Tor having at once voluntarily gone up
after hearing Of the indictment He
was then escorted to the Office Of Y. s.
Commissioner Twoomey and was re-
leased from custody on $500 bonds, fur
nished by County Treasurer Dale and
Arthur Barnes,
The indictment brought In by the
grand jury stated that a. IL Curtis
who had entered plea Of guilty to the
charge Of having violated an act OF Com
gress entitled IAN act to amend certain
statutes OF the United States relating
to lotteries and for other purposes, was
serving out a sentence OF ten mouths
imprisonment and fine OF $3.50, Inn
posed In April 1901, and had not served
the entire sentence nor paid the fine I'M
posed. when on December Ind contrary
to the statutes OF the United States and
against the peace and dignity OF the
United States, he was permitted TO es-
cape.
The maximum penalty for the oifense
OF which Sheriff Naylor is indicted Is
$1,000 fine or two years Imprisonment,
or both. IL seems To be the impression
among lawyers that very light SEN
tence will be imposed by the Federal
court when the case comes up for hear
ing This is due to the impression
made by Judge Marshal's address to
the grand jury few days ago In which
he stated that there was no minimum
penalty fixed by law and that an off,
Ger SO Indicted might be released on the
payment OF only one dollar fine. Sher-
III Naylor leaves for the South tonight
on business, and II is expected that the
case will not come UP before the next
