CHAMBERLAIN GUILTY.
Bucket Shop Proprietor Con-
victed Of Embezzlement.

The jury in the district court found
w. L. Chamberlain guilty of embezzle-
ment- The penalty is from one to five
years in the penitentiary
The charge was made by =. B. Furry,
who claimed that he ordered Chamber
lain, who claimed to be a stock broker,
to buy him some Atchison preferred
Furry claimed that Chamberlain did not
buy the stock but kept the money and
he charged him with embezzlcment. The
defense claimed that Chamb arlain ran a
bucket shop" and never pl etended to
run anything else and that when the
market went against him he lost and
could not pay his customers who had
won. The defense will probably make a
motion for a new trial and if that is
overruled appeal to the supreme court.
In the meantime Chamberlain is in the
county jail and will not be allowed bond
until either a motion for a new trial is
sustained or the case appealed.
