Last Thursday was busy day in
Justice Wright's court, there being
seven cases disposed Of and all result
ting in acquittals. X. d. Allison,
VIM. r. Haddock. Bert Banker, +. b.
Horton, F.. l.. Burlingame and G. l..
Sutherland furnished six of these.
The men were discovered in box car
on freight train No. 50 on Wednesday
night and run in. The first four nam
ed were charged with trespassing on
railroad property, but as all appeared
to be honest workmen in search of en-
ployment, they were allowed to 20
with reprimand. Burlingame and
Sutherland were charged by Conductor
Phillips with a more serious otfense,
the breaking of the seal Ond the end
door of the car, which, under the stat
utes. constitutes a felony. The defen-
dents conducted their own case and by
the testimony of the two brakemen who
saw them on the train. were able to
prove that the seal was broken before
they obtained access to the car in ques-
ton. Both were young, one was we'll
dressed and the other appeared to be
laboring man. Although they might
have been held technically on a charge
eff trespass, the court decided to set
them free and they were discharged.
