POLICEMAN CONVICTED
Officer Carter. Who Extorted
Money From Miss Carlson,
Found Guilty.
Carriers Companion Acquitted by
the Jury..Rapid Progress
OF the Trial.

The district court at Des Moines
made rapid progress in disposing of the
criminal case brought against two
police officers for extorting money from
the Marshalltown girl, Miss Edith
Carlson. The jury returned verdict
at o'clock Thursday night, finding
John Carter guilty and acquitting
Frank Pinegar.
The trial attracted more attention
than any in the criminal division OF the
district court, in years. The Leader
says of the outcome of the case:
THE jury in the case of the state VS..
John Carter and Frank Pinegar, ex.
policemen, charged with malicious
threats to extort, returned verdict
into court at 8 o'clock last evening.
Carter was found guilty as charged
and Pinegar was acquitted.
The trial has attracted more atten-
ton than any that has come before the
criminal division of the district court
in many years. This from the fact
there has been general impression
for some time past portion or the
police officers have been disposed to
graft to greater or lesser extent, and
that this case has afforded the first
opportunity to show what methods
have been followed.
In this particular case the charge
was that Carter and Pinegar had ex-
torted 81 from girl named Edith
Carlson by threatening to lock her up
at police headquarters unless she dis
gorged.
THE offense was committed on the
night of May 2. Edith Carlson, who
lives in Marshalltown, but who hac
been previously employed in the Des
Moines Kitchen, restaurant on the
East Side, came to Des Moines from
Marshalltown a couple of days pre-
vious to the commission of the crime.
On the evening in question she went
out on an East Sixth and Ninth street
car to look for friends, and upon re-
turning to the city alighted from the
car at East Fourth and Walnut streets.
She passed Carter and Fourth street
while he was acting as policeman and
walking his beat. He followed her
north to Locust and east on Locust to
Fifth and thence to the Goldstone
hotel. Returning, he asked Patrolnar
Pinegar to accompany him, and to-
gether the officers went to The Gold
stone, and ascertaining the room to
which the Carlson woman had been
assigned. went to her room. The hotel
porter accompanied them. This was
at 10 o'clock in the evening. When Miss
Carlson opened the door they went in
side, and, closing the door, the testi-
nony was to the effort that Carter ac.
cused her of having been in machine
shop and OF being a prostitute.
After the interview in the room the
girl complained of the conduct of the
policemen to the proprietor of the ho-
tel. Captain Crewse of the police de.
partment was summoned to the hotel
and upon hearing Miss Carlson's story
Carter and Pinegar to the
hotel, where the girl identified them
and repeated her story. When asked
what they had to say they answered
that they had no reply to make. Car
ter then admitted that he had the
money and paid 1t back to Miss Carl
son."

Plans for the Future Discussee-The
 Fire in the Mine Still Burning
 Jerome Mining News: Senator ". A. Clark is in Jerome, having arriv- ed here Friday evening last for the purpose of making his annual inspec- ton of the United Verde Copper com pany's property After several unsuc- cessful attempts to get an interview with the senator a News repreSenta- tive was at last successful in catch ing him in the dining room of the Montana while he was waiting for his dinner to be served this Monday night.
 When asked if he had anything 10 give out concerning the closing of the mine and works, and how long before they would be started up, he replied that it would be several weeks before work would be commenced again When asked if those weeks meant months, he said he thought not, but that it depended entirely on the time it took to put out the fire in the mine. The fire, he said, was burning from the 500 to the 150 foot levels and from 200 to 300 feet in width. It has been bulkheadvd in and they are forcing gas upon 1t from two gener- ators. To completely extinguish the fire, twill be necessary to entirely cover it with this gas. After doing it's work the gas will be taken from the mine through the 500-foot tunnel when work can be again carried on The senator also said that the condl tion of the copper market was such that they were in no hurry about start ing up at present. There was an in creased production of 25,OO0,O0t pounds for the first six months of l9O: over the last six months of 1901. This immense production of copper vii naturally create surplus and this sur plus would force the red metal dowl to 10 cents, and, continued the sen ator. there are but one or two mine that can afford to produce copper a 10 cents per pound, and Montana doe not contain one of these"
 MT. Clark said that the report Una the Amalgamated had closed dow their Montana mines, was not correct but that they were running al aDou half their capacity.
 The senator will remain in Jerom two or three days longer.

 This, it appears to the court, should convince the ordinary mortal of his waywardness, but here you bob up again serenely charged with petty theft.
