ENTERS
PLEA OF GUILTY

When the United States Cour
convened this morning, District At
torney Byrne announced that the
counsel for lemon were in consulta
tion with their client and wou Id
| presently appear in court A lew
minutes later they entered and Mr.
Byrne addressing the court said
that the Government was ready to
proceed and that Mr. Peak was
the witness OH the stand.
Mr.. Richards for the prisoner
asked leave to withdraw the plea OF
not guilty and to enter a plea Of
guilty.
The court granted the leave.
Mr.. Byrne said that while he pre-
sented the eight Indictments
se parately against the prisoner
he had been Of the opinion that
counse. Tor the deiendent would
have made motion to combine all
the indictments. Ia view Of the
fact that the prisoner had entered
plea 0! guilty he asked no!le
proseQui 10 be entered In the other
seven cases.
The court ordered that nolle
prosequi be entered in the seven
cases Then Mr.. Byrne asked that
sentence be suspended In Lemon 9
case at least for the presert aud
Lemon was handed over 10 the
custody oi the Marshall.
Some time ago it was learned that
Lemon was willing to tell al! he knew
about the scheme. When he ente red
the plea Of not guilty many persons
were surprised, Now that Lemon has
pleaded guilty it is understood he
may be used as a witness against a
number OF other persons. The grand
jury last week returned indictments
against Others but the indictments
were not made public. The grand
jury will appear on Tuesday next and
District Attorney Byrne is authority
for the statement that the petit jury
will be needed to try some cases afte r
the grand jury has been in session
next week. Whether Lemon has
squealed On some people is question
that his counsel refused 70 talk
abuut the case.
The nipp!ng Of the naturalization
scheme was powerful clever move
as hundreds Of fraudulent voters were
about-to be brought into the state.
The testimony Of Peak that Lemon
told him the scheme was concocted by /
an American attorney, an ltal liam |
and Jew to have these men natur-
allied. 1t was while a number of
men were waiting, at the County
Court building to be naturalized th at
the scheme was discovered and then
the prisoner left Wilmington. After
being found in the west he escaped
from Marshal Short while hunting for
bail. He was once more located at
London, Ontario and brought back.
Lemon had vouched for a large num-
Der Of Italians both in the United
States and Superior court
District Attorney Byrne said to
reporter ''We want it distinctly un-
derstood that no fraudulent natural
ization scheme can be worked in this
district. The Government officers do
not propose TO stand for such a
thing

from Humboldt House last night and
taken to the county hospital. He was
found lying in the sagebrush near the sta

about fifty years of age and his enact

he may have been wandering on the des-

regarding his identity further than the

about two weeks ago. He says nothing,

This is not a gentle word-but when
you think how liable you are not to pur-
chase for 75c the only remedy universally
known and a remedy that has had the
largest sale of any medicine in the world
since 1868 for the cure and treatment of
Consumption and Throat and Lung trou-
bles without losing its great popularity all
these years, you will be thankful we call
ed your attention to Boschee's German
Syrup. There are so many ordinary
cough remedies made by druggists and
others that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe Coughs,
