nothing to say about it,

FIVE YEARS IN PRISON
Edmund Bersch Convicted of
Pe[jury--He Has Yet to Face
Two Charges of Bribery.

st. Louis, Mo-, Oct. 31.-Edmund
Bersch, former member OF the house
of delegates, was today found guilty
of perjury in his testimony before the
grand jury as to the $4,000 Doodle fund
raised to secure the passage Of the
suburban franchise BILL and given
five years in the penitentiary.
The defense rested about noon and
after brief arguments the case was
given to the jury, which debated but a
few minutes.
Ed Butler, bondsman for Bersch,
failed TO appear after the conviction Of
the defendant to sign a new bond and
Bersch was committed to Jail.
The grand jury returned three in
dictments against Bersch, two for
bribery and one for perjury, the one on
which he has just been convicted. Cir
cult Attorney Folk win ask that the
sentence be deferred and Bersch viii be
brought to trial on the other charges
as rapidly as possible.
The case in many respects was the
most remarkable of any ever tried in
St Louis. After being defeated in all
of their attempts to gain time before
the trial actually began, counsel for
the defense changed their tactics and
practically made no defense or argu-
ment
