their home in Missouri. Hennepin county

ty, Ed Manning, sentenced to ninety days
in the workhouse for disorderly conduct;
Phillip Rice, sentenced to prison for life
for murder second degree, and Fred
Wescott. sentenced for three years for
forgery in second degree.

neapolis workhouse for introducing slot
machines in saloons. and made a bitter
legal fight to beat the sentence, but the
supreme court turned him down. He
tried the board of pardons once before,
but hopes to do better this time. Addl-
tional petitions in favor of the Younger
boys continue to come in to the governor.
