Famous None-Such Washer Case Ends

Washington, March 2l.-tSpeciaD
The final chapter of the famous
None-Such Clothes Washer cases
which have been on the district
court docket here for the past three
years was enacted last night by Hub
bel o. Sopher. the, alleged ring-leader
of the gang, which operated in this
part of the state, giving himself up to
Sheriff and consenting to go to Fort
Madison without resistance to serve
two years sentence at hard labor.
Tire other men, E. M. Snow, G. b.
Wright and c. j. Evans, pay stipulated
sums or forfeit bonds, and the numer-
Gus charges and cases docketed
against them are to be dismissed next
term.
In Washington County.
These men began operating in this
section about four years ago. selling
territory on their washers or pound
ers at high prices and taking mortgag-
es on homes and farms, in many cas-
es of the purchasers OF the rights. The
grand jury indicted them for conspir-
acy and other charges, and after the
state making a hard fight against
Sopher he was convicted and after
ward sentenced to the pen for two
years The case was appealed by So
pher and affirmed by the Iowa supreme
court.
Was Wealthy at One Time.
1t is the general superstition that
Sopher became immensely wealthy at
one time selling rights, but he has lost
it all in attorney fees in defending
himself against the criminal prosecu
tons. On good authority 1t is learned
that he paid his lawyers upwards oil
$4,000.
Taken to Fort Madison.

hanging over MIN. Many persons be
