taken to Henry A. Riebling, assayer
and metallurgist for C. M. Fueller at

PENDANTS are practical admissions Of
attempting to bribe the Jury in the An
derson case in the West Side criminal
court nearly two years ago. =
The three defendants who pleaded
guilty were sentenced to pay q fne of
800 each and to serve twenty-four
hours In the county Jail of the city and
county of Denver. They will also pay
the costs Of the suit. The pleas Of the
defendants were entirely unexpected.
and there were but few people in the
court room at the time.
The formslity Of reading the indict-
ment was waived by Attorney Milton
Smith. Tammen and Sadlier came for
ward and stood before the Judge. Mr..
Talbot, addressing the defendants,
said: "Mr. Tammen and Mr.. Sadlier,
you are charged with the offense Of
embracery. Are you guilty or not
guilty"
For moment Tammen hesitated.
and then with downcast eyes and a
flushed face he answered slowly but
distinctly, Guilty" Sadlier made n
similar answer. The two men were
about to walk to their seats when they
were recalled by Judge De France.

TAMMEN AND SCHRADER PLEAD
GUILTYOF TRYING TO FIX JURY

you still insist upon entering that
plea Of guilty." asked the judge. They
answered in the Affirmative. Schra-
der was thA called and he, too. en-
tered the plea Of guilty.
When Police Magistrate Thomas
was called Attorney Smith entered the
plea OF nolo contendere for him. This
was accepted by Judge De France.
The acceptance OF this plea has the
effect of diminishing the case, but 1t
may be reopened at any time by the
prosecuting attorney.
No time. was lost by Attorney Tai
bot. who at once asked the court to
pass sentence upon the defendants
who had pleaded guilty. Judge De
France had ordered Tammen and Sad
lier to stand before his desk when At
torney Smith interposed with q plea
for clemeny. He said that the men
had suffered much during the progress
Of the trial and that they had already
been punished for whatever offenss
they might have committed.
In few words Judge De France
stated that he had no personal feeling
whatever in the matter and that he
knew but one Of the defendants before
the case had been brought to him. He
sentenced Tammen and Sadlier to
serve one day in the county jail and
to pay hne OF 800 each, with the
costs of the suit. A similar sentence
was imposed upon Schrader.
The costs Of the case, exclusive of
the fees Of the special prosecutors.
will amount to from $1,000 to 1850.

tered ON the books. but we're almost

Fair Play for .am.l. shippers.

Chicago. April 26.-Judge Grosscup
has entered an ogJer in the United
States Court Of Appeals enjoining six
railroad companies from discriminat-
ing against small shippers In the west
ern territory. The decision IL espec-
tally important.as being the first under
the new Elkins Law.
The decision holds that the govern
ment has the right to bring an action
in equity to restrain railroad compan-
les from discriminating either by fur.
nishing lower rates or giving rebates
to- favored shippers. 1t further de-
clares that while each injured citizen
has right to such relief in its own
behalf. In cases like those under con.
sideration, the injured persons are SO
numerous and the injury to each is SO
infinitessimal that 1t is the duty Of the
government to act for them under the
power specially conferred by the stat
