f|V[ 1[AR5
IN p[h

Two men were sentenced to the
penitentiary this morning by Judge
Richardson. Both received five years
and both were charged with uttering
forged checks. William Timberman,
the man with many aliases, was the
first to hear his punishment. Timber
man attempted to escape prosecution
on the grounds of insanity, but the
doctors who were appointed to inves-
tigate the case reported that his in
sanity was feigned. Once before when
Timberman was charged with forgery
he escaped punishment by being COM
mitted to the asylum at Medical Lake.
He has already served one term in
the state prison.
J. ]. Stewart, when charged with
uttering a forged check, pleaded not
guilty. He stood trial and was con-
victed after the jury had been out
about 80 minutes. Judge Richardson
thought that about five years would
be sufficient punishment for the man
who made use of bogus paper.

HR5. HARRIS To
.HAV[ 5[V[R[
OPERATION

. Judge Richardson today ordered
Mrs. Jeanette Harris to be taken to
hospital. Mrs. Harris is charged
with the murder of her grandchild.
The order was based on a motion pre-
sented by Attorney Richard Nuzum,
counsel for Mrs. Harris. DR.. J. M.
SeYnple testified that Mrs. Harris was
suffering from long standing malady
and that capital operation was
necessary. He testified that it was
impossible to perform the operation
in the county Jail.
The counsel for Mrs. Harris will
pay all the expenses for a guard while
she is in. the hospital and the ex-
penses Of the operation. Attorney
Nuzum said this morning that the
operation was very dangerous and
there was a possibility that Mrs.
Harris would not survive. In case
the operation is successful there is
little doubt but that Mrs. Harris will
be ready by September to stand trial.
