on a political aspect the nationalists
associating with Syveton asserting that
there were threats of disclosure which
amounted to a conspiracy on the part of
the governments supporters to compel
the deputy to take his own life. This
charge does not appear to be supported
as the tragedy was clearly the result
of scandalous domestic drama.
In the course of the investigation it
developed that Mr.. Syveton had been
receiving a salary of $1,000 as secre-

CARLSON WAS CONVICTED
ON ROBBERY CHARGE

Grand Forks, N. D., Dec. I6.-The
trial of c.. A. Carlson, charged with
being implicated with Ismar Bruce in
the robbery. of sixteen men in Paddy
81 5,ush's soft drink establishment, at Nj
81. on the night of Nov. 8, resulted
serdict of guilty in the district
tG erday evening. =
sXS&ss of the case required most
of h<<h nd it was a o'clock when
the caAsssk .inally submitted and the
jury ref.N Shortly after 6 o'clock
it was announced that they had reached
a verdict, but Judge Fisk did not re-
turn to the courthouse until 7 o'clock,
when the report was made, the jury
finding Carlson guilty of robbery in the
first degree as charged in the informa-
ton. 'sta
Isnar Bruce was convicted on We'd
nesday of similar charge, and in the
trial Of the Carlson case almost the
same witnesses were called as testified in
the Bruce case.
Carlson has had his liberty once since
his arrest a few days after the robbery.
He was given a preliminary examina-
ton before Justice Mclaughlin, and
was given opportunity to tell his own
story several days after the -examina-
ton. The justice then discharged him
and Carlson went to East Grand Forks,
where he was arrested the day follow
| ing on a warrant issued at Niagara,
charging the same offense.
The penalty for robbery in the first
degree is left largely with the court
the penal code requiring. a sentence OF
not less than one year in the peniten-
tiary-and a life sentence may be i'm
posed.
