RETURNS TO PRISON
WITH LIGHTER
HEART
Convicted Bank Cashier J. A.
Erickson Says it Will Not
be So Hard for Him.

j. A. Erickson, ex-cashier Of the
Minot National bank, who has been
in Grand Forks since last Friday, left
yesterday afternoon in the custody of
Deputy Marshal Mckay for Sioux
Falls, where he will again be placed
in the federal penitentiary to serve
out his sentence imposed upon him
last year after he had pleaded guilty
to an ENLIGHTENMENT charge
While in Grand Forks Mr.. Erickson
was a guest at the Hotel Dacotah and
was allowed almost absolute freedom.
While in the hotel lobby, time and
again he was approached by friends
and old time acquaintance. All of
them expressed their belief in his in
nocence, even though he had pleaded
guilty to the charge.
Mr.. Erickson stated to friend yes
terday morning that it would not be
so hard for him to return to the peni-
tertiary now. He knew, he said, that
his friends were still with him, and
he believed that some day they would
more fully understand. Mr.. Erickson,
even though convicted, enjoys the ut
most confidence of many people in
North Dakota, and naught but SYM
pathy for him was expressed during
his stay here, which he says, was
most pleasant one.
