Kansas City. May 26.-Georgs l..
Thomas, q freight broker. and L. b.
Tasgart, q clerk working for Thomas.
In the United States district u
here, we're found guilty Of the charge
Of conspiracy to illegally give rebates
to shippers. The jury considered the
case only thirty minutes before arriv-
ing at a verdict. Attorneys for the
defendants will file a motion for a
new trial. The court will not pro.
nounce sentence against Thomas and
Taggart until the motion for a new
trial is disposed OF.
Thomas and Taggart live in New
York, and Taggart, who has been in
court only In the person of his coun-
sci, is said to be very Ill in that city.
He and Thomas have been under
bonds of $4,000 each, and the court
allowed the bonds to continue in
force until sentence is imposed.
The section of the revised statutes
under which Thomas and Taggart are
convicted provides that their punish.
ment shall be a fine of not less than
$1,000 or more than $4,000, or i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary for not
more than two years, or both fine and
imprisonment, at the discretion Of the
court.
George H. Crosby, general freight
traffic manager for the Burlington rail-
way, on trial on the same charge, was
discharged, the court sustaining a de-
murrer alleging that no evidence had
been presented to n Crosby
with a conspiracy.
Judge Mcpherson said there was
nothing in the evidence to indicate
that Crosby eve directed the payment

or that he had any knowledge Of the
transactions, but that, on the con-
trary, 1t had been testified that

ty-six reasons which are alleged to
Among other points it is alleged that
Governor Frank r. Gooding has is
sued a public manifesto declaring the
guilt Of the defendants and that he
has proof of their guilt. The fact
that Judge Smith is an appointee Of
the governor is set forth, and the al
legation that he is subject to the in
iuence of the governor is made. The
n Of drawing the grand jury in
this county is also attacked.
Nothing was accomplished beyond
submitting to Judge Smith legal
points claimed by the prosecution to
be a bar to further proceedings at
this time. Attorney Richardson, for
the defense, stated when court opened
that he he'd filed two motions, one
asking for a change of venue, accom-
panied by a%ffidavits; the other asking
that some other Judge be called in.
The matter that stayed proceedings
was a question of the right Of the
court to try the case, pending deter.

Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
a cure is obtained quickest by a proper

taking DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
