MAY FAKE CASE TO SUPREME COURT
DEFENSE DEMANDS IMMEDIATE
: COMMITMENT OF YOUTH
TO ASYLUM.
MAY TAKE CASE TO SUPREME COURT

TACOMA. Feb. LEICESTER ThOmp-
sons attorney will tomorrow or nex'
day ask the supreme court of the state
for a writ OK mandate to compel Judge
Smell to at once act on the complaint
filed by Maurice Thompson, charging
his brother in regular way with being
an insane person and asking his com
mitment to an asylum.
Chester Thompson himself swOre tC
an affidavit and motion this afternoon
demanding that he be given an imme
date trial on his brothers complaint
and demanding that he have jury
trial as provided by law. Judge Smell
refused to consider this affidavit ex-
cept in connection with the action
previously brought by the prosecution
an the defense added another excep-
ton to it's long list.
Should Chester ThompsOn's attor
neys succeed before the supreme
court. the action of the prosecution
will be set aside and Judge Smell will
nave " dppolul ttloliCi
call jury and if that body after
hearing the evidence. thinks Chester
Thompson insane at the present time
Judge Smell will have no alternative
but must send him to the asylum.
The defense this afternoon filed
bills of exception to the information OF
the prosecution and the proceeding OF
the court. Besides asking for writ
of mandate from the supreme court it
is probable that q writ of prohibition
will also be asked. this to prevent
Judge Smell from taking any further
action in the proceedings started by
the prosecution with the determination
of sending Chester Thompson to the
penitentiary.

this morning, that will win out in
the end. / may have to take the case

lieve that honest stuff can be passed
out to honest men by honest methods.
Il believe in working. not weeping,

1 hope to do, and in the sure reward
which the future holds.
