Meaning of "Defraud."

Mr.. WaldrOn based his argument Oh
the meaning of the word ''defraud" as
found in section $40 of the United States
statutes under which the indictments
were brought. The exact words of the
statute are given above. The Denver
man contended that the construction
sought TO be placed upon the word was
too broad to apply to criminal actions,
although he admitted that the govern
ment had a good case in equity. The mere
fact that the defendants joined in an at
tempt TO secure 1000 acres of coal land
in Emery county by having friends and
relatives file upon it. and then surren-
der the title to them, and that it was
their intention to dispose of this land to
the Utah Fuel company and the Pleas
ant Valley Coal company. was not suffi-
cient to warrant criminal proceeding
under this statute being instituted con-
tended the attorney.

Courts Too Powerful.

Conspiracy TO defTaud must be con-
strued differently in court of equity
and in a criminal court he said THE
word defTaud in the statutes must be con-
strued too literally to apply to this case
By constituting ii to cover the facts cited
in the indictment, the court would be
declaring the principle that the discre-
ton rests with it just where to draw the
line, and that in one case II can conStrue
the word as it would be construed by
chancellor, and in another as covering
a crime.
The supreme court says that this is
not the business of the judiciary. but the
business of congress. and that the leCis-
lative body should so define crimes that
the common iayman can understand the
construction of the statutory terms 1t
is not the business of congress- however
to make a definition so broad that il is
within the power of the Judiciary to an
ply it as 1t will Such discretion vested
in the judiciary is against the spirit of
the republican form of government and a
peril and a menace.
THE word defTaud here is used too
broadly and the defendants are entitled
to the narrowest construction which can
be placed upon it.
IF the word is made applicable in its
criminal sense to the present set of facts
it will he because such a meaning has
been read into it by the court and the
supreme court has often decided that in
criminal case the judge has not the
power to read something into the mean
ing of word by construction

RONEY'S BOYS.

The high class of music which
dominates the programs of the
"Roney's Boys" concerts is the
wonder of musicians, and the de-
light of lovers of the best in music.
Educators everywhere, who are
interested in having the highest
ideals presented for the instruc-
ton and cultivation of a correct
musical taste in young people,
welcome the presentation of such
standard music as an object les
son and an inspiration. The best
is none to good for the American
people, and the steady growth in
musical taste SO noticeable all over
the country is gratifying proof of
the wisdom of raising the standard
of the programs every year.
"Roney's Boys" Concert company
stands for the highest order of
music and the most finished and
artistic Interpretation possible to
attain with talented boys. 1t has
nothing in common with the mus
ic of the vaudeville stage or the
trashy illusions of the music halls.
1t has carved out niche of its
own, stands in a class by itself in
which there is no second, and
yields to no considerations of
policy" to lower its musical
standard and it's prestige as pub
lie educator in its line of work.
There is absolutely no company
like it or remotely approaching it,
in either America or Europe. The
various costumes are rich, appro.
pirate, and historically interest,"
ing. The boys are from different
states and are not related to Mr..
Roney.
The fame of "Roney's Boys" is
now universal, and so thoroughly
established in every state and To-
cality, near and remote, that it
was deemed unnecessary to re-
produce any of the thousands OF
enthusiastic press comments which
we have on file.

Obituary..

Ellemor Emerson, (NEE) David
son, was born in Amagh county,
Ireland, Oct. II, 1928, died at her
home near Mi iidletown, Montgom-
cry county, Missouri, March 26,
1907, was married to Newton
Emerson Feb. 2, 1857, at st.
Gainesville, Belmont Co., Ohio.
To this union was born six chill
dren, two sons and four daughters.
The sons, Johu and William bav-
ing died in early manhood. The
husband and four daughters, Mrs.
Joseph Beloat, Mrs. Roz Berger
and Misses Sarah and Sallie
Emerson survive her.
Funeral services were held from
the family residence by Rev. A.
j. Cutrell, of the M. E. church.
She became a member of that
church early in life while yet in
Ireland.
Her remains were laid to rest in
the Middletown cemetery, fol-
lowed by a large concourse of
sorrowing friends and neighbors.
Mrs. Emerson was of family of
nine children. The only ones
now living is a brother in Ireland
and a sister in Australia. We can
now say we have lost a good
neighbor. To know her was to
love her. She was kind and
loving mother, friend in sickness
or in health. To this sorrowing
family we extend our most sincere
coincidence. w. M.
