this crop. Last year the entire cotton
world was fooled by the size OF that crop.

STAND TRIAL
The Court Refuses His Freedom on
the Statute of LiInfta-

MILWAUKEE,. Wis, July 20--U.
S. Commissioner Bloodgood, In the
case of Guy D. Con- and six other
prominent Milwaukee men. indicted
by the federal grand jury of Colo
RADIO in connection with the alleged
Colorado coal land conspiracy case,
has ruled that this Indictment is
not prima facie evidence of a renew
ed conspiracy" as held by the gov
ernment, "but 1t cannot be wholly
rejected because, as said here, it is
such evidence of the original con-
spiracy as may be followed with in
dependent testimony tending to show
a renewal of this original conspir-
acy." Further hearing was post
poned until July 20, in order to give
the government an opportunity to
produce testimony. The defendants
were denied their freedom on the
plea of the statute of limitations.
