WEBB GREEN FOUND GUILTY

Manti Sept. 16-The trial of the State
VS.. Webster Green of Mt. Pleasant.
charged with adultery, was concluded last
evening, when the jury returned a YER
dict Of guilty. II is claimed that the de-
PENDANTS attorneys viii make a motion
for a new trial. At present Mr.. Green
is in custody of the sheriff and viii pos
sibly be so until sentence or attorneys for
him can be heard as to further proceed
ings in the case.
The case is a most notorious one and
has gained considerable notOriety in this
county. especially in Mt. Pleasant, where
Mr.. Green was station agent at the D. &
r. G.. depot.
The young girl with whom the offense
was committed was a relative of the de-
PENDANT he being an uncle to her a.
the testimony was given. 1t was init
mated in the testimony that Mr.. Green
had sent the girl TO a home in Los An
geles, especially for betrayed girls, in
the hope of avoiding her testifying against
him, and it was this successful attempt
of defendant that possibly gave the de-
tense some ground 20 work on. Other
proofs brought out which We're purely
cirCumstantial had its weight upon the
jury. The defendant nor even one wit
ness was heard on the part of the de-
Tense and about all there was to be heard
from them was their objections to ques-
lions by the state which in most cases
were overruled by Judge Erickson and
exceptions noted in almost every in
stance.
A Mrs. DR.. Spencer, matron of the home
in question, was in court and testified
that a child was born to the girl with
whom improper relations had been
charged against Green, and she identified
letters sent to the girl by Green contain
ing in one letter money order, which
handwriting was identified by witnesses
who were familiar with the writing of the
former station agent.
1t can be truthfully said that District
Attorney Woods made a convincing pea
for the state, the best plea possibly which
he has ever been heard to deliver in San
pete county. and it proved effectual.
