FREED COAL LAND GRI B }ERS
Judge Lewis Quashed 18 Indict-
mentS at Denver.
die Holds it Not Criminal to Agree
in Advance of Entry to Sell
Land to Others.

Denver, Colin another sweeping
decision Judge Robert E. Lewis, in the
United States district court, Monday
freed 10 defendants of the charge of
illegally acquiring coal lands in Colo
rado under the dummy entryman sys-
item and said that the whole theory
<on which the government has worked
an the prosecutions is wrong.
The opinion of the court was found
ed on the case of the st. Louis peo-
pie who were members of a company
known as the Yampa Coal company
and were charged with obtaining 5000
acres of land in Routt county valued
at 100000.
Judge Lewis held that there is no
law which makes it criminal for a
citizen to agree in advance of an entry
of coal land to sell to others, whether
individuals or corporations, the land
that he might acquire.
He said that Section $40, relating
to conspiracy, was inapplicable to
these cases, as it dealt only with pen
sion matters and not with land trans
actions.
Ernest Knaebel, assistant attorney
general, said that the cases would all
be taken to the United States SUI
preme court by writ of error and
would be entered on the docket there
within 80 days.
Government agents will continue in
vestigating the alleged land frauds, it
was officially announced, until orders
are received from Washington calling
a halt.

against the possible pardoning OF its
convicted president. John E. Godding,
called for last Saturday, at X. P. hall,
was we'll attended. The hall was fill
ed even to its standing capacity.
Paul M. North, chairman Of the
Depositors Committee presided and
stated the purpose of the meeting, re-
viewing what the committee had done
in view of the Denver newspaper ru-
tion OF Governor Buchtel to make
'his friend Godding" Christmas S

asking for it. The latter was OF
course an additional Indictment to
the opposite sentiment, already rife
enough perhaps. At ali events the
signing Of the former was COM

was worth while, and they could af
ford to be magnanimous enough to
leave any further action to the con-
science of the Governor. He did not
believe the Governor would pardon

would do credit to themselves by not
pushing the spirit Of vengeance to
the extreme.
Mr.. Taylor was given a very re-

amid a silence that could be felt.

called for. The mays" had it by
large majority. Everybody present
who had any financial interest in the
broken bank, and many who didn't,
signed the petition, and a collection
to defray the expenses Of the COM
mittee to Denver, amounting to
$1,000. was taken up in the meeting,
with promises of more on the outside.
A vote of thanks was given the
owners of X. p. hall for its free use
for the meeting. and many signed the
petition as they passed out the door.
In recent interview Governor Buchtel
lis reported to have laid great stress upon
John E. Godding's eharitableness and
open-handed generosity to all churches.
but the Rocky Ford Ministerial associa-
ton indirectly contradicted this statement
BY the passing of a set Of resolutions pro-
testing against the exercise Of executive
elemsney to the convicted bank wreeksr.

Denver.-A Colorado Springs special
to the Republican Friday night says:
Another double tragedy, adding an

Colorado within the last few weeks as
a result of jealousy or domestic trou-

morning at Florissant, a small town
about thirty miles west of here on the
Colorado Midland road.
After shooting his wife twice
through the right arm with 22-caliber
Winchester repeating rifle, in a futile
attempt to kill her, E. w. Price, forty
years old, who has been employed for
several months as Colorado Midland
engineer, set fire to his own home
