FULL fXOAERAT|OR
FOR JUDGE THURMAN
Case is Dismissed ON Motion of
County Attorney Job
P. Lyon.

Upon the motion of County Attorney
against Judge Samuel r. Thurman.
charged with a statutory offense upon
the person of Margaret Carlson, aged
l6 years, was dismissed in the criminal
division Of the city court Thursday
morning by Judge j. NJ. Bowman. Judge
Thurman WAS arrested on a complaint
sworn TO by Probation Officer Guardcllo
Brown of the Juvenile court on March
IL last In asking for dismissal of
the case against Judge Thurman, Coun-
" Attorney Lyon said:
''ln this case | filed n complaint, as
| sometimes do, at the request Of the
juvenile court officers. Since fling that
complaint ! have made a very thorough
Independent investigation Of The char
acter of the complaining witness. the
girl upon whom the assault is charged
to have been committed. The inrcstiga-
lion has covered the girl s arrival in
Logan from Denmark. and also the time
she has lived in Salt Lake City. Since
this girl came from Denmark I find
that she has lived in the homes of a
number of highly respectable families
in Logan and latterly IN this city. but
not one of these families have Il good
word TO say for her, They are united
in saving that she is unworthy Of be
lief. and my investigation shows that
she has made similar charges against
men in other respectable familIes whsrc
she has lived and ] am thoroughly con
vinccd that the charge against Judge
Thurman is false. -
After listening 10 fine statement OF
The attorney, Judge Bowman lost no
time in declaring the case dismissed.

FRANK HOUSTON FOUND
DEAD IN A BA1HTUB
Unfortunate Man Supposed to
Have Fallen and Broken
His Neck.

Frank Houston, aged 30 years, and
for past two years waiter at the
Vienna cafe, was found dead in bath
room at the Wick roonlng house, Do
Commercial avenue, Thursday morning.
Although there was no sign OF sels-
destruction or foul play, the death IS
unusually mystifying and the police au-
thoritics and Acting Coroner STANLEY
A. Hanks were unable TO account for A.
From tho position in which the BODY
lay 1T is supposed that Houston zen
backward into tho bathtub. breaking
his neck But what caused him TO fall
backwards into the tub is the mystery
The most probable theory is that, he
was suddenly stricken with heart fall'
urc or some sort of Il fiji. Death rs
thought TO have resulted from his neck
being broken,
Houston was apparently a vigorous,
healthy man, without any allmcnt olher
than recent ear trouble and silgh11
touch of catarrh, He awokc as usual
about clock Thursday morning, and,
after n short chat with his wife, lett
tho room. telling her he would be back
immediately. He went TO the bathroom
and his wife dozed off to sleep again'
When Mrs. Houston awakened about
half an honr later she was surprised

turned. as it was getting late ior ms
time TO go to work She rushed TO
the bathroom and found that the door
was locked Fearing that something
was wrong she called to passerby IN

transom and discovered that the man M
was lying dead in the bathtnb. INC
proprietor was summoned and the dooi
forced open.
The position in. which the body lay
indicated that Mr.. Houston had failen
backwards, striking his head against
the edge of the tub. No water had beer
turned into the tub. Mrs. Houston
cannot account for the sudden death OF
her husband and is almost overcome
with grief. Before going to the bath
room, she says, they talked for some ONE
time abou. where they should go IN the
evening. Mr.. Houston finally SAID NJ
was going to take a bath and would
return presently, and with that he left
