Charles Wesley McCrossan, the
preacher-mining stock seller, who was
convicted by a jury in Judge Willis
suing a false prospectus regarding the
Cordillera Mining company, limited, in
August, 1907, was fined $4,000 yester-
day, and i'm default Of its payment will
be confined in the county jail at the
rate Of 81 for each day in Jail, his term
not to exceed one year.
McCrossau, after sentence was pro-
nounced said he would pay the fine
today Should he do so the amount of
treasury win be $399S, 81 being credited
to him on account of his few hours
further incarceration.
Only two of the large number of the
Cordillera company's stockholders who
have watched the McCrossan trial were
present in court when sentence was
given, and they departed Immediately
after Judge Willis concluded his re-
marks.
McCrossan apparently dreaded a
prison sentence when he entered the
court room at o'clock to hear what
disposition would be made of his case.
His face was pale and the lines about
his lips We're tightly drawn. His at
torney. Paul Schenck, made an elo-
quent plea for leniency. and Judge
Willis, i'm his statement preliminary
TO prouOuucing sentence, said he
would take advantage of the latitude
allowed by the state laws covering the
offense. which permitted him to i'm
pose a peuitcntiary sentence, a term
in the county Jail or a fine of not eX-
ceeding $1,000
Il am disposed to be lenient," said

lars are so plentiful they are given lit

STORIES CLASH
IN MURDER TRIAL
ROOMING HOUSE PROPRIETOR
ON THE STAND
HER EVIDENCE DOES NOT AGREE
WITH THAT OF LoDeER
Latter Says Willis Ernsting Took Old
Man Later Found Dead Through
the Alley TO Sixth
Street

Circumstantial evidence in an effort
to prove that Willis Ernsting was di-
rectly concerned in the death of Will
liam Salter. August 10, 1909, was intro
duced by the prosecution in Ernsting's
trial on a murder charge in Judge Will
lis court yesterday. The most impor-
tant witness of the day was Mrs. Mar
garet D. Osgood, who conducts the
rooming house at 5151a South Main
street near the rear of which Salter's
body was found.
Mrs. Osgood said she saw Ernsting
taking Salter down the rear stairway
about o'clock in the morning, return
ing to his room in about twenty min
utes. The testimony of another wit
ness, Anna Mason, apparently bore out
the statements made by Ernsting aft
er his arrest when he stated he had es-
corted Salter to Sixth street, the wit
ness testifying she saw the two men
walking through Center alley after
they LEFT the roOrning house
+. A. Jones, a police officer, was the
last witness of the day, going into de-
tails concerning conversations with
Ernsting at the city Jail following the
arrest. Throughout these conVersa-
tiOnS, he SAID, ErnSIlng uehleu any
knowledge of the incidents connected
with Salter's death The prosecution
probably will close this afternoon.
Mrs. Margaret D. Osgood, called as
the first witness yesterday, stated she
heard sounds of scuffling about l
o'clock in the morning of August 16
When she descended from her room to
the second floor, where Ernsting S
room was located, she saw Ernsting
dragging Salter through the hallway
towards the rear door.
The old man, she said, was crying,
Don't; don't do that" Ernsting she
continued, took Salter down the rear
stairway and the two men fell when
they reached the bottom. When Ern-
sting returned, Mrs. Osgood said, she
accused him of robbing the old man,
but he denied this, stating Salter had
made a lewd proposition and he COM
PEELED him to leave.
Ernsting, in his story to the police,
said he had escorted Salter to Sixth
street, and this statement was borne
oua by the testimony of Anna Mason,
a Iodeer at Mrs. Osgood's house, who
said she saw the two men walking to-
ward the end of Center alley
The trial will be resumed at $3.50
o'clock today.

BACK FEES DEMANDED BY
oLD-TlME PoSTMASTERS
LARGE Amount of Money May Be ln'
voIved In Old Claim Made on
the Government

WASHINGTON, Dec. H.-Concerted
action by a number of senators In in
PRODUCING resolutions calling for in
formation relative to amounts derived
from the rental of postoffice boxes and
registration fees between the years
1864 and 1875 has aroused considerable
interest.
Inquiry developed the fact that dur
ing those years postmasters in nearly
every state turned these fees into the
treasury but that there had been
ruling since that time that these fees
should be kept by the postmasters ID
lieu of salary.
A claim by one postmaster in the
state of washington for $500 started
the flood of resolutions, and 1t Is the
intention of the claimants to try TO
have congress enact an omnibus
measure to refund to all postmasters
the amounts paid to the government
during that period
No one seems to have. any idea how
much money will be involved.
