that the rates to Colorado points from

GUILT

1t was proven beyond a doubt in
the court of Justice Joseph p. Swe-
ney this afternoon that John Nc
Crea, alias John Jamison, had regis
tered illegally and fraudulently but
in ignorance of the law and at the
behest of two men.
After hearing the evidence for the
prosecution and statement made by
the badly frightened defendant, who
realizes that he is in serious pre-
dicament, and who, there is every
reason to believe, was innocent OF
the fact that he was violating the
law, Justice SweIfey announced that
he would take the case under advise
ment until tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock.
McCrea, or Jamison, was arrested
late yesterday afternoon on a war
rant sworn out by VIII A. House OF
the Good Citizenship League. The
man was put in Jail. The hearing
took place at 2 pm. today. The man
had no attorney. He did not know
what to do or how to plead. He had
no money to employ an attorney. He
said, after the complaint had been
read: II registered all right-there
