GORDON HAS TILL MONDAY
To FURNISH BOND

Two additional indictments re-
turned against Judge Gordon
charge him with first the embezzle-
ment of $4,000 in the Stevens
county tax case, and in the second
with the issuance of personal
check on the Traders National
bank of Spokane for $4,000 when
he had no money on deposit in the
bank to meet this check.
The suit involves the Stevens
county taxes for 1907, which the
Great Northern considered excess
sive. Suit against Stevens county
to contest the tax payment was
filed at Colville by Judge Gordon
In 1908, in which case the law re-
quires a tender of the amount held
to be correctly due. 1t Is charged
that the amount of this tender,
$4,000, was given to Judge Gordon
by the Great Northern and that he,
instead of turning the money over
to Stevens county, applied the
funds to his own use and gave his
personal check for the amount, the
check at the time being without
funds to back 1t up.
There were two Great Northern
Stevens county tax cases. in the
first of which, involving the taxes
of 1906, tender of $4,000 in cash
was made by Judge Gordon, the
funds having been supplied by the
company. This case has since
been settled.
The case over the 1907 taxes was
to have been called for trial at
Colville this week before Judge E.
IL. Sullivan of Spokane, but the alb.
sence of the check given by Judge
Gordon as a tender caused the
postponement of the matter until
May 5.
This check is still in the posses.
sion of the Spokane county grand
jury, which will resist all efforts
to have 1t returned to Stevens
county until after the trial of the
two criminal actions instituted
against Judge Gordon in connec
ton with the transaction.
In the meantime Charles Adams
treasurer Of Stevens county, is Sc
curing afiidavits to be used in an
effort to get back the Gordon
! check, which Is one of the record:

Judge M. ]. Gordon. former at
torney for the Great Northern,
voluntarily appeared before the
court this morning and accepted
service in the two indictments re-
turned against him yesterday aft
ernoon in the Stevens county tax
cases. One indictment charges
the embezzlement of $2S,57S,43, the
other the issuance of a check for
this amount by Gordon to Stevens
county.
Judge Huneke referred the mat
ter of the arrangement of the bond
in these cases to Judge Hinkle,
who took the matter up at IL a.
m. p. C. Sullivan and Frank 7.
Post appeared as counsel for
Judge Gordon and asked the court
that on account of Gordon already
being under bond of $4,000 in the
Sparrow case that he be permitted
to go on his own recognizance un-
til Monday. This request was made
on the ground that Saturday after
noon the Traders bank, which had
bonded Gordon in the first case,
was closed and 1t would be incon-
venient to arrange the bond I'M
til Monday.
Prosecutor Pugh said that he did
not want to appear unreasonable
and would consent to this arrange
ment, provided it met with the APP
prevail of the court. Judge Hinkle
gave his consent and the question
OF bond In the two cases went
over until Monday.
1t was also agreed that bond in
any other indictments that might
be returned during the day against
Gordon be continued until Mon
day.

Gordon, asked that Judge Gordon
be Immediately arraigned on the
indictment In the Sparrow case.
Prosecutor Pugh objected on the
ground that he was engaged In the
preparation OF matters by order OF
Judge Huneke that would consume
the balance Of the day.
1t was agreed that Gordon
should be arraigned Monday and
that his trial in the Sparrow case
will be set at that time.
