Man Who Assaulted Many County Off
eiaIs Must Serve Five.Year Sentence.
Des Moines, Sept 25-D. T. Blodgett
will be taken at once to Anamora to
serve a term Of five Years for forgery.
The last chance of escaping term in
the penitentiary was exhausted when
the supreme court denied the petition
for rehearing of his cause. Blodgett
has been much in courts in recent
years. He was one time also candi-
date for the republican nomination for
congressman in the seventh district
Blodgett's defense to the charge Of
forgery was that he had been tried
for the offense once before in Boone
county and acquitted and he charged
that the offense was the same as that
for which he was tried and convicted
in Polk county. He appealed to the
supreme court which affirmed the de-
cision of the lower court and then he
asked for a re-hearing which was
argued yesterday and denied today
When the supreme court affirmed
the decision of the lower court con-
victing him of forgery Judge Weaver
dissented from the opinion. Follow
ing that Blodgett filed suit in the
district court asking $4,000 damages
and restraining order against the
five judges who decided against him
in the case.
