PRONOUNCED GUILTY
IN FEDERAL COURT
High Financier, Who Carried
His Money in Wife's Bustle,
Proved a Perjurer.

Sioux Falls, S. D., Dec. 2O.-After be.
ing out but a few hours the jury in the
perjury case against J. C. Cantonwine,
the former Armour merchant, returned

prominent points brought out in the
trial We're that Cantonwine was at one
time While in business at Armour given
commercial rating of s15O,000, but
that subsequently his credit became
impaired After his alleged robbery,
September Is, 1908. creditors filed
claims against him aggregarlng $65, 600.
He had been pushing collections hard
IN his Implement business as we'll as in
his general store, and the report Of the
robbery confirmed suspicion that he
was getting ready for a turn in high
finance. In the trial Cantonwine sought
to make his wife appear as the capital
list Of the family, and that she being
afraid Of the solidity Of the banks made
business Of secreting her money
about the house, even going SO far as
to use 10000 in currency to pack her
hustle. Cantonwine also testified that
shortly before the robbery he had sold
tracts Of land to his wife, relieving her
OF her cash and placing it in the store
safe. where 1t was stolen.
