1T becomes necessary, therefore, to ex-
anime critically the counts which have
been referred to as counts for obtaining
money under false pretenses. in order TO
see what these counts really do charge.
When those counts are thus critically
examined 1t appears that they are not
ordinary counts for obtaining money
under false pretenses. but set up that
the defendant by various false pretenses
therein set forth obtained possession OF
the money or checks OF Miss McKeown

years in the penitentiary at Leavenworth.
Kan. The penalty. is the maximum. OF
ten years on each Of two counts of
an indictment charging embezzlement of
the funds Of the association of which
Miller was convicted June IA last.
In imposing the extreme penalty of the
Law, Justice Stafford characterized the
crime a. one deserving and calling for
ouch punishment
Beyond the tightly compressed lips
Miller gave no outward sign as he stood
during the severe arraignment of the
court and the imposition of the SEN
tence. Shaking his head, he had de-
c.ared in a firm voice that he had moth
ing to say before the laws penalty
was named.
Bail Bond Is $4,000.
Attorneys Henry E. Davis and John
T. Laskey noted an appeal from the
ruling denying a new trial. and the
court fixed the penalty of the bail bond
on appeal at $4,000. Miller was or
dered into custody pending the settle,
ment Of the bond, but was released
when George W. Ray qualified as surety
for the $4,000.
Justice Stafford, before calling on the
defendant announced that he had not
prepared a written opinion on the ques-
lions raised by the motion for a new
trial, as nothing was presented which hao
not been ruled on by him at the trlal
and he was OF the same opinion on the
law points as then
He also overruled a motion for leave
TO file a plea attacking the indictment
which charged Miller with secreting OF
destroying the books of the association
BY this plea Miller attacked the persone
of the grand jury which had indicted him
because a watchman employed by Mar
shall Palmer sat on the jury.
Before imposing sentence Justice Star
ford said: The court did not have the
beneft OF the defendants version of the
peculations at the trial and has not re-
ceived since from the defendant or his
