Council Bluffs
Court Will Wait
Before Deciding
Ole MarSh'S Case
Judge Mcpherson at First Determined
to Turn it Down, but With
holds Action.

Judge Smith Mcpherson of the federal
court yesterday took under advisement his
decision in the matter Of the application of
George N. Marsh and Bert r. Shores, the
two members.o of the ]. c. Mabray gang Of
swindlers who at the time of their trial in
this city last, Marsh entered pleas Of
"nolle contendre" to withdraw their pleas
and have their sentences of fifteen months
in the United States penitentiary at Fort
Leavenworth set aside.
After the application was submitted
Judge Mcpherson overruled the motion, but
consented to reconsider the matter after an
earnest request from John Lindt, attorney
for the two men.
According to Attorney Lindt his clients
and he himself had been led to believe
from conversations he had had with the
district attorney that in the event of their
pleading noble contendre" the two defend
ants would have been let off with a fine
and not given a penitentiary sentence. 1t
was on his recommendation, Mr. Lindt said.
that his clients had entered these pleas,
and he could not help but feel sense of
blame for the misunderstanding.
Colonel M. s. Temple, district attorney.
who was present at the hearing yesterday,
denied that he had ever made any ar
rangement whereby Marsh and Shores were
to escape with only fines in the event of
their pleading "nolle contendre" or guilty.
He stated that Mr.. Lindt had approached
him several times on the matter and that
he had told him that in case the judge
would consent to a fine sentence he would
not object.
Judge Mcpherson said that If any mis-
take had been made he believed it had been
in not giving every member OF the Mabray
gang the limit. He believed that Mr.. Lindt
had done well by his clients by advising
them to plead as they had done, because
by so doing he had saved them nine months
in the penitentiary, but as there appeared
to have been some misunderstanding, he
would take the matter under advisement
Luther West, alias Tom Rogers, who was
recently arrested at Webb City, No. was
| brought from Des Moines and upon his ar
raignment before Judge Mcpherson entered
a plea of guilty. Judge Mcpherson deferred
| sentence until he can take time to look
up all the circumstances of Vests alleged
connection with the Mabray gang.
West is said to have been one of the
jockeys employed by Mabray and his as
sociates. He is said to have drawn a regu-
lar salary of SIS a month for riding in the
fake races, and per cent of the money
dropped by the mikes" on these races.
