DISTRICT COURT

When court adjourned Friday
afternoon District Attorney
Dysart was still on the stand
under cross-examination.
At this forenoon's session, the
cross-examination Of Mr.. Dysart
was concluded and Deputy Sheriff
Critchley was called. He detailed
what took place on the night of
the raid substantially as detailed
by the other witnesses. He re-
manned in the room when the
others left and took an inventory of
what the room contained. There
were several chairs two stools, one
revolving chair, two check racks
and 5000 assorted checks, faro lay
out, card box, case keeper two
white ivory balls and a roulette
table complete. All were left in
the room. He remained in the
room about an hour and locked the
door when he went out. He re-
turned to the room somewhere
between one and three o'clock tn e
next day and found that all the
checks from the roulette wheel
and faro table. the case keeper,
the ivory halls, the roulette wheel,
the faro layout, and everything
from the faro table were missing.
He had never played faro but
had watched the game several
times and knew what faro lay
out is. He had played roulette
considerable but not since he lie
came deputy sheriff. Mr.. Dorsey
questioned him closely about what
he saw in the Commercial Hotel
that night during a badger fight
that was pulled off just before the
raid. Critchley stated that he
passed through from the barron
to the toilet just before the raid,
but paid no particular attention to
what was going on. He after
wards said that ne made that visit
to the hotel as scout. He was
still under crosS-examinaton when
the noon recess W as taken.
This afternoon Judge Taber
the defendants attorneys, and the
jury in charge of Deputies
Bellirger and Elmore visited the
room in the Commercial Hotel
that wac raided. The faro table
with the layout checks, ETC., miss
ing was given a place in the court
room. The discrimination OF
Deputy Critchley was completed
and he was under redirect ex-
animation by Judge Curler when
this report closed. He is the last

DIVORCE SHAMES
GOvLRNOR ODDIE

Under the heading "Divorcc
Shames Two Governors" the Sun
day New York Herald of December
10 contains an interview with
Governor Oddie at Washington, d.
c., and Governor Vesey of South
Dakota:
The interview is as follows:
Wearied by the evil eminence of
the respective states in regard to
quick divorces. Governor Tasker
L. Oddie of Nevada and Governor
Robt. s. Vesey of South Dakota
are in favor of uniform divorce
laws throughout the United States.
incidentally, they charge that Now
Workers are stimulating the d.
vorce business. Both executives
complained that throughout the
eastward trip of the governors
special they were subjected to all
sorts Of quips about Reno and
Sioux Falls.
Whenever Governor Oddie is
introduced to an easterner. the
latter usually assumes "sad
dog air, winks, thrusts his tongue
in his oh ek nudges the governor
in the ribs and Says, Nevada eh--
from Reno | suppose. Must be
pretty brisk little town. Reno, Eth,
Goverror?".
Governor Vesey says that a
large number of persons in the
east appear to believe Sioux Falls
is the capital of South Dakota.
Governor Oddie said it use to be
that Sioux Falls got all the east
erners who want to be divorced
in hurry. Then South Dakota
passed law forcing all applicants
for divorce to live in that state at
least a year prior to the filing of
applications, so low mere of the
people go to Reno where it is only
necessary to establish residence of
six months.
Divorce is not a commodity of
which Nevada is proud. AS soon
as possible we will pass law
forcing all persons who want
divorces in Nevada courts to live
there a year at least before
making application. We hope
that such a law will keep people
from travelling from the east to
sever their marriage ties. We are
ashamed of the reputation borne
by Reno.
There is no doubt that New
York city is the chief provider for
the Reno divorce courts. A great
majority Of the persons who go
there every year are from New
York.
am greatly in favor of uni
form divorce law in all states and
believe that the next conference
Of governors will settle this great
question. / think the laws
governing divorce in New York
are too strict and that those Of our
state are too lax. II concession
were made by all states there
would not be so many divorces in
a few places.

ABOUT BIG LAND SHOW

We had fine location and what
we had was sho IN off 10 the best

varieties Of apples. perhaps the

slap les were cotton, pomegranatcs,
casabas, sweet potatoes, raisins

etc. from Northern Nevada.

was sufficient to challenge the at

attention of not only Mrs.
Norcross and myself but Judge
Givens of Las Vegas and Mr.. A.
