ASK FOR ACQUITTAL
IN ALASKA FRAUD CASES

Seattle, April Limited States
District Judge Hanford has excused
the jurors in the Alaska coal land
Monday when he decides on the mo-
ton OF the defense for acquittal. For
three days lawyers have quibbled over
the question whether the coal land To-
Gators had a right to assign the
claims. The defense insists that they
did and on these grounds are attempt
ing to secure an acquittal without the
Introduction of witnesses.
Judge G.. w. Phelps today hand
ed down q decision in the Patton VS..
Humphrey case and victory rests with
neither plaintiff or defendant. This
is the case in which Mark Patton sued
w. d. Humphrey for a dissolution of
partnership and for an accounting of
the business of their Court street
barber shop since July /, 1910, at
which time Mr.. Patton withdrew from
the shop personally and started
competitive shop on Main street. When
the trial was about half over, Patton
waived his right to an accounting. BY
the decision of the judge, the partner
ship is dissolved.
Humphrey in his counter complaint
asked for $500 damages because of
his partners withdrawal from the
Court street shop and establishing
himself in competition, but this was
denied. The court, however. rules
that the defendant was entitled to the
use of the Court street property with
out rental from July l until the pres
ent date but that such property is
now to be sold and the proceeds equ-
ally divided.

PRISONER PREFERS
JAIL TO HIS WIFE
DEXTER ROBERTS REFUSES
CONDITIONAL FREEDOM
Former Pendleton Man Declares He
Would Rather Spend Year i'm Peni-
tcntiary Than be Compelled TO Live
With Wife

Dexter Roberts, former resident of
Pendleton and Umatilla county who is
well known to all the older residents
and who was sent to the penitentiary
working a bunco game was pardoned
from the penltentiary Thursday by
Governor West, told the governor that
he would rather return to the peni-
tentiary and serve out the remainder
of his sentence than to be pardoned
life with his wife.
Roberts was sentenced in May, 1909,
from Morrow county to serve four
years in prison for obtaining money
by false pretenses. He has had con-
siderable difficulty with his eyes and
his wife has been intervening for a
pardon which the governor decided to
grant.
"In granting you this pardon I
want you to understand that it is not
so much for you as for your wife,
Governor West said to Roberts. "Now
when you leave l want you to so back
to the farm and stay there with your
wife and stop causing trouble
''Do you mean that / have to go
back there and live with her the rest
of my life or for just the year l have
left to serve at the penitentiary ?"
asked Roberts. "If 1t is for life /
would rather go back to the peniten-
tiary and finish my term
He was assured that the pardon
did not specify that he must live with
his wife, but the governor advised
him to go to the farm and repay his
wife for her efforts in his behalf Rob-
erts then walked away with the par
don and with Mrs. Roberts.
