THE Law
INDICATED

The trial Of Jack Maher indicted
for running a roulette game at
the Commercial Hotel on the 28th
of last July, came to an end
Thursday evening when the jury
returned a verdict of guilty. To
say that the verdict meets with
tie unanimous approval of over
go per cent of the people of Elko
county is not putting it too
strongly. In or 'er to fully under
stand this case it is necessary to
go back to the time when open
gambling was prohibited in
Nevada ny the law passed by the
legislature in 1909. That law
went into effect on the first day of
October, 1910. At that time and
for a year or more previous there
to Jack Maher, a professional
gambler, conducted a roulette
game in Elko. When the law
went into effect, he closed his
game and left the State. After
an absence of several months, he
returned to Elko and sec. city
opened game in the Cmmercial
Hotel. He brazinely conducted
that game in violation of the law
until Sheriff Harris raided the
game on the night of July %,
1911. The sheriff's party caught
Maher. conducting the game. He
and Thompson and Paragon, who
were running a faro game, four
members of THE Ocean to Ocean"
automobile party and two
Cinnamon were arrested. All the
parties were admitted to bail that
night. The next day the members
of the automobile party left town
and have not been seen here since.
In due course of time, Maher,
Foragor, Thompson and the two
Cinnamon were indicted by the
grand jury.
On the recommendation of the
grand jury, Judge Taber employed
Curler and Martinson of Reno to
prosecute the cases as District At
torney Dysart was one of the
raiding party and one of the
principal witnesses in zthe cases.
Thompson and Foragor were tried
in January ard acuitted.
The trial of Jack Maher began
on the 9th of February before
Judge Somers of Esmeralda
county, Judge Taber having been
summoned to appear as a witness
before the United States district
court at Carson. After several
venires had been exhausted, the
following jury was accepted and

There is considerable sympathy
expressed for Mr.. Maher on the
grounds that others more guilty

and that the penalty inflicted by
the law is too severe for the
offense he committed. While we
admit that the penalty is severe,
we cannot for a moment admit

DISTRICT COURT

Wnen our report closed lhurS-
day afternoon. Judge Curler was
making the closing argument for
the prosecution in the Jack Maher
case. He closed his argument
with the demand that the jury
return a verdict of guilty as
chai ged in the indictment.
At 4:25 the ju-ors retired to
consider the case and at 5:34 they
returned verdict of guilty.
Judge Somers thanked the jurors
for their patience during the trial
and discharged them.
The defense moved that Maher
be allowed his liberty on the bond
given for his appearance for trial.
This motion Judge Somers denied
and remandeG Maher to the
custody of the sheriff.
The court then set 10 o'clock
Friday as the time for passing
sentence. Court then adjourned.
When court convened this fore
noon, Judge Curler stated that
there was some question as to
whether sentence should be i'm
posed under the old law in force
before January 1st of this year or
whether it should be imposed
under the law that went into effect
on January LIST. He asked for
time to investigate the question.
The defense joined in the re-
quest and the court continued the
time for passing sentence until
l o'clock. Court then adjourned
until that hour.
When court convened at |
o'clock, Attorney Christensen made
a plea for leniency. After which,
Judge Curler stated to the court
that the State was not vindictive
and any sentence imposed by the
court would have the approval of
the State.
In pronouncing sentence Judge
Semers complimented the jury and
spoke of the curse of gambling.
He concluded by sentencing Maher
to one year in the penitentiary
the minimum punishment fixed by
the law. Judge Somers' remarks
in passing sentence will appear to-
morrow.
After the sentence of Maher,
Judge Curler brought up the case
of Juror Street and suggested
that the officers of Elko county
make thorough examination of
the facts and, if sufficient pronf
could be had, that he be prosecuted
for perjury.
Judge Somers instructed the
district attorney to make the in.
vestigation and report TO Judge
Taber.
Judge SOmrrs then Thanked the
attorneys, officers and people for
their courteous treatment and
adjourned court:

LOCATION OF THERMOS FACTORY
President Walker Takes the Seven Acres the North End
the Pot-North End of Factory Near Mason House
Preparations for the Building

While he was here but a short time,
less than twenty hours in all, Presi
dent W. Is. Walker of the American
Ihermos Bottle company had a busy
day on Wednesday, and accomplished
much concerning the establishment of
the Thermos factory on the Mason
property.
Wednesday morning Messrs. Walker
and Visscher had a conference with
Civil Engineer S. b. Palmer concern
ing the property, a blue print having
been prepared by the latter. showing
the grades on the land. The seven
acres which he prefers for the loca-
tion of his factory was selected by
Mr.. Walker, being the seven acres
which it had been supposed he would
take which include the Mason house
and land along the railroad track at
the north end of the plot. This is
subject to the approval of the direc-
tors of the Norwich Industrial I'm
provement company and leaves a Sec
ton of the plot to the south which
extends along the railroad track for
distance of 200 to 500 feet. The fac
tory building will be about y feet
above the railroad track, and the
north end of the building will begin
at the rear of the Mason house, run
ming south a distance Of probably 800
feet.
Three Stories on Front.
Because OF the lay of the land and
the desire to overcome as much Of
the expense of grading as possible, it
is probable that the building will be
two stories high, with a basement
which will be on the west side and
extending halfway under the building.
This will make it three stories from
the railroad track and two stories on
the other side. This, of course, is not
definite, and may be entirely changed
or modified but it was thought it
would be the best arrangement be-
cause of the condition of the lot A
building of that nature. IS feet or
more wide will leave room for other
buildings to be erected on the seven
acres 1t will give better circulation
through it and be cooler in summer
and more easily heated in winter.
For the Offices.
The Mason house is to be retained
as it is, with the necessary alterations,
and will be used as the office building
Of tle company. 1t will be on the
northeast corner Of the factory, TO
which it will be attached
As to the dock, little was done. Mr..
Walker had thought that the present
wharf would be all right provided it
is put in proper repair, but it may be
found that it is not in front of the
seven acres, but rather to the north,
so that other arrangements may have
to be made regarding the docking
privileges, and a new wharf built.

Gas for the Plant.

In the afternoon President Walker
had a conference with Supt. W. F.
Bogue and President John McWilliams
of the gas and electrical commission
concerning the supply of gas for the
factory. President Walker indicated
that the quantity of gas required
would be larger than the main running
through Laurel Hill avenue will sup
ply, and that an eight-inch main will
be needed.
Will Present Statement.
Feeling anxious to take care Of all
the gas the company will want, the
officials of the commission asked that
President Walker submit to them a
statement of the quantity of gas he
will require and that a contract be
made to cover a period of years in
which the ppce can be fixed and the
commission will have something to
warrant the outlay of putting in a
new main 20 take care Of the require
ments of the company. This will give
an improved gas service in the Laurel
Hill section, where there has been in
previous Years quite little trouble
because of the various size mains
there, which vary from l 1-2 inch at
the lower end Of the avenue to 3 1-2
and &. If a new main eight inches in
diameter has to be put in, it will cost
several thousand dollars and to get
the nearest course it will probably be
laid through Talman, Spruce and Win
chester streets to Laurel Hill avenue.
Material Not Decided.
There Was a conference with the
civil engineer and architects concern
ing the type of building and the ma
terisl for construction. but no decis
ion was reached on that, but the ap-
proximate cost of tho building with
the different material will be submit
ted and they are expected to re-
turn here next week. when the matter
will probably be closed and President
Walker viii probably direct that the
plans be gotten out lie is determined
that the work shall be done by local
men as far as possible.

He spoke with the local men regard
ing the new concern which he has
been endeavoring to get to come here

but dbl not have time to go into detail

further on his next visit The small

pany manufacturing gas flatirons. 1t
