was the chief suggestion in special
message submitted to the Legislature
today by Governor E. NJ. Ammons.
The message dealt entirely with the
states taxes. It's avowed purpose
was to suggest certain changes that
would result in bringing in added
revenue for state purposes.
In connection with his recon.
mendation that the manner OF aasa.i-
ment be changed TO full value of
all property, the Governor urged a
specific provision that thl mill levy
be so fixed so as not to increase the
tax returns by more than 10 per
cent of the taxes collected in l9I2
The Governor also rccommeuied

Sullivans are
Convicted by Jury
on Burglary Charge

After being out half an hour Il
jury in the district court yesterday
afternoon returned u verdict finding
william and Jerry Sullivan guilty OF
burglary. the breaking Into OF G..
and :. box car on the might OF May
80.
This case was contested with con-
siderable vigor and bitterness be-
tween counsel In his opening state
mcnt 10 the Jury and in his closing
address. Attorney +. NJ. Tipton for
tho defense scored Special officer
Jack McQuarric for what he termed
his brutal treatment of the defend
ant Jerry Sullivan on the night no
was arrested in the yards. o. II.
Dasher. associate counsel was as
strong in his criticism of the officer
whom he declared was unfit to hold
the position to which he had been
appointed by tho district attorney
Apparently the attack made upon
McQuarric by attorneys for the de-
fence acted as n boomerang. District
Attorney Hendrick severely criticized
the conduct of Judge Tipton for the
"unwarantcd abuse Perhaps no
attorney at the bar was ever the re-
cipicn, Of more caustic comment than
was Mr. Tipton. Mr.. IIcndricll de-
clared the attack upon McQuarrie
to be vicious and entirely uncalled
for. He asserted that he was sur
prised beyond measure that u lawyer
OF such long experience and stand
ing of Judge Tipton would conduct
q defense in such "A manner. IN re-
ferring to the charges made against
the special officer Mr.. Hendrick said
that the services OF man like Nc
Quarrie was needed in Las Animas
county. II want man of eypcr-
icncc. sense and integrity to break
up these criminal gangs in the coun-
ty." ~
There was no testimony save that
of Jerry sullivan himself to substan-
tiatc the charges Of brutality made
against MCQuarrie The defendant
told n rambling story and after main
tanning that he scar on his head was
caused by the blows delivered by
McQuarrie he later admitted that
the scar had been received from an
injury at the steel works in Pueblo.
The defendants denied that they had
ever been arrested before but there
was ercorcd evidence that they had
been. 'j"11
The conviction of the two defcnd-
ants came as u shock to the mother
who had been present all through
the trial. When the verdict was
read the woman burst into tears.
