Maximum Penalty Expected

There is every reason for believing that Lacy will be given 10 years in prison, the full penalty fixed by the statutes for embezzlement. This was the opinion which was expressed on all sides as soon as Lacy was declared guilty and the past two days has more than confirmed this belief
 Lacy does not seem to be greatly per- turbed over his conviction. Apparently, he is the same Lacy who delivered him self over to the sheriff of Montgomery one month ago. Ills heart may conceal deep secrets. but he does not show it. He talks with his friends with the same abandon and freedom which characterzeu his conversations weeks ago--only he does not refer to his case, He does not talk of the past. He does not utter one word which might give the Casual observer any intimation of the mysterious story which the convicted man carries concealed in his bosom
 His attorneys had little hopes of win ming verdict in favor of Lacy in the lower courts, Since Iacy's conviction, his lawyers have not hestated to say that they did not entertain the belief that the
 
 hopes are that the appellate court Will reverse the case and remand 1t for new trial If the court of appeals does not 1t is most likely that application will Sd made to the supreme coiirt for writ of certiorari to advance the case to that court. ae4tt
 However. Lacy's attprneys do not think that course will be necessary. The records in the celebrated trial will contain voluminous mass of matter much of which will be of highly technical nature, and the defense does not hesitate to say that they believe the court of appeals will discover a number of errors in the records-errors of sufficient importance to secure d reversal of the case. s.
 The case will hc appealed to the higher court in Mns, Wien the Mont gomery county cases ~ill he called.

Houghton, Mich, March e--James Mac met and Hecla Mining Company, told the congressional Investigating committee to- day that the decrease in the percentage of copper in the ore now being mined in this district and the extreme depth at " hieh it is extracted required that every facility for reducing the cost of produc- ton be employed.
 MacNaughton was the stand for three hours as first witness for the mining companies, and when the hearing was adjourned for the day, counsel an- reuneed that his examination had hardly begun. ks.

 eThere are 756 or 500 mine bosses. Some of them might be arbitrary or dictatorial or not squars with the men. The com pany does not countenanee such treat ment"
 The witness said it was generally known among the men that they could take their grievances higher up.
