TREGO BREAKS SILENCE
Blackf0Ot Editor Tells Reason For
Prosecution.

A short time ago Byrd Trego, edi-
tor of the Blackfoot Republican, was
convicted and sentenced to the state
prison for alleged running of sixteen
year-old girl inmate of his home. The
case was most bitterly fought in the
district court and then carried up to
the supreme court where the district
judge was oyerruled and a new trial
ordered. In the first trial the whole
testimony against Trego was that of
the girl and her evidence was discred-
tied in the opinion sent down by the
supreme court. During the past
months Trego has maintained a strict
silence while stoutly denying his guilt
in the matter. Now that a new trial
has been ordered, Editor Trego has
broken that silence and is openly CIV
ing a number of the reasons for the
case built up against him. A num-
Der of Blackfoot citizens were men
toned in his first article and a great
