OWENS DID NOT HAVE
A FAIR TRIAL

J. A. Owens, vice president of tho
Bank of Nampa, now defunct, was not
given a fair trial in the Seventh judi
cial district for Canyon county and the
judgment of conviction which resulted
in sentence being passed on him to
serve from six months to three years
in the State penitentiary for alleged
classification Of report to the bank
commissioner is reversed. A new trial
is ordered by the Supreme tribunal Of
this State in decision handed down
last night. Judge Ed. l.. Bryan is so
instructed.
The grounds for reversal are, there is
not sufficient competent evidence in the
record to sustain the verdict and judg.
iaent Of the lower court; the court erred
in refusing to admit testimony by
Givens in explanation of his acts and
conversation with the bank commission
er; that the court erred, in permitting
the prosecuting attorney in his argu-
meit to accuse Givens tf crime with
which he was never charged in the in
formation, and that the court erred in
admitting evidence over Owens objec.
tiOns of business transactions between
himself and he Nampa & Meridian If
rigation project.
Charges Against Banker
Givens was charged with having re-
ported to the state bank commissioner
loans and discounts $375,717.36 instead
of 1871 ,833.79 as shown by the general
ledger of the Bank Of Nampa, or a diff
ference of $3sS3.57. This amount the
State insisted, was overdrafts and
should have been SO reported. Owens
testified ~ explanation of the item that
it consisted of loans previously arranged
for and when added TO the amount that
appeared upon the general ledger as
loans and discounts totals the amount
reported to the state bank commission
er. There was also an item Of SAL
O55,S5 due from banks, as reported,
while the general ledger showed only
$34 ,592.61, difference of $6473.24
There were as well other allegations.
There were really two defendants
named in the indictment, G. f. Lore
cashier of the bank, having also been
named as defendant. He was tried, con-
victed and sentenced to serve term in
the penitentiary. After serving part
of his sentence he was pardoned. Tn
tie meantime Givens appealed from the
judgment Oh the grounds set forth
above. 1t was claimed by him that the
court erred in refusing to permit him to
testify regarding conversation with
the bank commissioner in explaining the
items on the report. He also claimed
that when addressing the jury the pro
scouting attorney said: "That the in
terest on the amount loaned out by J
A. Givens was put down in his poke,
for his own personal use.' Owens al
legged this to be prejudcial and untrue
He further claimed that no charge had
been made regarding interest.

Prayers For Peace Ordered

Passion Sunday. March 2lst is
appointed for countries outside of
Europe, by Pope Benedict XIV.
His Holiness, Benedict XIV, in
deep atfiiction at the sight of a war
which destroys thousands of young
lives, brings misery to families and
cities. and rushes f1ourishlng ma
tons to the brink Of ruin, yet bear
ing IN mind that Almighty God.
Whose perogative it is to heal by
enlistment and through pardon to
preserve, is moved by the prayers
which spring from contrite and
humble hearts. desires ardently,
that above the clang of arms, may
be heard the voice of Faith, Hole
and Charity, alone capable of weld
ing together the hearts of men IN
one mind and one spirit.
Therefore, while He eXhorts the
clergy and the faithful of the whole
world to works of modification and
plety IN expiation for the sins by
which we have called dywn upon
ourselves, the just wrath of God,
the HOLY Father has ordained that
throughout the Catholic Church,
solemn prayers shall he offered / n
order to obtain from the mercy of
Almighty God, the peace which all
desire.
For this purpose, it is hereby de-
creed that IN every Catholic Church
on Sunday. March 2lst, there shall
be celebrated special religious func-
tons. In the hope that Almighty
God may pour forth in yet greater
abundance His Divine Grace, the
Sovereign Pontiff exhorts all the
faithful to approach the Sacrament
of Penance and to receive Holy
Communion and to spend the day in
visiting and praying before the
Most Blessed Sacrament, which shall
be exposed all day and to perform.
at least, some act of modification.
Hence there will be two masses
$50 and 1890 on Sunday, March
2lst and the Devotlons will close In
the evening at 8p. m.
| urge every Catholic to heed the
call of our Pope. Benedict XIV. and
trust that on Passion Sunday, all.
with a humble and contrite heart,
not only will attend these Sacred
but will receice Holy
Communion and will spend the day
in adoring their God with the one
end in view; that the God of Mercy,
may hear u petition and grant
peace to reign in the world.

Growing Old

A little more tired at close of day,
A little less anxious to have our way
A little less ready to scold and blame
A little more care for a brothers
name.
And so we are nearing the journeys
end,
Where time and eternity meet and
blend.
A little more love for the friends of
youth,
A little less zeal for established
truth,
A little more charity in our views,
\ little less thirst for the daily news
And so we are folding our tents away
And passing in silence at close of day.
A little more leisure TO sit and dream
A little more real the things unseen,
A little nearer to those ahead,
With visions of those long loved and
dead,
And so, we r going, where all
must go,
To the place the living may never
know.

ENGLISH SHIPS
SINK DRESDEN
Last Of German Commerce Raid
ers is Sent to the Bottum

London, March l5.-"The Ores
den has been sunk; the British
are holding the Germans in their eff
forts to retake Neuve Chapelle and
Eplnette"; Russians continue in
possession of Przasnysz' these
were the headlines which attracted
the attention Of the English people
today and tonight
The announcement of the sinking
of the German cruiser Dresden came
after niChtfall. but the news spread
quickly through the theatres and
restau rants and there was much re-
joicing that this commerce raider,
whose whereabouts has been a mys-
terry since her escape after the Falk-
land Islands engagement IN Deem
Der, had at last been sent to the
bottum.
The fact that all the crew Of the
Dresden were sayed sets a new re-
cord for rescue after an action at
sea and a naval battle of five minutes
duration probably is another record.
The details furnished by the admir-
atty are scant, but apparently the
British ships were not even hit,
for no damage whatever is recorded.
In the region of Przsanysz the
great battle has not yet been fought
and what fighting there has been,
each of the cUntenders MAINTAIN is
turning in his favor. The Russians
are claiming a hard earned progress
all along the line; the Germans just
Us stoutly assert that the Russian at
tacks have been repulsed.
In the West the Germans are not
SO optimistic regarding Neuve Cha
pelle, as they omit in their official
statement any mention of the fight
ing there, although they have been
bringing up reinforcements and are
fighting desperately to retake the
ground from which they were driven
with much loss. There is no British
statement to throw light on the
present situation. but the French
war office says there has been no
change.
