HENRY BEST
CONVICTED OF BURGLARY

After being out about five hours. the
jury in the case of Henry Best. tried
for burglary, brought in verdict last
night about ten o'clock of guilty, with
a recommendation for leniency. Ac-
cording to reports, the jury on first
ballot stood eight TO four for convic-
ton, and the recommendation for len.
iency was a compromise. II will be
remembered that Best was accused
with Arthur Bowman of entering a
building at Mountain City and stealing
thercfrom a set OF weights for ore
scales. bowman was tried first and
the jury in his case acquitted.
This afternoon Best appeared in
court for sentence and Judge Ducker
save him an indeterminate sentence OF
not less than three nor more than five
years in state prison.
In passing sentence Judge Ducker
administered some advice to Best
which he would do we'll to heed. He
stated that II had come to the knowl-
edge of the court that the convicted
man was an eX-ConNict, and while
this would not influence the sentence
In this case, IL probably would If
convicted Of a felony a third time.
There Is a law in this state which
provides that after a man Is twice
convicted of a felony in this or an.
other state that he might be sentcnc.
ed to ten years in prison and after a
third conviction on felony charge
he might be adjudged confirmed
criminal and sentenced to life. And
IL person is three times convicted
OF misdcmeanor charges which carry
the elements of fraud or attempts TO
defraud he may be sentenced to ten
years I'm the state prison; and after
the fifth conviction on such charges.
life imprisonment may be imposed.
Aside from civil matters which will
occupy his attention today and to.
morrow. Judge Ducker will not at
tempt to try any other cases, as he is
obliged to be in Winnemucca Monday.
In twenty-five days he has tried eight
cases, two of capital offense. There
are still four cases on the calendar
which will be tried before Judge Peter
