 NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-Three high officials and a subordinate officer of the Hamburg American line were found guilty today in the federal dis trict court of having violated the laws of the United states in sending coal and other supplies to German cruisers in the south Atlartic in the first few months of the European war. The jury returned a verdict of guilty on each of two indictments.
 The specific charge against the de fendants was conspiracy to deceive and defraud the United States. The maxi mum penalty for each indictment is two years imprisonment and S10,000 Sentence was not imposed tonight and because of the late hour when the yer dict was reached. Judge Howe deferred until tomorrow morning a hearing on the formal motion to set aside the yer dict and arrest judgment which the de- fense t sure to offer. A date for pass ing. sentence then will be designated.
 In reaching it's decision, the jury is reported to have taken only one ball lot and this after several hours of dis cussion of the evidence in minute de- tail. The jury was given the cast at .2:4O o'clock this afternoon. Its fore man. George w. Palmer. announced the verdict at 1O:1O o'clock tonight, seven and one-half hours later.
 An appeal it seemed certain tonight, will be made to the federal court of appeals and in case the verdict is up held to the supreme court of the Unit ed States. In the meantime the defen- dants probably will remain at liberty under 5000 bail each as it is the pres ent intention of the government not to

FALTTN SANITY CASE
 MAY BE HEARD HERE

Before Judge Stanford Of the super for court takes up the matter of re- sentencing William Faltin to death this morning, it will be suggested that the procedure be chaniged. in order that the hearing on the condemned mans alleged sanity be held in Maricopa county. instead of in Pinal. where such a hearing has been arranged before Judge Baughn. That FaItin is subject to the authority of no court except Maricopa cOuntys Tn which he was convicted. is a conjecture that was greatly strengthened yesterday morn ing by an utterance of Chief Justice Henry D. Ross of the state supreme court during the Sims contempt hear ing. Judge Ross intimated that, with ;he expiration of the time for his exc cution. the prisoner became subject only to orders of the court Of his con viction. Apparently the order bringing the murderer here for resentencing takes precedence over that of the Pinal court, setting 9 date for the trial as to his mental condition.
 Attorney General Jones said yester- day that Faltin was brought here not so much to make him available for re- sentencing at 9:5O this morning, as to prevent his liberation under habeas corpus proceedings.
 A decidedly startling twist was dis covered in the legal tangle about Fal-

 LOSS IS HEAVY
GRepublioan A. p. Leased wirel


 BERLIN Cby wireless to Savville), Dec. 2.-The Overseas News Agency today gave out for publication the following concerning the fighting be- tween the British forces and the Turks in Mesopotamia.
 The Turkish headquarters report of December ? says the Turkish troops on the Irak front are pursuing the British in order to make their de- feat more complete.
 The British loss in the enea ee- inert from November to November 25 exceed 5000 men and officers. The soldiers. demoralizcd. left their regi- menfs and fled to neighboring points
 The British one day carried off about 250o wounded. Among the wounded is the political agent in the British headquarters, sir Komel.
 The British were unable to stop their retreat in the strongly forti- fled town of Azizi. They therefore tried to halt 15 kIometers @ g miles) southwest of this town, with their rear guards protected by monitors; but a sudden Turkish attack the Right of November 30-DecemDer forced them farther back in the diIec- ton of kut-ei-Amara, TO kilometcrs (1Oj.60 miles1 south of Bagdad.
 The Turks took Azizi and with it large stores of ViCtuals. ammunition and war material Turkish patrols captured 100 camel belonging to the British The enemy was unable to set fire even to small part of his war material The British left the personal belongings of tleir officers behind This proves the magnitude Of their defeat.

The four defendants took the verdict calmly.

Poppinghaus, tall, athletic. youngest Of the four rose to his full height and smiled.

 Defendants counsel was silent as to the verdict. Roger B. Wood. the as sistant United States district attorney. who conducted the governments case, said:
 This verdict means only one thing that the laws of the United States must be observed by citizens of all the beliserent powers; that if our laws are violated by any one Of them and the American government finds it out they will be prOseCufed

tin when it became known that after four p. m. November 26, the time set for his execution having expired, Fal- tin was legally a subject for liberation by anyone who might have asked it under habeas corpus proceedings. It was therefore, partly to retain the per son of the murderer in custody rather than in the mescUite" that Mir. Jones secured the cooperation of the Mari copa county court to bring him to Phoenix.
 The question of Faiths insanity having been raised, the subject may be in law, considered insane until proof is made of his sanity. This raises the question of Who will proceed to prove Faiths sanity?"
 On December 13 a regular jury of the Pinal county court will be called and Judge Baughn, who was here yes uerday, said that he would give the matter of the alleged insanity or Wal calendar. Before December 1G. however. the board of pardons and paroles must. and probably will recommend Kermeen for a further repTieve. He has already been reprieved to the tenth. but this was done with the understanding that Warden Sims would notify the cour.
