charged with disorderly conduct and
lettering, were non-suited today by
City Prosecutor Harry B. Miller bee

Miller asked a non-suit on ground
of the expense to the taxpayers in
taking these cases to trial of $3.50

no chance of securing a conviction.

LORIMER AND HUTTIG NEXT
Chas. B. Munday, president of the
LaSane ST. Trust and Savings bank
when it went to the wall and carried
a string of little banks to failure, will
have to spend five years in prison, I'M
less he succeeds in his attempt to
get the appellate court to reverse the
decision given by a jury at Morris
Friday night.
Munday was found guilty Of con-
spiracy in connection with the wreck
ing of the Lorimer-Munday banks.
He was given the maximum impris-
onment sentence, though an addi-
tional punishment of a fine of $4,000
was not added because the jury, it is
said, thought it would be a travesty
to put fine of $4,000 on a man who
had gotten away with perhaps mil
lions.
Where did the money go? States
Atty Hoyne, whose energy in prose-
cution resulted in Munday's speedy
convicted, asked this question all
through the trial. When the crash
came there was $2,484,000 of Lori
notwithstanding paper in wreck
ed banks. Only $4,000 of this has
been collected. The defendants say
the rest is tied up in business ven
lures.
While Munday is asking for a new
trial and preparing to take an appeal,
Hoyne is making ready for prosecu-
ton of Lorimer and Huttig, which
will probably be pulled off in January.

charges of disorderly conduct and %
on charge of lounging.
Asst City Prosecutor Roger Flah-
erty in backing up Miller's motion for
non-suit declared that it would take
year to try the cases and would con-
gest the docket so that the expense
would be enormous and that he had
examined policemen and found the
cases had no strength.
The action of Miller on the grounds
he advanced backs up The Day
Books position that convictions
could not be secured of girls thus ar
rested and that it was waste of the
taxpayers money to take the cases
to trial.

UTAH GOV. DECLARES WAR ON

Salt Lake City, Utah, Nov. 20
War against the Industrial Workers
of the World was declared by Gov.
VIM. Spry almost before the corpse
of Joseph Hi1lstrom, their leader, le-
gally executed by firing squad, had
grown cold.

True to the spirit of bravado with
which Hillstrom went fighting to his
death is his last will. 1t is in poetical
form as follows:
My kin don't need to fuss and moan,
Moss does not cling to a rolling
stone.
My body, oh, if could choose,
| would to ashes it reduce,
And let the merry breezes blow
My dust to where some flowers
grow.
Perhaps some fading flowers then
Would come to life and bloom
again.
This is my last and final will.
Good luck to all of you, Joe Hill.
