MED
-Four reasons were cited by the
prisoner why he should be given his
freedom on bail First he asserts
that he is not guilty of the murder
or any connection with it. Secondly
he contends that he is entitled to
bail because he claims the proof
against him is not evident and that
the presumption is great. He cites
Article H.. Section 10. of the State
Constitution, in which he claims that
unless the proof is evident and the
presumption small the defendant may
be released from custody on bail
He next claims that the evidence
is only circumstaptial; and, lastly,
that even if conviction was secured
at the trial the sentence could not
be capital punishment.
In the affidavit he admits he pur-
chased a high-power rifle. He used
the gun, he asserts. five times.
while target practicing. He also
admits that the shell which was
found in the ash pit in the rear
of his home is Identical to those he
had explodide while practicing That
he took the rifle apart and distrib-
uted the sections throughout his gar
age he admits, as does he the purchas-
ing of silencer for the weapon. The
admission that he was absent from
his home at about the time the shoot

to keep the prisoner in Jail.

CONSIDERED BY DISTRICT At
ToRNEYS AND sHERiFFs AT
MEETING IN CAPITOL.
HOTEL ROOM NOT HOME
"oRY LAW ENFoRcERs" FIND
MANY TRICKY TERMS TO
LOOK OUT FOR.
Western Newspaper Union New. Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.-Interpreta of many
points Of the prohibition penalty law
were generally agreed upon Tuesday
by the district attorneys and sheriffs
at the capitol for consideration of en-.
forcement of the law when it goes
into effect Jan. /. But upon one point
OF wide interest to the public there
was divergence OF opinion. Some
held that under the law person can.
not give away to guests in his home
liquor imported into the state after
Jan. 1. Others held that an individ
ual can give such liquor to friends on
the condition that the liquor is i'm.
ported for his own personal use and
the giving of it is merely incidental.
Attorney General Farrar and many
others hold that the imported liquor
can be given away in private home
within limits determined by it's use
John Rush, district attorney of Den
yer, and others, believe that only
liquor on hand Jan. l can be given
away in the homes afterward and
that the wording of the law strictly
prohibits the giving away of imported
liquor, thus coufining it absolutely &c
the use of the importer
Under the later Interpretation q
man could give the imported liquor
to his family, that being construed al
personal use. but not to a friend who
happened to be in the house.
Provisions of the law that will un
doubtedly be surprising to the general
public were brought out in the discus
sions and generally agreed upon.
Among these were:
That, under an Interpretation of the
law by the attorney general, persons
living in hotels will be violating the
law If they keep liquor in their rooms
in the hotels. Attorney General Far
rar holds that the law, by specifically
mentioning hotels and rooming and
boarding houses. puts them outside
the classification Of private homes. Al
though a man and his wife, or sin.
gle man, make their homes in rooms
in hotels they will be violating the
law II they give away or even keep
liquor in their rooms.
Liquor cannot be kept in clubs at
all. 1t will be violation Of the law
for person to carry liquor for per
sonal use from one county to another
or from another state into Colorado
without registering the fact and the
amount with the county clerk.
Persons importing liquor as freight
will have to go to the freight houses
to get the liquor themselves, unless
the railroads install delivery services; /;
o delivery Of liquor by an agent is for
bidden
Express or other shipments deliv-
cred directly by the carrier can be re-
ceived only by the consignee in per-
son. A mans wife, son or brother
can not sign the necessary affidavit
Of receipt for him.
Whether near beers" soda pop and
other soft" drinks that contain al
cohol are intoxicating beverages and
prohibited from sale will have to be
determined as subjects of fact.
There appeared to be a preponder-
ance of opinion that persons import
ing liquor after Jan. can give the
liquor away in their homes.

Fort Yate. Base Ball Team Won From
Farm School Team Sunday by Score
of z to 3.-To Pollock Sunday

The first ball game of the season
OH home grounds was played Sun
day OH the the fair grounds dia-
mond between the Fort Yates and
the Farm school teams, and result
ed in Il score OF I to 3 in favor oi
Fort Yates.
The game would have been
close exhibition but for the first
inning in which Fort Yates secured
six hits off Joe Dog who was i'm the
box for the Farm school, and earn
ed three runs. In the next inning
Crowskin was substituted and he
held the locals down to scattering
hits and only four runs were made
during the remainder Of the game.
Crowskin had poor support and
two of the scores could be charged
to errors OH the part OF the center
fielder. Crowskin was triHe wild
and did not show up anywhere near
the form he was in last year This
may be due to lack OF practice, and
it is also said that his health has
been failing lately.
Jake White Eagle of C;lnnonball,
pitched the first four innings for
the locals following which he was
relieved by Frank Means, while
Roy Scott did the receiving behind
the bat.
The work OF tine battery through
out was above criticism and they
1 were accorded fair support. The
game showed that with a little
more practice Fort Yates will have
one of the best teams in this part
of the state.
The day was ideal and there was

Lawson was given life sentence at

his innocence. charged that he had
been made the victim of "a corporation
controlled prosecution" and alleged
that his trial had been a "travesty on
Justice" He said in part:
