EVIDENCE AGAINST
CIRCUIT IS UPHELD
Court Oyerrules Numerous Mo-
lions of Defence as ProseCus
ton Rests Case.

The trial Of Edward NJ. Grout for
perjury in connection with signing an
alleged false report on the assets OF
the Union Bank, Of which he was
president IN 1910. is half over Dis
trict Attorney Cropsey, of Brooklyn,
who has been piling up evidence
against Grout since May "a, told
County Judge Lewis yesterday that the
people had rested their case. The
defense may consume the greater part
of July.
Stephen c. Baldwin, counsel for
Grout, before outlining the defense,
occupied the greater part Of the SEES
sion yesterday afternoon moving TO
strike out much Of the peoples evil
denco thus far introduced. Judge
Lewis denied all motions.
OF major Importance was the courts
refusal 70 exclude from the record the
bank report Of March %. 1910, TO the
State Banking Department, which Is
mentioned in the indictment as false
and as having been signed and sworn to
bv Grout. Mr.. Baldwin argued that
Grout did not commit perjury in
swearing to the report because he be
lieved at the time that il was true
statement Of the banks assets.
In closing his case, District Attor-
ney Cropsey called Edward l.. Dodge,
a former DEPUTY state bank superinten-
dent who has had charge Of the Union
Bank liquidation affairs BY this wit
ness Mr.. Cropsey showed that the
bank had been running at a loss for
several months previous 10 its last
closing and that the actual loss in
CURED during the presidency Of Grout
was $278,171
As was indicated by the manner Of
Mr.. Baldwin's attacks on the prosecu-
lions evidence, the contention of Grout
will be that he had no personal knowl-
edge Of the alleged falsity of the re-

LABOR LEADER LAWSON IS
SENTENCED BY DIST JUDGE

John R. Lawson, international
board member of the United Mine
Workers of America, convicted on
May of the murder of Deputy Sher-
if John Nimmo neal Ludlow, on Oct
%, 1913, was denied a new trial by
Judge CRANKY Hillyer in the district
court Monday, against the earnest
protest of Lawsons attorney who
asked that sentence be delayed until
the supreme court could pass upon
the case. The labor leader was forth
with sentenced to Imprisonment at
hard labor for life in the state peni-
Tertiary.
1t is claimed that Judge Hillyer
was prejudiced against the defend
ant and for that reason was selected
to Try the case; that the jury was Sc
lected to railroad this man to prison;
that some of the jurors who stood
out for acquittal were forced to an
agreement-one by being told his
refused their regular meals.
1t is an unusual practice for
judge to insist upon the trial of a
cause when attorneys make so strong
and reasonable objection to his sit
ting in so important case.
When asked by the court if he

was pronounced Mr.. Lawson rose
and read lengthy statement in
which he maintained his innocence,
charged that he mad been made the
victim of corpcration-controlled
prosecution, and alleged that the
trial through which he passed had
been "travesty on justice" During
the reading of this statement Lawson
was visibly affected and faltercd
more than once. With few re-
marks to the defendant Judge Hill
yer pronounced sentence.
Attorney F. w. Clark. represent
ing Lawson, asked for and was grant
ed sixty days to file a bill of excep-
lions and thirty days stay of execu-
ton. Counsel also asked that pend
ing action on the appeal by the SUI
preme court that the convicted man
be allowed to go on bond. This the
court said could not be granted with
ont authority and the labor leader
was taken by the sheriff to the coun-
ty Jail.
