companied by his attorney, Robert Treat
Whitehouse. at 1l.20, during a recess of
the court. Upon court being resumed.
United States District Attorney John F.
A. Merrill stepped toward the judge :,
bench and announced that the govern
| ment would mol pros the first and second
counts of the Indictment, the counts re-
ferring respectively to the misappropr-
| ating of S22l.5S from the money order
funds of the Office, and $oG.SS from the
postal funds. He asked for sentence on
the third count, charging the inisappro-
priation of the total amount, s290.96
Judge Hale stated that in a case of
this kind he would ordinarily feel that
he should impose a more serious penalty,
but added that he WIS satisfied that the
respondent was unable to pay a large
sum. Deputy Clerk of Courts Frank Fell
lows pronounced the sentence of the
court, Immediately after which Mr..
Hauer stepped to the desk and paid the
fine imposed.
The trial of the former postmaster of
Perry attracted much attention, particu-
larly as he accused Miss Hazel McPhail,
who was employed by the Hauers in the
hotel which they conducted at Perry. of
stealing money from him. Miss McPhai!
testified in the trial, as did score of
other witnesses, and several prominent
Washington county people not connected
with the trial were present in court. The
verdict of the jury was considered by her
friends as a vindication of the accusa-
ton made by the former postmaster.
Following the trial and conviction, ex-
ceptions to the verdict were filed, but
these were afterwards withdrawn, and
Mr. Hauer appeared this morning and re-
ceived sentence.
