WRIT IN BOOTH CASE:
DENIED By COURT

be ascertained from the verdict in
question what gross misdemeano-
was intended. If, in determining the
sutficiency OF verdict, courts must
look exclusively to the verdict, there
would be much force in the conten-
ton OF counsel for petitioner a yer
dict OF guilty, which our statute say s
is sufficient in cases other than those
divisible into degrees, by itself would
be unintelligib'e, but reference may
be had to the indictment or informa-
ton in making mp the Judgment"
Concluding this phase of the case,
the court said:
considering the verdict in connec-
ton with the information and the law
governing the crime of criminal libel,
we are not warranted, we think. il
holding it void. When reference is
had to the information. it is in form
from which it can be clearly under
stood what the intention of the jury
is (Revised Laws, sec. 1921, quoted
supraD 1t was the province of the
jury to determine the grade of the OF,
tense according to the facts, (People
versus Cornell supra) and this is what
the jury clearly intended to do by the
use Of the words of a gross misde-
meanOr.
The court further held that vcrdicts
are not to be considered with the
same strictness as an Indictment OF
information.
The opinion OF the court WrittHn
by Chief Justice Norcross is exhaus
tive upon the subject. 1t not only re
views the many decisions OF the ST.
preme court of Nevada upon the Ques-
ton raised, but it also reviews and
cites as authority decisions rendered
by the courts of many other states.

The Supreme court today in an
opinion written by Chief Justice Nor
cross and concurred in by Justice Nc
Carran and Justice Coleman, denied
the petition Of w. w. Booth for a
writ of habeas corpus. The order Of
the court was as follows:
That petitioner surrender himself
into the custody OF Nye county in
pursuance OF the judgment, from the
confinement upon which he was re
leased upon bail pending the hearing
on this proceeding, and that upon his
so surrendering himself his bail be
Generated
The principal point raised by the
attorneys tor Booth was the invalid
ity of the verdict filed by the jury.
The verdict read:
I'VE, the jury in the above entitled
cause, lind the defendant W. w.
Booth, guilty OF gross misdemeanor."
1t was the contention of the peti-
toner that gross misdemeamDr was
not included in the crime OF libel.
The Supreme court reviewed a
great number of cases in its opinion,
many of them being Nevada cases,
and after so reviewing, it determined
that in the statute defining libel and
iixing the punishment therefor, as
set forth Dy the codes OF Nevada the
jury might find a party charged gull
ty of eithe- 4 felony or gross nus
demeanor, and in the opinion OF the
court it is asserted that the statute
charges two grades of offenses, the
one being misdemeanor and the otn-
er being felony. In the opinion
the court says:
1T is contended, however, that be-
cause many offenses come within the
class OF gross misdemeanor, it cannot

Governor Boyle On Bill

Governor Boyle, when interviewed
today regarding the passage of the
pttman bill in the Unite States SEN
ate yesterday granting 100000 acres
of land to the state of Nevada for
educational purposes, had the follow
ing to say:
The Pittman bill, which provides
Tor the granting to Nevada of 7,0OO,-
600 acres of land for educational pur-
poses, has passed the senate and is
now before the house of representa-
tives.
The fact that nne-tenths OF the
national government and is not tax
| able to maintain our state and local
governments; that other western
states have received from 6 to IA per
cent respectively Of their total area
in land grants, while Nevada has
received but 3 per cent, and that Ne
vada is today expending as much per
capita for education alone as many
states, on the same basis, eXpend d
maintain their entire government, es-
tablish the basis for a just demand
on our part for favorable action on
! this bill. ..... .s
If the measure is defeated it will
be because eastern congressman un-
familiar with our needs and our prob
lens withhold their support. and Ne
ance with eastern representatives are
urged to write them asking for fair
| consideration in the matter.
"The governors office will gladly
supply statistics in support of our
contentious to anyone who will make
the suggested use of them"

from your end of the line
In connection with the above Gov
ernor Boyle suggests that in order to
effect the passage OF the bill that
everyone who has any influence with
any congressman from outside states

ton at a reasonable cost from any
known available source OF surface

That such permit shall be upon con-
dtion that the permittee shall begin
operations within six months from

That upon establishing at any time
within two years from the date OF the
permit to the satisfaction of the sec
rctary OF the interior that under

TO produce at profit agricultural
crops other than native grasses upon
not less than twenty acres of land
have been discovered and developed
within the limits of the land the said
permittee shall be entitled to a patent
for one-fourth of the land embraced
in the permit. such area to be select

according to the legal subdivisions
Of public land surveys.
That the remaining area within the
limits of the land embraced i'll any

served from other disposition and

rctary of the interior, be sold at pub

tons as he may prescribe.
