then went to Wacomas, Oklahoma, to

That at the March, 1916 term of
this Court the jury panel was declar-
ed, by the Judge, to have been irreg-
ularly drawn, and was discharged,
thereby preventing this defendant
from obtaining a jury trial at that
term That it was through no fault
of defendant that said jury panel was
so found and declared to be irregular
ly constituted and illegally drawn.
(IV)
That defendant is ready and anx-
ious for trial of his case by jury,
fully believing that such trial would
result in his reinstatement to the Of
fee of sheriff of Union County, from
which office he has been suspended
since July 1S, 1915.
WHEREFORE, defendant prays the
Court to draw a special venire for the
purpose, and allow defendant to have
speedy trial of this cause"
The motion was argued at Ration
July 25th, and overruled by the
Court. Just compare the above clip
ping from the Snooze with this mo
ton, which Mr.. Mansker made, seek
ing to have speedy jury trial il

New York, July S1.-Charles E.

of acceptance the issues upon which

with reference to Mexico, maintain

European war, preparedness and 9TH

clared for new policy of "frmness
and consistency" toward Mexico, for
"the unfinching maintenance of all
American rights on land and sea-" and
for adequate national defense, ade-
quate protection on both our western
and eastern coasts"
"We denounce all plots and con-
spiracies in the interest of any for
eign nation" Mr.. Hughes said. cut
terly intolerable is the use of our soil
for alien intrigues. Every American
must unreservedly condemn them and
support every effort for their sup
preston"
The nominee assailed the adminis-
tration for its direction of diplo-
matte intercourse" from the begin
ming, declaring that where there
should have been conspicuous strength
and expertness there had been weak
ness and inexpertness. He cited San

THE MANsKER CASE

1t is with absolute regret that the
Citizen again feels it necessary TO
print Il it's columns more about the
removal from office of Sheriff Man
skier, because the Citizen does not
now, and never mas, believed in try
ing cases in the newspapers; because
such thing often results in a mis-
carriage of justice, and tends to Gre
ate, more or less prejurice in the
minds of the people who read only one
side of the matter.
The Citizen has heretofore felt that
it was it's duty to print Mr.. Man
skers statement of his side of the
case, because of the fierce, vicious and
misleading statements concerning il
which appeared often in the Snooze
the Democratic organ of Union Coun
ty; and the Snooze never let's up OF
this matter, but continues it's gross
Misrepresentation of the facts, fo,

case as prosecutors" 1t might we'll
be asked why Mr.. Mansker or his at
torneys, or some one of them or all
of them, are so fearful of going to
trial in this case in Union county.
Surely it couldn't be because they
would not enjoy having the facts in
his case turned inside7out" for pub
lie consideration in the face of their
long-Winded and long7standing argu-
ments to the effect that nothing can
possibly be brought out against "Poor
Old Bob for all these alleged charges
are simply trumpsd up against him"
And by printing this grossly mis-
leading statement, it appears that the
Snooze could have intended nothing
less than to wilfully misrepresent the
true facts, and make the people be-
lieve that Mr.. Mansker, and his at
torneys, did not want jury trial in
Union county; while the truth is: that
some time ago Mr.. Mansker's attor-
neys filed, in the District Court of I'm
ion county, a motion asking the Court
to call a special session of the Court
J in this county and give him a jury

MOTION FOR JURY TRIAL

Comes now Robert T. Mansker, de-
fendant in the above numbered and
entitled cause, and with respect
moves this Honorable Court to call a
special Venire for the purpose of Civ
ing this defendant jury trial of this
cause without further delay; and as
grounds for this Motion, defendant
says:
The Clayton citizen. [volume] (Clayton, Union County, N.M.) 1906-19??, 1916-08-03

That two terms of this court have
been held in Union County, since said
suspension of defendant, and he has
been ready for trial at both of said
terms, but at the first thereof, to-wit:
the September, 1915 term, defendant
did agree to continue this cause for
the sole purpose of having his official
records examined by the State Trav-
cling Auditors; fully believing that Z
such audit showed his books and ac-
counts to be correct, that he would
be re-instated in Office, or at least af-
forded an opportunity to have this
case tried by a jury; but that said
audit has long since been completed,
and report made thereon by the
said Auditor, which report shows de-
fendant not to have been short in his
accounts with the County, but shows
him to have a substantial sum du'
him from said Union County.
The Clayton citizen. [volume] (Clayton, Union County, N.M.) 1906-19??, 1916-08-03

Thet he is informed and believes
that the law pertaining to this case
contemplates that he is given a speedy
trial of the issues involved herein by
jury; although this defendant was
suspended from Office on July 18th
1915, he has never yet been given such
trial.

RIcHBERG TO BARE ANGLES IN
GAS LITIGATION

GAS LITIGATION
High finance, the kind that deals in
millions and billions, is watching the
outcome of the Chicago gas Gtiga-
ton. If the city wins, $10,000,OOO
overcharges are going to be refunded
to the people and the books and rec
ords of the company will be thrown
open-a thing the gas company has
lodged for years.
But outside the court another fight
is going on. Somebody is going to
be "nipped" The deal is one of those
which never reach the public. Both
the winner and loser keep silent.
They play with the pubhc's money.
1t wouldn't do to air their dirty
linen" The Shadow Men" know
there is more money in the pubic's
pocket and when their little game is
over they get out to get it.
The Peoples Gas Light & Coke Co.,
a $85,OOO,O0O corporation, wants the
city's sanction to make and sell
new kind of gas, which will be made
without oil. For some mysterious
reason this production is put forward
to the city at this time, when the
present rate is about to expire and
when the city is on the verge of get
ting back its $1O,00O,0O0 alleged to be
filched from the public by the gas
company.
Donald Richberg, atty for the city
in this litigation, doesn't see how the
city can lose from the way things
stand now. He has got the gas COM
pany going and coming. The case
has been taken away from Judge Glib
bons, and he has blocked all escape
by filing a cross bill, which keeps the
company from going into the federal
court.
