SENTENCES ON
 KRAUSE SET OFF
 UNTIL TOMORROW

Edward Krause was taken into court this morning to receive his sentence for the crimes for which he has been convicted, and the mat ter was set over until tomorrow morning while Judge Jennings inves- tigates certain points.
 When Krause was asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced at this time, he stated that personally there was mo- thing to say, but that his attorney had statement to make.
 Kazis Krauczunas then made mo- ton asking that the imposing of the sentences be postponed until the next term of court on account of the effect they might have on the minds of the people Of this district and the prospective jurors who will be called upon to hear the evidence in the murder charges. Assistant Dis trict Attorney James J. Reagan re. sisted the motion and it was taken under advisement by Judge Jen. nings.
 With the Krause case out of the way. the criminal calendar is clear and the jurors have been discharged from further attendance. No other cases. either equity or criminal will be tried this term, and tho-court will be declared in adjournment as soon as Judge Jennings has cleared mp some motions and demurers pending and has rendered a couple of decis- Ions on cases which have aireodv been heard.
