charge of criminal libel preferred BY
District Attorney Sanders of Nye
county. who was the complaining wit
ness. Attorney General Thatcher as
sisted in the prosecution and the case
was heard in the fifth district court
al Tonopah before Judge j. Emmeti
Walsh of Goldfeld, sitting as special
Judge in the case. The jury found
the editor guilty of a gross misde-
meanor,' and he was sentenced by
Judge Walsh to serve a term of six
months in the county jail.
He was released upon habeas cor
nus proceedings filed in the supreme
court and the sentence of the lower
court was attacked upon the ground
that the offense of gross misdemean-
or, for which he was convicted
and sentenced was not a lesser crime
embraced in the offense of criminal
libel and that the sentence of the
court was not in accord with the
law. The supreme court held TO
the contrary.
The opinion holds that under the
rule established by modern author
ity. the sufBeiency of a verdict is de-
termined by reference to the record
particularly the indictment or infor-
nation. Applying this rule. 1t Is
held that the jury by its verdict must
have intended TO find the petitioner
guilty Of the charge of libel of the
grade of a gross misdemeanor.

RENO CITY EMPLOYEE FINDS
BODY OF INFANT IN SNOW

A rigid investigation has been
started by the Washoe county au-
thorities as the result of the discovery
OF the body of an infant that was
found in the snow at Third and Rails
ton streets, Reno. near the railroad
track. The body was that of a still
born infant and was developed about
six months. 1t had evidently been
lying in the Snow for some time as
IL was badly discolored when discoy-
cred. The body was found by an
employee OF the street department Of
the city, who wrapped 1t in a paper
and buried 1t In the snow.
The police have several theories.
but the one that Is deemed as the
most likely is that the tiny body was
thrown from the window of a pass
ing train.
