Mccoy FOUND GUILTY
OF tMBtzzLfMEN1
Jury Finds That As Agent Of Ira
Bracket He Converted MOney-Case
Unique Here.

After several hours deliberation, the
jury in the case of the state of Idaho
against James Mccoy on the charge
OF embezzlement, brought in verdict
of guilty late Saturday night. This is
the first conviction on the charge of
embezzlement ever secured in the
court here, and one of the compare
lively few ever secured in Idaho,
as it is necessary to prove to the sat
isfactiOn of jury in such a case that
the person convicted obtained money
for lawful purpose and with lawful
intent as agent of another and after
wards converted such money to his
own use. If the defendant is merely
in custody of the money or property
and then converts it, it constitutes lar
ceny but not embezzlement, under the
Idaho statutes.
The state claimed in this case that
Mccoy on April %, 1914, obtained
from Ira Bracket, $500 on a promis-
sorry note given to Judge Lawrence
Hansen, and April 81 1914, $500 more
on another promissory note given to
the Idaho State bank That this money
so obtained was given defendant by
Bracket for the purpose of going to
New York and securing a controlling
interest in the Jarbidge Altitude mine
from man named Van Week; that
after he had received the money and
had gone to New York in company
with J. j. Diess, a former resident here
and secured an option on 100000
shares Of the stock, for $4,000 for
which the first payment of $500 was
TO be paid later on, and the balance at
a still more remote time, Mccoy, with
out consulting Bracket, went to Nor
felix, Va, from which place he notified
Bracket CT what he had done in the
case of Van Week, and that from this
time on Bracket heard nothing from
him until he was brought here a pri-
sOner from Seward, Alaska That he
lad converted the money in his pos
session to his own use and that this
money was the property of Ira
Bracket
The defendant claimed that he was
a partner with Bracket and two 9TH
ers in the ownership of the mine and
that he could not, therefore, be guilty
of embezzlement under the law He
also claimed that he did not improper |
ly convert any money to his own use:
that it was understood that he was to |
also try to sell his own stock in order |
to put money into the mine for further
development. The defendant produced |
letter which he claimed he had re-
ceived at Salem, n. c., from
Bracket in which the latter purport-
ed to treat him as a partner and to
confirm his mission to sell stock He
