KRAUSL PLEADS NOT GUILTY 10
 TWO CHARGES

Edward Krause this morning enter ed pleas of mot guilty" to the indict- ments charging him wlth robbery and forgery. The attorney for the defense asked until tomorrow morn ing to enter pleas on the two charges of murder, which was grant ed.
 On the two indictments for fraudu- lent use of the malls, a demurrer was filed and Attorney Kazis Krauc- zunas argued that the two indict' ments were returned against the defendant for the same crime and that they should have been com blned in one indictment.
 District Attorney Smiser moved that the two indictments be com bined and tried at the same time in order that the work of the court might be expedited.
 Judge Jennings announced that this would be done and that he would take the demurrer under advisement and instruct the jury to return two verdicts. if they were separate crimes. or only one verdict if they were both drawn on the same crime.
 Mr. Krauczunas then asked further time to prepare his defense as the in- dictment had not been published un- tii last Friday. Judge Jennings then ruled that the alleged crimes would be tried separately and that the de- fendant should so to trial on the first indictment returned. This charges that the defendant. Krause under tho name of George Hartman, used the mails from Juneau to send a forged mortgage to Vancouver in order that 1t might be forseclosed on the property ot Y. Yamamoto.
 The work of securing the jury for the trial was started this morning with the members of the regular panel present. These were soon ex- hausted and a special venire was is- sued.
