Townley and Gilbert of the Nonpar-
tisan league we're convicted in Jackson
county Of conspiracy to violate the
state disloyalty statute. They claim
they did not got a square deal and that
they are confident that the supreme
court will reverse the verdict, in case a
new trial is not granted. The case was
fought with good deal Of bitterness,
the defense making no argument to the
jury, the judge ruling that Townley,
who wished to make his own argument,
could not do so, as being party in the
case and not submitting to cross-exam-
nation as witness, he would be able
to bring matters before the jury which
the state would have no opportunity to
controvert or question, besides allowing
him to dwell on matters and incidents
which were not allowed to come into
the case by the ruling Of the court. The
main witness for the state was one
Tiegen, who was at one time in the en-
ploy of the .Nonpartisan league. The
final disposition of the case will be
awaited with wide interest, by the peo-
pie of this and adjoining states, irrcs-
pective of their feeling toward Town
ley and Gilbert and the Nonpartisan
league.
