FORBES FOUND NOT GUILTY
Elko County Man Who Killed Clar-
ence Eaton Is Freed BY Jury
at HanfOrd

Elko Independent: w. j. Forbes,
confessed slayer of Clarence Eaton
who disclosed his part in Eaton's kill
ing to Sheriff Harris at Shafter, in
this county, after he had returned
here to put his affairs in order in
| preparation for his trial, was de-
clared not guilty by a jury Monday
night at Hanford, California, where
he has been on trial since the nj
teenth. The verdict of the jury was
rendered after the first ballot. the
vote being unanimous for acquittal.
Forbes was defended by Judge P. A.
McCarran, former justice of the SUI
preme court of Nevada, and well
known in this county where he has
appeared as cousel in some famous
criminal cases.
Forbes pleaded the unwritten law
and self-defense. During the con-
duct of the trial certain letters al
legged to have been written by Eaton
to Mrs. Forbes were introduced In
evidence. Letters from third parties
disclosing a course of correspondence
between Eaton and Mrs. Forbes dur
ing Forbes absence from home, were
also OlltTtu " pIONC thC iOAoeioho
tween Eaton and Mrs. Forbes. Forbes
himself took the stand to relate the
circumstance of the killing, his story
being practically the same as vas
printed in this paper at the time of
the accused mans arrest. Mrs. Forbes
a called to the stand by attorneys
for the defendant but the defendant
himself arose and demonstrated
against allowing he rto testify. Be-
cause of his objections the call was
revoked by Judge McCarran.
The verdict in the case was expect
ed, as there seemed to be little ques-
ton but that Eaton was a domestic
meddler of the most insidious and de-
spicable stamp. Judging from the
letters which appeared in the case
written by Eaton, which the Indepen-
dent believes the better left unpub-
lished because of the innocent people
in the affair whom these letters un-
d~ou5.edly wound deeply every time
they are perused, Eaton was a speci-
men of a pervert whose absence will
be little felt by the community in
which he carried on his filthy prop
uganda, or any other community, for
that matter. While we by no means
extoll the taking of human life un-
der any circumstances save the most
urgent, it looks as though the verdict
of the jury in this case was tempered
with mercy and Justice.

STATE TO TRY IT'S
OWN BOOZE CASES

According to an announcement
made by the Federal authorities all
yiolators Of the prohibition act ar
rested by State officers will be tried in
the State courts.
The Government will only try
those cases where arrests are made
by Federal officers and In most in
stances these will only apply to sell
ers of hop and booze to the Indians.
While is II not so stated, 1t is pre-
sumed the Governments action is due
to the fact that the Federal %appropri-
alton for prosecuting prohibition Of
tenders is running low and the bur-
den of expense is to be placed on the
States.

It is the intention this year to concentrate in @ warehouse in Chi cago, for grading and selling to spin ners, as much of the wool clip as is pledged to the association. When the association is considered as perma- nently established and is sufficiently strong financially, arrangements will be made for one or more bonded ware houses in this state, where the wool will be graded and sold

Just about the first thing Maj. k. w. Schroeder of Chicago said when he came to in the hospital at Dayton, was that he was going higher next time. The major had just flown to 36,O2O feet Ca new record), and had fallen more than five miles while un- conscious for two minutes, landing with eyes frozen shut and in a state of collapse. The immediate cause of the flyers troubles was the exhaus- tion of his oxygen tanks.
