DEFAULTINC NOMEITE
 IS GIVEN THREE YEARS

First Class Sergeant George l.. Me- Keone, formerly in charge of the sig nal corps telegraph office at Nome, must serve three years at the McNeill island federal penitentiary as a re- suit of his conviction by Fort Law ton court-martial of embedding $2,693 of the office funds, according to a San Francisco journal. The article referring to the punishment meted out to McKeone by the military authorities says
 Lieutenant General Liggett declined recently to cut the sentence when the case was before him for review.
 McKeone's arrest was brought about last October when the senior signal corps officer at Fort Gibbon, failed to receive McKeone's usual statement of receipts for September. McKeone had telegraphed the officer: Reports mailed, and when they did not arrive an investigation was begun that ended in the arrest of McKeone. l He pleaded guilty and made every effort to straighten out the accounts.
