GUILTY" IS
JURY'S VERDICT
Robert Beaumont Convicted OF
Using Car Without Own
er'S Consent

| Robert Beaumont, young man Of
Ladysmith, was found guilty by jury
in circuit court Tuesday afternoon OF
using a Buick automobile without the
owners consent. The jury was out
fifty minutes
Young Beaumont was one of a trio
OF young men whose desire to attend
dance at AmacOy Lake on the night
of June led them to take a Buick
car belonging to r. j. Clark, of the r.
j. Clark Auto Co., to enable them TO
get to tho dance as they had not suf-
not obtain ride with any of their
acquaintance.
The boys took the car from its park
ing on Lake-av., near the garage of
Crandell & kapp, Lake-av. and
FirSt-St. One of them got the car and
picked up the other two in front Of
the f. f. Martin store They went 70
AmacOy and from there drove to Wey-
erhaeuser At Weyerhaeuser they
bought some gas, Beaumont paying for
After the dance. they returned to La
dysmith and left the car just off the
Ipublic road near the Sands Hardware
Co.'S dynamite house which is located
at the edge of the city. on the hill
just south of the old Elambeau river
bridge.
Claimed Innocence Right Along
The testimony showed that while
beaumont did not actually take the
car from its parking place, or operate
it, he was, one of the other two who
used it. Beaumont maintained that he
did not know until the party had pro-
ceeded to point beyond Bruce, on
the way to the dance, that the car
had been taken without the consent
of the owner and he has claimed TO be
innocent OF any intention of stealing
the car right along. He did admit
that, while they were considering the
availability of the car as it stood near
the garage in Ladysmith, that he
turned on the lights, and the prosecur-
ing attorney took the position that
Beaumont did this to see il the car
was locked. and found that it was not
locked
On one important point Beaumont's
early version of the affair and his tes-
timony at the trial differed. At first
he said that his companions drove him
to his home ON their return from Anna
coy; at the trial Tuesday he said he
was with the other boys when the car
was left where 1t was found He
claimed that he asked Phil LeVeiile
while at Amacoy for ride home with
him, but Mr.. LeVeille's testimony fat
ly c0ntradicted this.
Beaumont received the verdict with
ont much show of emotion. He was
ably defended by Atty. Charles Kir
wan.
Beaum0nt's two companions in the
car episode confessed their part in the
affair soon after it happened and were
put on probation for a year.
