JUDGES TO
AID HIGH COURT
THREE DISTRICT JUDGES AC,
CEPT INVITATION TO HELP
CLEAR BIG CALENDAR
Forty Cases Are Set for April in Eff
fort to Relieve Congestion; Jack
son of Butte, Poorman of Lewis
and Clark, and Spencer OF Yellow
stone Choice.

For the second time in the history
of the supreme court, 40 cases are be.
ing listed for argument in one month
April, but this time there will be adj.
ditional help provided for the court
according to Chief Justice Theodore
Brantly. Justice Brantly explained
that on April IS there will be three
district judges in Helena to act as
commissioners for the court and as
sist in reducing the burdened docket
of supreme court cases.
The judges who are being called to
Helena are Joseph Jackson Of Silver
Bow, w. H. Poorman of Lewis and
Clark and A. G. Spencer of Yellow
stone.
The district judges will be asked to
serve as commissioners for the SUI
preme court for a period of at least
two weeks and as much longer as pos
sible, Justice Brantly explained.
This additional assistance for the
supreme court was provided for in
the regular session butt it was not
practical until the special session
amended the new law with an appro-
priation of $4,000 for travelling ex-
penses of the judges and also for ad-
ditional stenographers.
AS the district judges are called
away from Helena to attend to bust
ness in their own courts, they will be
replaced by other judges about the
state. Justice Brantly spoke of the
appreciation of the supreme court in
being able to start off with the first
three district judges requested. In
the district judges to serve in
this capacity Justice Brantly said the
court wishes to try out the new legis-
lation at once to know if it is of prac-
teal benefit.

KILLS MAN AND
HANGS HIMSELF
CHOPS HOLE IN ICE OF LAKE
THRUSTS BODY OF VICTIM
IN TO CONCEAL CRIME

Big Timber coroner's inquest
held on the body of Casey Jones,
which was taken from the Glass
Lindsay lake a few days ago, re-
turned a verdict to the effect
that death was caused by a blow
from a blunt instrument in the
hands of unknown persons.
The testimony of DR.. Clayborn,
who performed an autopsy, showed
that Jones had been cut behind the
ear and struck over both eyes. The
blow over the right eye caused con-
cussion of the brain. The theory of
the sheriff's office was borne out by
the testimony, the substance of which
is as follows:
On the afternoon of Feb. 9 Ben
Bradford went to the Jones ranch,
got a load of grain and arranged
with Jones to bring it to Big Timber.
The day following Bradford, how
ever, unloaded it into his own gran
airy. Jones came down before day.
light the following morning and met
Bradford at the granary. A quarrel
followed and Bradford killed Jones,
loaded his body into a wagon, drove
10 the west eUQ OIL the lake, cut d
hole in the ice, put the body in and
then drove around the lake and to
the mountain for wood.
Later in the day several ranchers
came to the lake to cut their ice.
About dusk Bradford drove up on
the east bank with his wood, saw
several men and automobiles gath
cred around the place where he had
deposited the body and, believing
them to be the sheriff and others,
unhitched his team and turned them
loose. He then went to the cabin of
Kramer and hanged himself, believ-
ing he was beating the officers to it.
Jones' coat, gloves and overcoat
were on his body when it was found
on the day of the suicide. The Of
ficers found a blody gunnysack in
the granary and also blood on the
outside. After Jones disappeared they
to the granary to get the sack
and ascertain if there were human
blood on it. The granary, however,
had been cleaned and all rubbish
burned. An attempt had been made
to scrub up the blood outside.
Jones was 70 years of age and had
been at Glasston six years. He has
a brother in Nebraska who is on his
way here for the funeral.
