cause under which the state demands
| judgment for $4,000 for the alleged
conversion by Conley Of garage equip
ment of such value consisting of an
air compressor, approximately 200 in
ner tubes, a large number of automo-
bile castings, two Ford automobiles and
miscellaneous machinery and tools.
The defendant testified as to the
construction and location of the prison
garage building which contained a ma
chine shop that had been in charge OF
Fred Wilson, a convict, who was q
good machinist and who is now en-
ployed in the Milwaukee railroad shops
at Deer Lodge.
He said a rule had been established
a long time ago whereby the earnings
Of a prisoner should go to him and
whereby he should have the right to
any articles made by himself.
Wilson Made Machinery
Mr.. Conley testified that nearly
every piece Of machinery and attach
ments in the garage machine shop was
made by Wilson out Of old pieces of
the scrap heap, together with some
tools and pieces of equipment obtained
from the Milwaukee shops.
Mr.. Conley said the state had bought
two lathes, one now being in the scrap
heap and the other in good condition
and in the prison. He said the only
thing moved, from the prison garage
that belonged to the state was a pipe
cutting machine, moved without his
knowledge. which he later turned over
to the state and which was taken back
to the prison.
"Wha became of the states t%ools?"
asked Mr.. Rankin on cross-examina-
ton.
The state did not have any tools.
What it had was in the blacksmith
shop" replied Conley.
WAS there anything left but the
cement floor?'
THAT was enough. All the cars and
stuff in there belonged to me-"
How about the motors?"
ConIey Says Minus Car
"All the states motors are counted
for and you still have one of mine"
"Why didn't you wait for someone
to come over from Helena to check
o out?"
why didn't you send someone over
to check me out?" suggested Conley.
This was the first time in the history
of the United States a man was check
ed out like that"
Didn't McFatridge come over to
check you out?' asked Rankin.
NO" replied Coniey. "he came over
there to take an inventory after / had
gotten out"

New York Marked
INANCIAL

New York, June 12.-Selling of the
same enforced character as that which
precipitated the sharp reactionary
movements Of last week was increas-
| ingly evident on the stock exchange
Monday. Speculative issues reacted 3
to 10 points on sales approximating L.
10000 shares.
In substance, much of the liQutda-
! ton was ascribed to interests which al
| ready have or are about to sever their
direct relations with the exchange In
consequence Of that institutions dras-
tic program of house cleaning"
Other offerings were attributed to
brokers who were said to have received
broad limitations that the exchange no
longer would countenance pool opera
tions in stocks Of obscure or merely POI
tential value.
These several forms of liquidation
were accelerated in the later dealings
by a pronounced expansion Of short
contracts, based in part on the markets
lack of support. together with other ad-
verse Developments. Among these wa
committee to proceed with the interna-
tional loan, that action causing weak
ness in international ~currencies.
More than one-third of the days bust
ness was transacted in the final hour.
Oils, steel, motors, equipments, coppers,
textiles, food specialties and chemicals
were then the center Of the reaction.
United States Steel, which had been ir-
regular in the early part of the session.
was extensively offered at a net loss of
81 points. Independent steels, notably
Republic and Vanadium, registered
more severe declines.
High grade rails were immune from
pressure until the reversal became too
sweeping to withstand. Losses among
transportations were held within mod
crate limits, however, the chief suffer
ers being Southern Pacific, Reading and
Erie at net declines of 1 to almost 2
points.
Call money opened at 8 per cent, eased
to "a, the owe quotation in almost
five years, but gradually stiffened as
stock market prices became more reac-
tionary, advancing to the days highest
quotation Of 81 per cent in the last
half hour. Time funds held at last
weeks levels, with smaller offerings of
long date accommodations.
Sterling reacted half a cent. while
allied bills were Z to II points lower
and German marks were almost Z points
under their price of . weeks ago.
