ACCORDING TO THE EVIDENCE.

Horatio Bottornley, British member of parlia-
ment, editor of 'John Bull" agtator, and what not,
has been convicted by jury on % of "a counts OF
frauds involving the msappropnaton of $750,00O,
most of it the property of poor people who could not
afford to lose it, and who had been beguied by Bot
tomley into the expectation of deriving honest pro-
fits from their dealings with him. He has been
sentenced to years penal servitude, and will
remain in custody, somewhat privileged prisoner,
while he perfects the papers in his appeal
The case is of some interest on this side because
OF the attention which Bottomley has attracted by
his sensational utterances. His conduct during the
trial was as sensational as much of his other be-
havior. The evidence against him cOnvinc-
ing that the jury took just % minutes to reach and
declare verdict. The man had received large sums
IN the aggregate from an immense number of trust
ing clients who had been induced to invest in some
sort of victory bond scheme. In some mysterious
way the money has disappeared. Bottomley's ac-
counts were found to be hopeless tumble, notwith
standing the fact that the is educated travelled
and has conducted business ventures of sort and
another for years. The conclusion reached by the
prosecution, and apparently approved by the jury is
that the accounts were purposely muddled so that
It would be impossible for investigators to trace the
funds.
II 4MOf the facts in this particular case Bottomley
had little to say. He conducted his defense,
and his main conteption was that because he had
done valiant work in recruiting men for the army
in the late war, and because he loved the common
people he could not possibly be guilty of the crimes
charged against him. /
The court disposed Of this line Of defense in
short order rs tsminded the jurors that their
business was with tie illegal appropriation of GER
tain sums Of money, and not with the record Of the
defendant as recruiting agent lover Of hui

DEFENSE IN "HA MINER MURDER" TO
TRY TO FIX CRIME ON WITNESS

in jealous fury over her husband,
Phillips.
Herington in the Introductory
speech declared that the defense
thesis will be that Clara, appraised
that her husband was associating
with another woman, was tremend-
ously upset and became seized with
epileptic commissions. While not yet
recovered she met Peggy who in
duced her to go to the Meadows
apartment to "obtain evidence again
st her husband, the lawyer said.
Harrington after charging that
Peggy bought the hammer declared
she went to Long Beach to use it on
the woman of whom Mrs. Phillips
was jealous, but failing to find her,
returned and went the death" auto
drive with Mrs. Phillips and Mrs.
Meadows.
1--WE will show, said Herrinton,
'that the defendant asked Alberta
to get out of the car and talk over
the situation regarding Phillips: that
Peggy remained in the Car with the
hammer and when the defendant had
her finger broken in the hand to
hand struggle she called to Peggy
for aid.
I'VE will further show that Peggy
then rushed from the car and struck
the blow that felled Alberta and that
Peggy was the only one to use
hammer in any way, as far as the
defendant was aware"
