WOULD REWARD JUROR
Start Campaign TO Raise Funds for
"Buneo" Case Jury.

Denver, Colo, March 3O-Residents
of Denver were today asked to join
in a money raising campaign, unique
in Colorado at least. The campaign,
launched by State Senator Henry
Wolcott Toll is for the thirteen jur-
ors who sat on the "million-dollar
bunco ring" case and found all of
the 20 defendants guilty. Sixty-three
days were devoted TO the case.
Senator Toll started the contribu-
tons with a check for SD and the
campaign is being handled by a local
newspaper. In letter published this
morning. Senator Toll says in part:
THE jurors served the community
in this case about nine weeks and re-
ceived compensation of $50 a day
a total of less than 500 for more
than two months work. 1t is appar-
ent that each of them has suffered
serious financial loss. 1t does not re-
quire much imagination to believe that
any of these men might have profited
by $4,000 at the least, if he had
been willing TO betray the community
If the jury had betrayed the public
we would have been bitter in our de-
nunciation for years to come. Since
they have acted with integrity ia
purge the community. our apprccia-
ton should be no less vehement
The fund TO be raised. it is stated
will be divided equally among tho
Jurors.
