Hesperia Fipe
Found Guilty By
Teacher Jury

Hesperia debating society put
on a mock trial in the high school
auditorium on Thursday night, to
the amusement OF about 120 visit
ors. While the trial was more or
less of a joke, it proved to be in
structive in legal procedure and
many of the. court officials were
invested with all the dignity of q
real trial.
With Justice TT. L. Halsted pre-
siding, the case of the State OF,
Wisconsin VS.. Burt Hall, Andrew
Macarthur, Roger Altpeter, Ray
Hocum, and John Culver, charged
with the kidnapping and abduct-
ing of one Edward Siegel, was
thrashed out. The state was re-
presented by Kenneth CASTOR and
Orrin Evans, attorneys at law,
while the defendants were repre-
scented by themselves.
The defense based it's case upon
the allegation that said Edward
Siegel was of unsound mind and
therefore not responsible.
Eight witnesses for each side
were questioned after being sworn
in to 'tell the truth, the whole
truth, and anything but the truth. "
Richard Fosnot. an eminent alien
list gave much valuable testimony
to the amusement of his listeners.
Members of the jury were teach
ers in the high school, Mrs. Caro-
line HOrstman, Miss Fern Hack
EFT, Miss Louise Nesbit, Miss Es-
Their Nothenberg, Miss Leila John
son, and Herbert w. Hawkins.
They brought in a verdict OF
guilty after due deliberation, and
the five defendants were sentenc-
ed to payment of fine Of thirty
cents and ordered by the court
never to speak to anyone of the
opposite sex for the rest Of their
lives.
The boys hope to have more
mock trials, approaching their val
ne along several lines, not the
least of which is carrying off an
unaccustomed role with ease.
