The other indictments were read

Judge Finney said in part: "The
charges in these two indictments,
Nos. 2lS6 and PISS, are based on
moneys claimed to have been re
ceived by the sheriff for the sup
port of federal and city prisoners,
which moneys the state contends
the defendant has not accounted for
as required by law.
"You are instructed that it was
the duty of the sheriff to receive
the money therefore and to pay
the same over to the county trea-
surer on or before the fifth day of

Judge Finney then went on to

went on, "and the court, therefore

"On the other hand a, continued
the Judge, "if the sheriff goth the

jury should find him not guilty.
The court room this morning was
crowded with the friends of the
sheriff as well as many others IN
ierested in the trial. Most of the
sheriff's family and relatives list
ened TO the judges instructions to
the jury.
Sheriff Appears Calm
Sheriff Giilett himself permitted
no inSling of his thoughts to appear
upon his face as Judge Finney read
from the numerous pages OF in
structions he had prepared. His
counsel also listened attentively
and took notes.
District Attorney Elmer Reald
with his deputies c. b. Smith and
Ed Halliday sat at bne end Of the
long attorneys table close 10 the
jury box, Heald perfectly at ease
and the two deputies hunched over,
also taking notes.
Upon completing his instructions
Judge Finney went through the
usual routine of explaining the
form of verdict and the election of
a foreman and then turned the jury
over to the bailiff.
Judge Finney started his instruc-
rions by reading the first count of
the first indictment, No. 2ls6 and
then explained to the jury, with
the consent of the prosecution and
defense counsel. that he would not
read all of the indictments but
would turn over a copy of the in
struetions to the jury SO they could

Owing to the fact that many I'm

delegation to make the trip to Pine

and, as the Federated Chambers of

1t could be taken into consideration
as to whether or not the defendant
fraudulently intended to appropriate
the money.
every person is presumed to in
tend to do that which he voluntarily
does do,' the judge continued, and
if the jury finds, beyond a reason
able doubt that the money was pub
lie money and that it was fraudu-
lentlv taken then they must bring
in a verdict of guilty.
The Judge ended his instruction
by telling the jury that nothing but
the evidence was to be considered
in coming to a decision in the case.
District Attorney Elmer Heald
finished his argument before the
Jury Yesterday afternoon after an
hour of closing summing up the
evidence and answering points rails
ed by the defense in their arguments
preceding his.
immediately upon resting for the
state, Judge \. {. Finney excused
the jury until 9 clock this NOM
ing when he gave them his instrue-
tions.
Head, Yesterday afternoon spent
little time trying the defense
attorneys but confined himself to
certain outstanding items which he
said constituted proved derel.ctions
in the duties Of the sheriff 5 of
flee.
He showed the jury numerous
nverdrafts at the bank in which
Gillett kept his account and de-
manded to know if that was not
proof the sheriff had used bail
money, fines, etc, fer, his private
use when such money should have
been in the account at all times.
''That money should have been
turned over each month, the fifth
of each month, when the sheriff
makes his regular monthly affida-
Wit of the receipts of his office, -
Heald pounded home to the jury.
"The defense claims Gillctt got
away with only $4,000 and because
of that small sum should not have
been prosecuted. What does it mat
ter what amount he got away with,
50 or 100000, il is all the same
! He embezzled it.
Head then went on to show the
jury the various items which the
state claims the sheriff appropria-
ted to his own use. He was inter
rupted several times by the defense
attorneys who repeatedly charged
| misconduct.
Defense Audit
The district attorney stated the
audit by Charles +. Levinson was
fair and square; that the members
of the grand jury who indicted
Gillett were Of the highest type of
citizens and that his reason for
prosecuting the ease was that he
was district attorney and as such
| it was his duty to work his hardest
/ for conviction.
"Gillett has a fine wife and
wonderful children. He should be
proud Of them. They will probably
act as factor in your decision as
to his innocence or guilt But you
! have sworn an oath not TO let such
considerations enter into your
| Judgment and as sorry as / am for
that fine wife and wonderful chill
dren it is your duty, regardless of
them to bring in verdict of
guilty" Heald completed his argu-
| ment.
A comedy relief during the clos
ing minutes of Head s talk was af-
fected when the district attorney
answered a question brought up by
the defense.

Attractions At Theatres
"LIFE OF RILEY" IS AT
 PALACE FOR LAST TIME

George Sidney and Charlie Mur- ray at their best are co-featured in a pair of corking characterfza- tions and plot that overlooks nothing of comedy value-with TO- nance and feminine pulchritude and background color to boot. That is why "The Life of Riley" played to big business at the Palace last night The feature is on for the last two times tonight. The or chestra gives a splendid concert and before the feature is screened Stella Jones gives cello solo with a popular Irish selection. The orchestra played both shows last night and will play the first show tonight.
 The Life of Riley was produced by First National for Hilarious purposes and it fills the bill.
 Riley the character depicted by Murrap, is Fire Chief and gen eral storekeeper in a rural village, and Meyer" is Chief of Police. and the iceman, played by Sid ney. Sam Hardy comes to town with a circus as shell-game man, and remains to get the rich widow who is desired also by the Fire and Police chiefs, Myrtle Sted- man plays that character.

GLORIA SWANSON .'s
 NOW AT COLISEUM

If there's a moral to be gleaned from Gloria Swanson's latest pie ture, which opened at the Coliseum last night, it ist-'Fine Manners Don't Make Fine Ladies'"
 But-be that as it may, Fine Manners" stands head and shoul- ders above anything Gloria has done in the past year. This is only natural when one considers that the story was written espec- ially for the star by two veteran writers, James Ashmore Creeland and Frank Vreeland
 Gloria is more giamorous than ever before. As Orchid Murphy, the poor little hard-working bur lesque chorus girl, she has a role that is new and distinctive. You cant compare it to anything Gloria has played in the past. And be- cause of this, it is the opinion of all those who've seen the picture that Fine Manners" will prove to be the stars most popular picture.
 We follow the story of a little girl from the East Side who meets a boy from the West Side and i'm mediately falls in love: with him. He likes her for her natural care free manner. She loves him be- cause he's-himself.
 The young aristocrat, bored with society as he,knows it, thinks this chlorine would be perfect-if only her crude manners were improved. Securing the aid of sympathetic aunt, he provides Orchid wit h everything that is needed in or der to become '1ady."
 This is the starter.

 These experiments were applied to human beings later and then expanded to the point of keeping patients in cylindrical pressure tanks
 The latest development came when H. H. Timken, the Canton, Ohio, manufacturers, financed the present unique sanitarium. The four floors of the globe include s eping quarters, recreation rooms, dining rooms and all con- veniences for comfortable living. In all of them, day and night, the patients live under the oxygen pressure.
 Part of pr. Cunningham s therapy is based on his belief that convalescent patient must CAJOg HlS lilt III lCSO'CiJ A " proceed at the most effective rate.
 Summed up, his theory is that oxygen is life and that happiness is essential to convalescence. Dia- bette and asthmatic ills are treat ed in the globe.
 The sanitarium has in addition two cylindrical living tanks con taining oxygen under pressure. These are equipped with double deck berths, shower baths, dress ing rooms and other conven- fences.
 Oxygen treatment has been practiced for years, but Dr. Gun ningham believed that the old method, which required a patient to take his oxygen through a glass tube for hours daily, was too monotonous.
