GATESCLAIMS AL|BI
FOR DEC. 5, DAY OF
ROBBERY AT WILTON
William LANCER Will Resist At.
tempts to Imp|icate Former
Sheriff
QUESTIONED IN LINTON JAIL
Former Sioux County Official
Held With Two Others on
Check Charge

William LANCER, Bismarck attorney,
said Thursday John Gates, former
sheriff Of Sioux county, held on q
charge of obtaining money under false
pretense at Linton, has been ques-
toned regarding the robbery of the
First National bank of Wilton.
LANCER, who is defending Gates on
the charge for which the former sher-
iff is held, said that If any effort Is
made to connect Gates with the rob-
berry, an "airtight alibi' will be Of
fered to- show that Gates could not
have been in the Wilton vicinity on
Dec. 8, the day Of the robbery.
Mclean county authorities who have
been at Linton for the last two days
denied they were there to investigate
the Wilton robbery. They said they
came here from Washburn, seat ot
Mclean county, on an entirely diff
ferent matter.
LANCER said that efforts to obtain
any information from the Mclean
county officials as to whether they
sought to connect Gates with the rob-
berry has failed. He said, however
he had reliable information thst Gates
has been questioned. but that any eff
fort to connect Gates with the robbery
would be resisted.
Gates was arrested at Fort Yates
several days ago on the charge of OBJ
tanning money under false pretense,
which grew out of the cashing of trav-
elerS checks at Linton by two men.
He was lodged in the Emmons county
Jail here, and the other two men
were returned Wednesday night from
Huron. S. D.. to face similar charges.
Gates connection with the cashing
of the checks. according to Emmons
county authorities. was that he
vouched for the men. Gates denies
that he had any knowledge that the
checks may have been spurious, as
charged by Emmons county officials.

Another $4,000, he said, are divided

URUGUAY FOR EUROPE
Members of Gang Interned on
Island Find Routine Hard and
Accept Invitation to Leave.

BY Cable to The Star.
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, July 25.-
The last of 81 white slavers informed on
Flores Island has departed for Europe.
They were members of the Xvi Migdal,
an international gang operating as
mutual aid society in Argentina, and
were deported to Uruguay.
They fought Uruguay's efforts to de-
port them whereupon President Gabriel
Terra halted court proceedings and sent
them to the quarantine station on Flores
Island telling them they could stay
there as long as they desired. They
found the island cold and inhospitable
and objected to arising with the bugle
before daylight and eating sailors ra-
tons. One by one they asked permis-
sion to board steamers bound for Eu-
rope.
