IN Staying CASE

Joe Hatfield WAS declared guilty
Saturday afternoon OF manslaugh-
ter in connection with the death
May 10 Of V. Gomez on Hatfied's
ranch south of Calipatrla. and
Robert K'oss ana Jack Williams
were found not guilty. but are held
today while officials plan 10 file
complaints charging them as acceS-
sories after the fact.
According to evidence introduced
during the trial, it was Kloss and
Williams who tied weights to the
body of Gomez. sinking it IN the
Alamo river, after Hatfield shot
the Mexican in the back Of the
head. They had no hand in the ac-
tual shooting. and took no action
until he was dead.
Hatfield probably will be SEN
fenced Wednesday TO San Quentin
penitentiary. The others will he held
at the county jail pending trial as
accessories. a charge which carries
a maximum sentence Of five years
Imprisonment upon conviction.
During trial Of Hatfield and the
others. defense attorneys brought
up the question Of trying Kloss and
Williams as principals, contending
that they should be tried as acces-
sories and not as principals, since
they had no hand in the tragedy
until after Gomez was dead.
Judge Vaughn n. Thompson re-
fused 10 dismiss the charges against
them, however, holding this was
for the jury to decide.
The Staying Of which Hatfield
was convicted was at his ranch
about two miles south Of Caipa-
tria. on the Alamo river. Gomez,
a Mexican laborer. had worked for
Hatfield for some time. On the
dav of the killing Hatfield. Kloss,
Williams and others at the ranch
were drunk. according to testimony
offered at the trial.
Gomez body was recovered from
the Alamo river by Undersheriff
Rodney Clarke. Weights were tied
to the head and feet. After their
arrest and during their trial the
accused pleaded self-defense, a
story which the jurors discredited.
D. H. Wolford and R. I. French
of the district attorneys office
prosecuted. Defense attorneys were
Ernest R. Utley. Don c. Bitter and
Lyman Robertson.
Because Utley is attending the
Democratic national convention at
Chicago, another attorney viii rep
resent Hatfield when he is SEN
fenced Wednesday. A motion for a
new trial is expected at that time
On behalf Of the convicted man.
Complaints charging Klass and
williams as accessories after the
fact were filed today. Their attor-
neys may plead that both already
have been once IN jeopardy. but
Wexford said today it viii be the
contention Of the state that the
complaints filed today deal with a
different charge.

UNCLE WIGGILY IN A BARREL

All of a sudden one morning, as
Uncle Wiggily was curling his
whiskers in the bedroom of his
hollow stump bungalow, he heard,
down stairs, a loud bowling.
"Wahl Wahl HUI Wah! Wah.
Wah!" several voices howled so
loudly and in such strange way
that the rabbit gentleman stopped
curling his whiskers. ran to tho
head of the stairs and called:
Whats the matter down there?
"Oh. nothing, Pa answered the
voice of Buster, a boy bunny.
There must be something the
matter" said Uncle Wiggily. i
heard some terrible bowling. What
is it?"
The bowling sounded again:
"Wah! Wah! HUI wah. Wah!
Wah!"
What in the world is that?'
asked the rabbit gentleman. 1T
sounds like 10 Bad Chaps bowling
at once" and, fearing that some
thing might have happened, Uncle
Wiggily jumped on the stair bar

saw Buster, Custer, Duster and

PROBATION

DEVELATION of the large number of
II persons on probation in California
1900 of them-will come somewhat as a
surprise to the layman who does not
have occasion to give much thought to
such matters.
Each of these 1900 persons has vio-
lated the law in some manner or other
perhaps seriously, perhaps not SO ser
iously.
But they all represent persons whom
the public would be supporting in lnStl-
tutions, if it were not for the probation
laws which make it possible for them 10
support themselves and their families.
The financial saving enabled by proba-
ton. is. however, only comparatively
minor benefit of probation. These 1900
persons are, by means Of probation, Civ
en- a chance to get hold Of themselves and
become decent members Of society instead
of criminals.
There are abuses Of the probation law,
both bv those who extend it and by those
who receive il. Carelessness in extend
ing probation is not desirable. Neither Is
il desirable that one who abuses proba-
ton be given another opportunity TO do
so.
Statistics show, however, that the ben
b1llS Oh plODdbiOli 4SNA pNt''SAs7 ~
it receives Careful selection of officials
administering over probation cases Is a
big safeguard in keeping abuses at MIN
imum.
The layman who thinks that granting
probation to an offender is extending
him too much leniency, never read the
rules and regulations governing proba-
ton. These are strict indeed and where
they are rigidly enforced, the probation
er is kept under a surveillance almost as
tight as he would receive in penal IN
stitution, withoUc the undesirable tea
lures of the latter.
That there are 226 persons on proba-
ton in Imperial county, will also be
somewhat surprising. 1t is far better,
however to have these persons IN an en-
vironment where there is chance to pre-
vent them from becoming confirmed
criminals than it is to have them UP at
San Quentin or elsewhere.
The probation law is one OF the truly
sane developments of our criminal code
and it merits the support and coopera-
ton of every good citizen.
Being on probation does not necessar-
ily mean that person is criminal. 1t
NAV merely mean that he has made
mistake and has been caught Viewed IN
this light there are many more OF US who
should be on probation. Lots of US Just
haven't been caught.

hoped out of his bungalow and
went over the fields and through
the woods, wondering what would
happen. He had not gone very
far before. all of a sudden, he heard
a noise and, looking around he saw
a black, bushy old bear coming to-
ward him.

Wiggily. II didn't look for an adj
venture quite so soon. l don't want
this bear to catch me and as he
can run through the snow faster
than 1 can, he may catch me
F Where can I ride?"
Looking around, Uncle Wiggily
saw an empty barrel, standing in
a drift of snow It looked like a
good place to hide and before the
Bear reached him the rabbit gen
tleman gave a hop, skip and Q
lump and landed inside the bar
rel. So quick was the rabbit gen.

the Bear. Il can follow his tracks
in the snow" But luckily for
Uncle Wiggily, after he had jumped
into the barrel a strong wind blew
across the snow, filling the rabbit
tracks with white flakes SO when
the Bear drew near the barrel
there was no way of telling which
way the rabbit had gone. And the
Bear never thought of looking in
side the barrel. for never before
had he ever found a rabbit in such
q place.
But he must be somewhere
around here growled the Bear,
tramping back and forth in the
snow near the barrel. He can't
be far away and if I stay around
here long enough he is sure to
come out sooner or latter and I'll
catch him. l can walt as long
as he can. But I wonder where he
is hiding?'
Uncle Wiggily, looking through a
crack in the barrel, saw the Bear
marching up and down like a
soldier on guard.
Il wish he'd go away thought
the rabbit. 1T was easy enough
to get into this barrel, but it isn't
going to be so easy getting out.
Perhaps I shouldn't have jumped
in. l wish that Bear would 60

But the Bear didn't. Up and
down and around and around the
barrel he marched, getting more
and more hungry every minute
And poor Uncle Wiggily had To
stay hiding there, not daring to
leave his safety barrel. Then, all
of a sudden, Mr.. Longears had a
