manded . trial by jury, and his case

His lawyer. Thomas Bradley, told
Judge Ralph Given, who was presiding,
that Mr.. Shoemaker Is a member Of
Congress. and would like to have the
trial wait until the present session is
over.
THAT Is rather vague and indefinite, :"
replied the Judge. Il think will set
this case for May II and let the Con-
gresham arrange his business so he
can get here at that time. If he is
needed to cast his vote he can be
reached here and we will let him attend
for that purpose. But 1t would hardly
be necessary to call for one member
unless the vote was very close"
The Minneootan drove up to Police
Court and parked his car in forbidden
zone In front Of the building. A police
man approached and started to say
something. but Shoemaker tapped q
green metal tag on the windshield on
which was printed the word Congress
sional." He was allowed to park with
out any further protest.
He then went to the office OF As
sistant United States Attorney Michael
F. Keogh. The latter accompanied the
Representative to court where he was
arraigned Immediately, without waiting
his turn. His mot guilty" was spoken
