asked if he had anything to say before
sentence was imposed.
"I've got plenty to say" he re-
sponded. II didn't get my rights"
Justice O'Donoghue sought to have
him explain of what rights he was
deprived, but he lapsed into the sullen
silence which had characterized his
conduct during his trial.
A jury convicted Miller of sending
an extortion note to Mrs. Farrand
at her home BOIL Gates road It was
postmarked at Blue Ridge Summit,

Steps to obtain payment Of the
forfeited $4,000 bond which Admiral
Cary T. Grayson posted more than
two years ago for his brother, John
Cooke Grayson, who faces two con-
spiracy indictments, were taken late
yesterday by United States Attorney
Leslie c. Garnett.
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue or
dered the bond forfeited January 13
when the defendant, a former Treas
ury Official, failed to appear for trial
There had been numerous delays in
the prosecution.
In the face Of medical evidence
that the defendant was critically i'll
in the University of Virginia Hos
pital at Charlottesville, Justice
O'Donoghue refused to consider fur
ther continuance and authorized a
bench warrant for Grayson,s imme-
diate arrest.
Federal authorities in Virginia re.
fused, however, to remove Grayson
to Washington. fearful it might cost
his life.
Since then nothing had been done
until yesterday toward obtaining pay
ment of the forfeited bond, officials
being hopeful that the defendant ul-
timately would be able to come to
Washington and stand trial.
Yesterday, however, Assistant Unit
ed States Attorney Samuel F. Beach
secured a writ of scire facias, which
Immediately was placed in the hands
of deputy United States marshal
for service. The writ required that
Admiral Grayson appear in court
within 20 days of its service to show
cause why the marshal should not
levy on his property to collect the
bond.

At a meeting held at the Chamber
Of Commerce recently of all the
cattle growers in Santa Cruz coun-
ty some very definite plans were
laid as to realizing the needs and
objects of the Cattlemen's Associa-
ton and the development of this
very significant industry.
The chamber of commerce passed
resolutions recently asking the
County Board of Supervisors and
the City Council to increase their
annual advertising budget for the
chambers use. The county is being
asked for $1,000 and the city for
$4,000.
The chamber also passed resolu-
tions asking the city to dispense
with the sounding of the nine o.
clock curfew, substituting in its
stead the sounding of the curfew at
twelve o'clock noon.
Delegates from the chamber of
commerce and county board of su-
pervisors to the recent budget hear
ing at Phoenix returned Monday
night with reports that if funds
could be found anywhere, Santa
Cruz county would be allotted a
substantial portion of such funds.
The present budget, as adopted, has
allotted to Santa Cruz county a to-
tai of $4,000 for all purposes dur
ing the coming year, $4,000 OF
which is to be expended on the
construction of new roads. 1t Is the
belief of those who are familiar
with this plan that it will be pos
sible to stretch the $4,000 by a
WPA set-up for three times this
amount and expend it on the Pata-
gonia road. This will carry the new
construction to about Circle z
