Court Upho|ds
Conviction Of 4
Bank Robbers
Men Serving Terms
Got s., 900 in 1888
HoIdup Here

The United States Court Of APP
peals today affirmed conviction of
four bank robbers who got more
than $4,000 in the daylight holdup
of the Georgia Avenue Branch OF
the Washington Mechanics Savings
Bank on June 10, 1888.
Associate Justice Justin Miller an
nounced strongly worded dissent
from the majority opinion of Asso-
ciate Justices Harold Stephens and
Wiley B. Rutledge.
The convicted men were Barney
Neufield, James Foley, Joseph Flynn
and Samuel Rubin. Assistant United
States Attorney William S. Tarver
prosecuted them.
They are serving sentences OF 3
to Is years each, having been con-
victed November IT, 1899. Imme-
diately following the robbery here,
and their apprehension. they were
taken to New York for trial on an
ether robbery charge and served
number of years in prison there
before their trial here.
One of the points in the appeal
was that the lower court trial judge.
Justice Peyton Gordon, had refused
to have another participant in the
robbery, who had pleaded guilty and
was serving time in Alcatraz,
brought here to testify.
Miller DiSSentS.
In his dissent Justice Miller said:
Even the cold record reveals
Feasibility, impotence and resent
ment upon the part of the trial
judge, and that the assistant district
attorney entered fully into his mood.
veal any reason therefore. Every
request made by counsel was rea-
sonable one: the showing was ample
for continuance: the perseverance
of counsel in the face of judicial
arbitrariness was commendable; and,
in my opinion, the courts action
constituted an abuse of discretion"
Defense counsel had asked for
continuance so the witness might
be brought here to testify.
Prejudicial Statements Alleged.
Continuing in the dissent, Justice
Miller said: Several statements of
the trial judge, in the present case,
some of which were made in the
presence of the jury, were. in my
opinion, clearly prejudicial, evil
dencing hostility to the accused and
their counsel; and seriously calcu-
lated to prejudice the minds of the
jurors against them"
The majority. in its opinion, held
that the request to produce the de-
tense witness was too late and would
have delayed the trial unduly.

IN MEMORIAM

In memory of our dear mother who
passed away four years ago today
December 10:
We have lost our souls companion
A life linked with our own
And day by day we miss her more
AS We walk through life alone,
We took our sorrow all to you
You'd smooth our troubled brow,
You always chased the cloud away
We could not forget you now,
Gone from this earth of sorrow and
care
Gone into the light that shines so fair
Resting those hands that did their
best,
Gone dear Mother, gone to rest.
What is home without our Mother?
What are all the joys we meet?
When your loving smile no longer
Greets the coming of our feet.
Dearest Mother, how we miss you
Since from earth you passed away,
And our hearts are aching sorely
AS we think of you today.
Sadly missed by
Van Reese family.

income tax money that those rich
industrial cities pay into the fund.
OF course this would no doubt re-

Gives Advice On
Raising Porkers

With the drive for increased
pork production, it is expected
that more pigs will be fed in
Montana this year and in view
of this fact feeders are eau
toned by E. P. circuit, extern
sion livestock specialist at Mon
tana State college, that SAM
tary precautions must be taken
to guard against losses.
Clean pens and clean water
are "musts" in hog feeding rou-
tine of the animals are to keep
in thrifty condition. Pastures
that have been used for several
years for hogs are generally
breeding grounds for diseases
and changing pastures is an eX-
cellent sanitary measure.
Occasionally hog cholera
makes its appearance in Mon
tana hog lots, circuit said. For
this reason feeders should keep
a close eye on their pigs for
complete loss of appetite and
extremely high fever. When
these signs are observed a vet
erinarian should be called at
once.
Keeping swine free of lice
helps in keeping them in thrifty
condition and old crankcase oil
is an excellent material for this
purpose, circuit said. Use an
old broom as a scrub brush
and put plenty of oil behind
the ears, between the legs and
in the flanks of the animal.
