ONE YEAR IN JAIL
Gordon Brown charred with
killing Ixni Hardy was found
guilty of manslaughter in the
second degree by the jury ami
was sentenced to one year in jail
and to pay a fine of $1000.
The Jury in tho case of the Stato
vs. Gordon Brown charged with kill-
ing Lon Hardy at Berwyn in August
1919 had not reported up to 2 o'clock
this afternoon. Brown who had been
out on bond has been remanded to
tho custody of the sheriff and locked
up in the county jail ponding the
decision of the jury.
Brown was remanded to Jail by
tho ceurt after complnlnt had been
lodged with the court by the attor-
neys for the prosecution that the de-
fendant was permitted to present him-
self to the Jury on diverse and sundry
occasions also it was alleged that
the defendant had mudo threats
against the person of certain of tho
attorneys for the" prosecution.
This Is somewhat out of ordinary
procedure in such cases. Ordinarily
a defendant has been permitted to
stand on his bond until after tho
settlement of the case but the coun-
ty attorney presented the law to the
court that the bond had served its
purpose when 1 ho defendant nppenr-
er for trial nnd was In no wise in
force and effect afterward.
The ense of the Stato vs. Win.
Tubby was called nnd tho Jury en-
rolled. This is the case wherein de-
fendant and Jim Stribllng werechnrg-
ed with killing Matt Hooper of
Thnckcrvllle at the Santa Fe station
In this city on tho 15th day of Feb-
ruary. 1918.
Stribbllng was tried at a former
term of district court and sentenced
to 7 years in tho penitentiary.
Hooper was a well known young
man of Love county jtnd it is alleged
at the lime of the shooting was un-
known personally to either of tho de-
fendants In tho case.
On account of the fact that the
county attorney was an attorney for
tho defendant before becoming coun-
ty attorney he was disqualified from
participating In the case and tho
