who was also convicted of violation! CltlS at Omaha Hospital. ithe beautiful countrv home of Mr.'
of the liquor law at the December!
session of the court.
In the case of the State against
Julia Kaufmann, the defense moved
that a new trial be granted on the
lack of evidence at the trial and er
ror in the instruction of the court at
tne time of the trial of the case.
Judge Raper after hearing the argu
ment in the case overruled the mo
tion for the new trial and proceeded
to pronounce sentence for the of
fense. The court passed sentence of a
fine of $100 and cost3 on count one
of the indictment of which the de
fendant had been found guilty by the
jury, $100 and costs on count two,
$100 and costs on count three and
$100 and costs on count four. The
total fine was $4 0 0 and the cotts of
the case which will be in the neigh
borhood of $123. The court remand
ed the defendnt to the custody of the
sheriff until the fine an3 -costs .were
p?vJ. but on motion of the attorney
fo the defense the sentence was sus
pended pending appeal to the supreme
court and the bond fixed at $900.
The bond for the appeal for Mr3.
Kaufmann was signed by W. A.
Becker and Henry Kaufman.
In the case of former chief of po
lice Alvin Jone3, the defense offered
the same motions for a new trial al
leging the lack of evidence of guilt
of the defendant and errors in the
instructions to the jury and which
were overruled by Judge Raper.
In the case of Mr. Jones he was
charged with malfeasance in office
by the indictment of the grand jury,
in which the counts were that on
July 23, 1923, he failed to arrest
Julia Kaufmann. although he knew
that she was dealing unlawfully in
intoxicating liquors; that on July 10,
122J, he was iu the state of intoxica
tion and that on August 10. 1923.
he had liquor illegally in his posses
sion. The court in passing sentence on
Mr. Jone? assessed a fine of $100 and
costs of prosecution on count one,
$200 and costs on count two, and
$100 and costs on count three of the
indictment. Th costs will run in
the neighborhood of the same
amount as those incurred in the try
ing of the Kaufmann case.

Late This Afternoon.
From Saturday's Daily
This afternoon the equity court
room in the court house was filled
by a breathless crowd that awaited
the decision of Judge A. C. Troup,
who had heard the motions for a new
trial in the Quinton case. The court
in his decision was strong and em
phatic and overruled the motions on
the several propositions raised by the
defense counsel and stated that the
defendant had been given as fair and
unprejudiced trial as possible for a
human court to give and that on the
result of the trial, which had been a
verdict of acquittal on two counts
covering alleged liquor protection,
and conviction on six counts covering
failure to make return of fees proper
ly and having sworn to a false return,
the court would rcrt its judgment
with that of the jui y
In passing the ntcnce Judge
Troup stated that in view of the per
iod covered by the er: 3 and failure
to make reports or ttii.i over fees of
the office, it would be folly to omit
from the sentence thrt of removal
from office and accordingly the court
ordered the defendant removed from
the office of county sheriff and im
posed a fine of $200 a3 set by the
statutes.
