George Heyen, Gage county farm er who was sentenced to nine months in pri.son and to pay a $200 fine for harboring Carl Erickson, Johnny Brown and Dewaine Brennan, bank robbers, was held by the supreme court Thursday to have been prop erly convicted, and that- the jury having rejected his story that he had no knowledge of their crime, he must serve the sentence imposed. The three men robbed the Farm ers State bank of Cortland of $1,875 on April 6, 1925, by holding up everybody in the institution, and pro ceeded immediately to the Heye farm in the same county, while officers were searching for them. Brown had previously made arrangements to stay there, saying that they were running booze from Wymore. They remained there four of five days. They made their cscatie"at the' time, but were later caught-and convicted. Heyen was prosecuted after Erick son had been tried and given a ten to twenty-five year sentence, and one of the arguments of his attorney was that he could not be convicted until after the principals had been adjudg ed guilty. To get away from the fact that one had been convicted, It was claimed this had been illegal, because he was given an indeterminate sen tence instead of a definite one, as the law provides, but the court, In an opinion by Justice Rose, says that this does not make the record of con viction inadmissible as evidence. It was also claimedthat as the law makes it an offense to harbor a man who has been charged with or found guilty of a felony, Hayen could not be prosecuted as Erickson had not been charged with the crime. The court brushes this aside, saying that It was not the legislature's in tention to make the committing of a For sale at tha Bates Book and Stationery Store crime its own vindication. It means any subsequent proceedings. The evidence, which included ad missions of Heyen and the fact that his wife accepted $40 pay from the men for their stay, is held to be suffi cient to sustain the jury's judgment. They had learned before the men left that they were the Cortland bank robbers but said they were fearful of doing or saying anything and not knowing what to do did nothing. His attorney objected to the introduction of . evidence showing he had received a newspaper telling of the crime, but the court said that a newspaper, properly addressed and mailed, is presumed as a matter of evidence to have reached the addressee in the usual course of the mails. The pun ishment is held not to be excessive. CIVILIANS ARE STARVING Hankow, China, Oct. 1.
