r
I
V
Jade Manner Gives Attorney Kole
for Defendants Tea Day
to Prepare Motion for
New Trial.
John Krause and Herman Krause riave
been found guilty Jointly of maintaining
and enclosing certain public lands, appro
priating 4,6X) acres In Sheridan county,
Nebraska, also of asserting an exclusive
right to the use of such public lands and
of preventing the free public access to and
across such public lands.
John Krause Is found additionally guilty
of Intimidating Theodore Osborn. Edward
Whetstone and other settlers from entering
and from free transit to and across certain
publlo lands by threats and other intimi
dating means, In the vicinity of the Osborn
homestead on section 85, township 26, range
40, on what is known as the Krause broth
ers' south or summer range. No conviction
of Intimidation was found against Herman
Krause.
The trial of which this verdict la the re.
suit has been on in the United States dis
trict court for the eight days last past and
Is the first trial and conviction of cases of
this character yet held In the United 8tates
district court for the district of Nebraska.
The case was principally prosecuted by Spe
cial District Attorney 9. It. Rush under the
direction of District Attorney Baxter. The
attorneys for the Krauses were L. C. Nole
man and C. C. Barker of Alliance, Neb.
Esaentlnl Points of Kvldence.
The essential points of evidence were
worked out by Special Agcn DeFrees of
the United States land department, assisted
very materially by Mrs. Bessie Osborn, a
homesteader, wife of Theodore Osborn, liv
ing within the Krause brothers' enclosure.
The case was given to the Jury Thursday
noon and a sealed verdict was returned at
10:30 p. m. Thursday night and was read
in open court at 9 o'clock Friday morning.
Tho conviction of the accused Is on seven
of the fourteen counts of the consolidated
indictments. The first indictment was
found by the federal grand Jury In No
vember, 1903, this Indictment comprising
four counts. Tho first count was of a
technical character and was nolled. The
second count was of a not particularly es
sential character and a verdict of not
guilty was given on both th second and
fourth counts, which latter was of a gen
eral technical character alBo. A verdict of
guilty was, however, returned against both
defendants on the third count of the first
Indictment, which charges "maintaining
and enclosing by certain fences publlo
lands and thereby preventing free passage
to the publlo to and over them."
The accused are found Jointly guilty on
the third and eighth counts of the second
indictment, which was returned during the
May term, 1905, of the federal grand Jury.
These two counts charge "maintaining an
enclosure and obstructing a free passage
to certain public lands," not described In
the first Indictment.
Detail of the Verdict.
John Krause Is found Individually guilty
In addition to the third and eighth counts
of the second Indictment, of the fifth and
seventh counts of the same Indictment.
Both defendants were found guilty of the
first and third counts of the third Indict
ment, which was returned In May, 1906, and
refer to lunds not described In the first and
second indictments. ,
These two counts charge. In the first, of
"maintaining and enclosure around about
4,500 acres of public lands," and, in the
second count, of "assorting an exclusive
right to the use of such public lands."
Attorney Nolcman, upon the announce
ment of the verdict, gave notice that he
would file a motion for a rehearing of the
case and asked that he be furnished a
complete transcript In the case.
Judge Munger gave Mr. Noleman ten days
to prepare his motion.
The penalty fixed by the United States
statutes In such cases Is a maximum fine
of 11,000 and imprisonment for one year for
each offense.
BAXTER TALKS OF THE OUTCOME
Says
Effect Will Da to Compel
Obedience to Ijw.
United States District Attorney Baxter
said Friday morning in reference to the
verdict against the Krause brothers:
"The effect will be far reaching and is an
evidence that the Department of Justice
intends prosecuting all of these cases to the
end. Special Agent DcFrees, with Special
Agents Chambers of Iowa and Nixon of
Kansas will start out at once into the cattle
country to hunt up additional evidence of
Illegal fencing. I do not know Just which
case we shall tuke up next. We had ar
ranged for the Bartlett Richards case, but
as you know, a continuance was granted
In that case until the November term of
court. In the meanwhile additional sur
veys will have to be made to fortify the
indictments already presented in order that
we can bo made sure of our premises. It
Is the Intention of the department to go
Into every section and district where Illegal
fences are reported to exist and we will
begin civil stilts against all offenders at the
next term of court. Wherever It can be
shown that any acts of Intimidation have
been practiced toward thu homesteaders by
the cattlemen by denying them access to
I-ubllo lands or to restrlrt their lights In
any manner we shall institute crlmtnnl pro
ceedings against the offenders and will
prosecute them most vigorously. We shall
get after the Illegal fencers, big and little.
We expect to get our surveys completed In
the present cases now under indictment by
the first week in July. Tho present term
of court will continue until the middle of
July.
"The effect of the conviction In the
Krause brothers case will be to compel the
cattlemen to comply with the law in refer
ence to taking down their unlawful fences.
Any one of them who shows a willingness
to take down their fences will be given a
reasonable time to do it, but the govern
ment will not permit any dallying. In
brief, the Illegal fences have got to come
down."

NEW JURY NEXT MONDAY
Last Three Weeks of Conrt Before the
Summer Arijoarnment Promise
to He Dosy Ones.
The new petit Jury will report to Judge
Day on Monday. This will be the last Jury
called before the adjournment of court for
the summer vacation, and those cases
which are not brought to trial during the
next three weeks will perforce go over to
the October term.
During the last three weeks muchtlmo
has been wasted through the failure of
attorneys to get together to try their
cases, or because they were too busy to
do so. As a consequence very few cases
have been disposed of and the court dockets
of the four law Judges are loaded down
with untried cases. It Is expected that, as
usual, there will be a rush to get to trial
during the next three weeks and the dis
trict court rooms in the county building
promise to be busy places. The equity
dockets are pretty well cleared up so far
as urgent cases are concerned.

YEISER FILES NEW CLAIM FOR CLIENT
Attorney for Woman Attacks Con
stitutionality of Law Under Which
Woman is Detained In
Count? Jail.
Mrs. .Lillian Algoe, tne confessed black
mailer, appeared before Judge Day again
just before noon Friday, being brought In
on a writ of habeas corpus directed to
Sheriff Power. The writ was asked for by
Attorney John O. Yelser, the attorney
named to defend the woman on the charge
of blackmail, to which she pleaded guilty
and on which Hhe was fined 1260.
In his petition for the writ Mr. Telser
sets up that Mrs. Algoe ts unlawfully de
prived of her liberty under the sentence
Imposed by the court, the not having paid
the flue. The attorney contends that the
statute under which the fine was Imposed
is unconstitutional, being so broad In its
terms that, In the language of the petition,
it defines blackmail as being any threat of
exposure, which would include the exposure
incidental to the prosecution of a legitimate
claim for damages. It is also contended
that a cause In action is personal property
and tlmt the statute would deprive a per
son of property without due process of law.
Judjje Day having to go to Lincoln at
once, to be absent until Saturday afternoon,
asked Judge Redlck to hear the argu
ment on the application for the writ.
Argument in the case was postponed until
Saturday morning. This decision was
reached only at a late hour this afternoon,
the state nut being ready.
