INDICTMENTS ARE RETURNED GRAND JURY Federal Court at Joplin Has Opened For Busy Term's Work. SUDDEBURG HAS BEEN SENT TO ASYLUM. Bankruptcy Proceedings Against) Arch W. Canada Go to Referee. Federal court for the January term is in session in Joplin.

Judge Smith McPherson of Counell Bluffs, presiding. In his charge to the grand jury Judge McPherson urged careful deliberations, advising against the reof indictments against innocent persons. He declared that it was serious affair for an indictment to be found under any condition, and that to place a charge against a person not guilty of having committed crime is deplorable at the least. Seceral indictments have been found by the jury on the opening day. In each Instance, it 18 said, the charges were for violation alleged to have been committed by defendants 1 in cases now pending trial during the present term.

A number of witnesses were before the jury during the day, but all of the indictments were found during the morning. The grand jury is expected to report with a comparatively small number of indictments having been returned: Its members are E. F. Buchner, Peirce City; George Heckart, Iantha; Joel T.

Canada. The defendant had asked for a jury trial, but when the case was called counsel for the petitioners and Canada, also, waived jury hearing and the suit was refereed to Attorney E.

J. White of Aurora, who will set as referee and render -a decision. The opening session was featured 1 by the trial of Henry Scrogins, charged with failing to furnish a census entimerator with information asked him, and the case against William J. Lance of Arnett, charged with having used mails to defraud. "JUST LET 'ER GO," HE SAID.

The case against Scrogina resulted in verdict of guilty being returned by the jury. Judge McPherson assessing fine of $5 and costs against him. Twenty minutes were taken up by the Jury in reaching a decision, and after the body had reported the court asked the defendant of he had any stateto make 8.8 to why judgement should not be passed upon him at the time. "I have not," replied Scrogins. "Just let 'er go." "You are very easy to please," said Judge.

McPherson. "While I am not going to fine you very much, probably ten years from now you will answer the questions which the government has a right to know." An expert witness was placed on the stand by the government soon after the case against Lance was called, in the person of J. F. Sherman, deputy clerk of the United States court, stationed at Wichita, Kan. Lance is charged with having written a letter to the First National bank at Rogers, with the name of J.

F. Laughlin as the purport. ed signature. Laughlin carried deposit in the bank and the letter his forged signature contained asked that the bank send $1,175 by registered mall to John T. Vance at Arnett.

DENIES WRITING THE SECOND LETTER. After the money had reached Ar- nett, Lance is said to have visited the post master there and conversed with him relative to the registered letter The following day, It is charged by the federal officers, he wrote a second letter to the bank, signing his correct name, informing them that the regis. tered package had never been called and, as a robbery was probable, it should be returned. For this information Lance asked a commission of ten per cent of the sum the letter contained. With the receipt of the second letter the bank officials notified government officers.

Lance was arrested by Postoffice Inspector Hodge. The two letters, were introduced as evidence in case against Lance. Counsel for the defendant admitted their clinet was the sender of the first epistle, but commend that he is not guilty of the sending of the other. EXPERT GIVES TESTIMONY. To place before the jury a fact that Lance composed and sent both letters, the government has caused their witness, Sherman, to take protographs of the two letters and to show the simflarity of certain letters and figures in the two epistles.

With a blackboard and crayon Sherman copied certain individual characteristics in the writing and pointed them out to the court and Jury, afterward introducing three enlargemente of a word from the two letters. The word selected by Sherman in his study and, work on the letters was one intended for "registered." It was miaspelled by the writer, being In both instances. Dwelling strongly upon this feature of their evidence, District Attorney Lyons and As.
