Loan Department CONTINUED from page one Buffalo Man Freed; Prisoners, Ex-Guard Convicted by Jury hoe carefully outlined the safeguards American society has thrown up around its citizens to protect them from such crimes as that which threatened the Ponselle sisters, Rosa and Carmela, Lucrezia Bori and Lily Pons, In equally rounded phrases, the Ne- braska jurist limned the various pro- tective devices the same society has provided its individual citizens to guarantee their liberties, liberties which the judge said were as import- ant to the defendants as those of any other person in the court room. Judge Donohce read statutes in- volved in the case word by word, re- viewed the evidence presented and then instructed the jury that there were four different verdicts possibie, one for each of the defendants, ver- dicts which find the defendants in- nocent or guilty on both or one of the two counts in the indictment. ‘Was = Sucker’ “My client was a sucker,” declared Scott Cameron, counsel for Larson, 6 | his at the lifer in the North Dakota peni- tentiary who was charged with being the brains of the alleged plot against the Metropolitan opera songbirds. “My client was taken for a ride hrough the connivance of a prison warden,” Cameron told the jury, ashe asserted the evidence showed Larson had been foiled by prison officials in npts to get back the money he had loaned another prisoner, Clar- ence Alva Anderson, to effect his re- lease, a loan which Anderson had promptly forgotten once he was freed “Where is Anderson?” Cameron in- quired. “Where is this man who said he was a foster son of Rosa Pon- selle? Why hasi’t the government produced him? Referring to lewd pictures that had been found in the Bertillon room at the prison where Larson. had had full control, Cameron declared “We're not trying the perversities that occur in sex-starved men incarcerated under our social system.” Lanier Closes Argument P, W. Lanier, U. 8. district attor- ney, closed the arguments.

Lanier continued with s step-by- step review of the evidence and testi- mony the government had presented. He declared the testimony or the evi- dence, one or the other had corrob- orated what had been offered to prove the men guilty of scheming to “shake- down” the opera stars. Pointing out that it took two or more persons to make a conspiracy, Lanier emphatically stated that the Prosecution had proven beyond a rea- sonable doubt that there had been a conspiracy, that there had been more than two men conspiring, that evi- dence irrefutably linked the con- spirators. Schultz, the 12-year-old former guard whose attorney had made a forceful plea earlier in the day, was singled out for special attention by the district attorney. Hits Schultz’ Testimony “Do you think this defendant Schultz was as dumb as he depicted himself to be on the witness stand?” Lanier asked. “Do you suppose there is a farmer in the state of North Dakota who doesn’t know a crop matures?” Lanier was referring to Schultz denying he knew |! what the word “mature” meant in testimony Wednesday. “Do you suppose there is any man who has served a term in the state legislature, who doesn’t know what the word ‘resolution’ means?” Lan- ier demanded. Following delivery of the case to the jury, the government arraigned four men who changed their pleas of not guilty to guilty. The defendants are Peter Looking Horse, Frank Vogel, John Bayer and Henry Bertsch. On the motion of Harry Lashkowitz, assistant U. 8. district attorney, the court allowed the dismissal of cases against Neil J. Bek, Pay Thielen, Philip Hertz, Joe Douglas, Melvin John, Val Welsgarber, Alex Fetger and Don Barry et al. Harold — Nowadays many couples are omitting the word “obey” from the marriage ceremony.
