After spending several months in the Idaho state penitentiary, George H. Waterman, convicted last spring of making a false re- port to the state commissioner of finance, will probably be releas- ed as a result of the reversal Friday, October 27 by the su- preme court of the decision send- ing him to the penitentiary. The supreme court order sends the case back to the district court for anew trial and state legal officials believe that he will be turned ov er to the custody of the sheriff of the county from which he was sentenced and re- leased under bail. Waterman was president of the State Bank of Kamiah in Lewis county at the time J. G. Fralick, state commissioner of finance, issued a call upon all state banks for a report showing their condition at the close of business May 4, 1920. Waterman submitted his report May 14 of that year and it is this report which is alleged he knowingly made false for the purpose of conceaing the real condition of the bank, which later closed. Numerous Errors Cited. In the brief to the supreme Waterman alleged to have the trial court cite 27 errors been made by | When the case was heard in May |of this year. Chief of these | deal with the alleged prejudice of | the judge, his denial of a motion for a new judge and his refusal to allow the defendant to teke depositions from witnesses resid- ing outside the state. The case was tried before the Hon. Wallace N. Scales, judge of the Tenth judicial district. “The facts set forth as the ground for charging bias and prejudice against the trial judge tre not denied.” says the court, “and while the trial judge, in view of the situation presented by the affidavits supporting the motion for a change of judge, might with propriety have grant ed the application for trial be- fore another judge, we are not prepared to say that the denial of the motion was erroneous. There is no statute authorizing a change of judge ina criminal case on the ground of bias or prejudice, and counsel for appel- lant rely upon the constitutional provision of this state that ‘right and justice shall be admin- isered without sale, denial, delay | or prejudice.’ This provision has | been held by this court to be self-executing. The supreme court held that the lower court committed rever- | sible error when it refused to allow Waterman to take a depos- ition from his brother, Frank W. Waterifan, residing in Spokane. The record shows, the decision continues, that efforts were made to have Frank Waterman come to Nezperce and testify in his brother’s hehaif but he could not be brought to the Idaho court. Attorneys for Waterman also alleged in the appeal that the trial judge made repeated state- ments during the impaneling of the jury and also in instructing the jury to the effect that the allegation of the information | detecting the {them out yourself. | be mailed announcing the date that the alleged false report was made “with the attempt and in- instrument} tent to deceive the commissioner of finance is not material and need not be proven by the state.” The court says this matter could well have been disposed of without so much discussion and controversy as appears in the re- dadliber of the nents innit to bel written to Waterman by the error because they were immat- erial and were written many months before the alleged false report was made and had no direct bearing on the charge under which he was being tried. The trial court also admitted a letter written by Waterman under date of May 22, 1920, over the objection of the appellant. The contents of this letter were also immaterial, the court said, and should not have been admit- ted in evidence. REGULAR MEETING NOV. 14. The Chronicle has been re- quested to call the attention of the members of the Community Farm Club to the fact that the regular meeting of the club will be held at the Odd Fellows hall on Tuesday, November 14th, this being the first meeting of the fall and winter season. County Agent Grayson will be present and several matters of import- ance will be up for considera- tion. It is planned to outline a program for the winter months and all members ave urged to be present and lend their assistance in this work. Do not confuse this business meeting with the card party being held tonight, asthe latter is purely a social event. The business session of the club will start promptly at 1:30 p. m. and all should be pre- sent at that hour. YATES-MILLER. William H. Miller of Green- creek, and Miss Margaret Yates, daughter of Dave Yates, of Winona were united in marriage at the home of Wm. Ingram ia Grangeville, Thursday, October 26, by Rev. W. N. Knox. The marriage wes celebrated by a community dance at Winona given by the brid»’s father: A bie crowd of friends and well wisher: atteyded the function, many persons being present from Cottonwood, Kooskia and other parts of the county.“Uncele | Dave” surely saw to. it that | everybody had a dandy time and | it was well on towards morning when the festivities were brought to aclose. May the family of Miller prosper in the land.—Kooskia Mountaineer. 144 “LOAFING” HENS. The county agent held several culling demonstrations the past week. A total of 228 birds were handled with 144 taken out as} culls, showing 63 per cent of poor layers. This is about the average of boarder hens found | in most flocks. Meetings will be held this week and next in several more communities in an effort to reach every one inter- ested in improving the porduc- tion of their poultry. It will not be possible to ac- comodate all the people wanting culling done, but if you will at- tend one of these meetings you can learn the fundamentals of loafer and cull Cards will and place of the meetings in the several communities. ACC EPTS POSITION. F. G. Denslow of Reubens, Idaho haa accepted the position of bookkeeper with the First National Bank of this city to fill the position of Frank Albers who has heen promoted to assistant cashier to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of J. V. Nash who is now employed by the government. Mr. Denslow will NEWS AROUND THE STATE ITEMS OF INTEREST FROM VARIOUS PARTS OF THE STATE Idaho has dropped from sec- ond place in 1920 to fifth place in 1922 in wool production of the country. The 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Harris of the Glen- wood vicinity was accidently shot and killed Tuesday by his younger brother when they were playing in their home alone. The paving of the state high- way from the state line east to Coeur d'Alene through Post Falls was completed Tuesday, but it is open for traffic from the state line to Post Falls. The city of Kéllogg-Wardner, in Idaho, does not like its comb- ination name, and Tuesday re- quested the Idaho public utilities commission to start the neces- sary action to cut off the Ward- ner part and rename the city Kellogg. Boise business men will ask the next legislature to make a suitable biennial appropriation for the support of the state fair held annually in Boise. An amount has been fixed at $40,- 000 as necessary to manage the fair for two years. Installation of a filtration plant to purify water taken from the Clearwater river for city use will be the solution of the water problem, said City Water Superintendent E. G. Wagner of Lewiston. The plant, with en- largements of the water system, will cost $350,000, Prediction that the third party movement will sweep the coun- try in 1924 “unless there is a complete change of program on the part of the Republican party by the adoption of a liberal and constructive policy,” was made by United States Senator Wm. E. Borah last Thursday. A choice strip of land in the center of the town was donated to the village of Craigmont for a city park and tourist camp, by | the Craigmont Real Estate com- | pany. The ground lies between the Craigmont Motor company and the railroad tracks and is an ideal site for a park. Al Green was found dead in his cabin near Elk City, accord- ing to a report received from Elk City Monday, death having resulted from natural causes it is thought. Deputy Sheriff Arnold and Coroner A. J. Maugg, left for Elk City to make an investi- gation. No details of his condi- tion were available. Mick Smith of Juliaetta died Friday just before reaching Ken- drick, where he was being taken for treatment after a tree which he was cutting on Cedar creek fell upon him, crushing his body. When the tree started to fall, Mr. Smith began to run, but be- ing somewhat feeble, he stumb- led over a stone and was caught by the tree before he could rise. Miss Agnes Cranston of Sand- point, mysteriously shot through the neck Saturday noon, is doing well at the city hospital and will recover, her physician stated.
