SENTENCE ON MONDAY
Gets .Time to Close Affairs
Before Paying Penalty
for Violation of
Mann Law.
PORTLAND, Ore., May 19.
Horace Greeley Wilton of
Roseburg, former Indian agent
at Klamath reservation, this af
ternoon pleaded guilty after an
effort to obtain a postponment
of his trial.
Federal Judge R. S. Bean
said he would defer imposition
of sentence until next Monday,
in order to give Wilson time to
arrange his affairs.
(AmtrMrA Prm Lruxl Wire.)
PORTLAND. Ore.. May 19.
Federal JuiIko C. E. Uean this
morning overruled the motion of
Horace Cireely Wilson of Itoseburg
former Klamath Indian agent, for
third postponement of his trial
on elm runs of violating the Mann
. Ant Wilson had asked a further
delay of bIx months.
"This appeal coming on the eve
of trial comes'too late." declared
Judge Bean. "Tho fact that the
defendant Is without money Is no
ground for postponing a criminal
trial. If this ground would be up
held, it would not be long until,
this excuse would be used to post
pone every criminal Arial that Is
set."
Judge nean slated that the rase
had already been postponed sever
al times upon the request ot the
defendant, and that "there Is no
assurance he will be any more
ready for trial at the end of six
months than he is today."
Wilson offered an affidavit that
averred he had tried to sell his
land in order to get money for his
defense, that he had been unable
to do so, that his first attorney had
quit and that his present counsel,
I.. II. Sandblast, of Portland, had
only had the case a few days, that
he could not bring witnesses hero
to combat the first three counts in
the Indictment and that It would
be necessary for him to have six
months In order to prepare the de
fense. In replying Assistant United
Stales Attorney Joseph Stearns
declared: "The govVmment has.
shown the defendant every con
sideration. Hut I have on most
excellent authority that Mr. Wil
son openly boasted on the streets
of his home In Koseburg that this
case would never come to trial. I
have been Informed that during
the time he was supposed to be
traveling about getting his wit
nesses and trying to sell his prop,
ertv, he was play'ng cards in the
club In Koseburg."
Stearns said the government
has spent more than $5,iHin bring
ing witnesses frqin Washington,
New York. Chicago. Minneapolis,
Los Angeles and other places.
