Th final chapter la tba lengthy pro
cedure required ; before th authorities
suooeeded In' sending Charles (alias
"Chick") 'Houghton to th penitentiary

Spenoer, the assistant district attorney,
had th noted prisoner brought before

other preparations made looking to sand
ing Houghton to Salem tonight

sat aside. Houghton was then tried for
robbery -. and convicted, receiving the
maximum sentence of five years. Hla
counsel again appealed, contending that
whan tba verdict for the minor offense
was set aside the major waa included.
Tba auprems court bald that Houghton
had waived hja rights by going ta trial
on the minor charge, though the law

he was sentenced to serve six months
at hard labor .In the county Jail. . An
appeal was taken and the supreme court
held that the atata courts had no right
