Ostensibly the case la dismissed be-
cauaa soma of tha witnesses for the

but there are persistent reports that
political considerations had aome In

a large political following, and among
a certain element he la still regarded
as a "leader."
Conrad waa tried before a Jury In

asked that the case go over. It went
over from time to time until, early
thla montTt, the dlatrlct attorney re
quested Judge Cleland to dismiss tho
case, stating that the absence of some
of hla witnesses had-so weakened his
case that he could not hope for a con
viction. ' . , ,
As Judire Gantenbeln was the trial
