PRISON S BE E OF TWO YEARS IS , GIVEN BIGAMIST John M. McCIeery, at various times in trouble with the criminal lawa of Oregon., will again become familiar with the interior of the state penitentiary. He was sentenced by Circuit Judge McCourt, Monday, to two years in prison for bigamy. Th court told McCIeery, who i only 2, that the only way society can protect itself against him is to place him In prison.' McCIeery has a criminal record. He was first sentenced to from 2 to 20 years for forgery, but secured a parole He then stole some jewelry and was . i .., n nrUnn hut affnin iuriirpri BOTH f lu I" "''" - r, a parole In February. 1917. He had been out of prison but two months -when be married Ids Bo rue, 7 and to them j two children were born. ' There is one child of 2 years and . a baby 4 months old.- He then deserted bis wife and was arrested for non-support and sen tenced to one year's imprisonment, but was paroled. It was while he was out on this parole that he married Bernice Tolly, early last May. The fact that at the time of the wedding ceremony, when he gave the name of "J. M. Mlary." he stum bled over its pronunciation, caused the minister later to become suspicious. He hunted up the father of the girl and told him of the wedding. The father, Frank Tolly, of 419 Webster street, took his daughter home. and warned the young man to keep off the premises. Then followed the indictment for big amy and the culmination ' Monday of the penitentiary sentence of two years. The mother of McCIeery was a wit ness at the second wedding, and she was before the grand jury later on a charge of perjury, since she had signed the marriage records as a witness that there was no legal Impediment to the marriage. The grand jury, however, failed to return an indictment against her.

Beaty and Albert B. Ferrara, In which he seeks to secure the return of money and property which he alleges was se cured from him under compulsion and abuse, and against his will, and without cause, and while he was in great fear for his personal safety. He alleges he was held in the office of Attorney Fer rara and there threatened with being sent to the penitentiary. This is the outcome of a case wherein Lemma alleged that his store safe had been robbed for a series of weeks and finally a detective was set to watch. Mattio is alleged to have been caught as he took a $20 bill from the safe. O-W. U. & X. AND FEDERAIi DIRECTOR II IX ICS ACCUSED A suit is on trial in Circuit Judge Gatens court, before a Jury. In which Hassen Zeloff seeka to recover from the Oregon-Washington Railroad & Nav igation company and Walker D.
