Appeal From Conviction Anticipated Lea than 15 minutes and only one ballot were required Friday morning for a circuit court trial Jurj to convict Lewis H. Ankeny, 37-year-old former Klamath Falls stockbroker, of larceny by bailee m connection with his now-bankrupt Ankeny and company brokerage business. The Jury vote wa unanimous. Ankeny will be sentenced May IS and is free on a continued bond of 15000 cash until that time. He faces a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. Appeal Indicated However, hi attorney, Ben An derson of Portland, hinted broadly that he would seek to appeal the conviction. He asked for considerable time to arrange for "further pro ceedings." Ankeny wa convicted of misap propriating something over (1600 given him in August, 1946. by Gus Anderson of Klamath Fall to buy for Anderson 35 shares of Marshall Field company stock. Anderson tes tified he never received the stock. The defense attempted to shift the blame to a San Francisco brok erage firm which. Attorney Ander son contended, had forced Ankenv Into a financial corner and then grabbed much of hi personal and company assets, making it impos sible for Ankeny to make good on his commitment to Anderson and to other creditor. Ankeny On Stand . The prosecution, led by Attorney TJ. 8. Balentine, charged that An keny continued to. take in money j-honvcreditrJr after the San Fran- ctsco firm had almost broken him and that he did not deliver stock promised for the money. Ankeny wa the only witness for the defense called Vnd he was on the stand for three hours Thurs day. After the direct testimony. At torney Anderson's final argumen's attacked four points of the prose cution's case, including the char acter of one of the witnesses, H. E Hauger. Anderson pictured his client as beset by avaricious creditors who lost In stock market transactions and were out for revenge. He also took Prosecutor Balentine to task for allegedly trying to con ceal a slip of paper which Anderson wanted to bring into the trial as evidence. Balentine assertedly had the paper in his pocket and pro duced it on call. He denied trying to "purloin" evidence. Another point attacked was the indictment phrase "lawful money of the United States." The money was In the form of a check which An derson said wa not money at all. but bank credit. Circuit Judge David R. Vandenberg did not hold to that interpretation. Anderson also claimed In his ar gument that the prosecution did not produce the best witnesses and evidence available and therefore the evidence and testimony pro duced should be "viewed with distrust."
