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."
