The court refused to hear his
peal from a oouTlctlon for con
spiracy to sell judicial tarors
■when he was senior judge of the
, federal circuit court of appeals at
Nerw York, on -whlcti he had
serred 28 years.
Jfanton was sentenced last
June to serve two years In prison
and pay a $10,000 Hue—the max-
inui-m sentence under the charge
—hut has been free In $10,000
bail pendtng final appeal. He
might file a petition for a rehear
ing iby the Supreme court within
25 days but the action would not
require the New York court to
grant him a further stay from
prison.
It was reported In New York
that Manton. who occupied the
highest and most venerated judi
cial poet in the nation sihort of
the Supreme court Itself, prob
ably wiU enter prison within a
■week to start serving his sen
tence.
Manton’s fall was without a
narallel in the last three centur
ies of the history of British or
American jurisprudence, no Eng
lish-speaking judge of such rank
having been similarly stigmatized
since Francis Bacon, lord chan-
4l5ollor of England, was deprived
of office more than 300 years
ago.
In the trial the government
offered evidence that Manton’s
decisions had hc'n influenced by
direct and Indirect bribes run

Thompson said he favored re

of the state.
“At this time,” Thonxpson said
in a statement, "we cannot af
ford to spend $50,000,000 on new
highways because . . . We’ are a
very poor state, and if we were
in position to spend $50,000,000
on highways we certainly could
arrange to discontinue the pres;-
ent 3 per cant sales tax.
“I am bitterly oi^MMed to the

also favor the state highway pa

in order to remove politics as
much as possible . . . North Car

banks, who re.sents her presence
because of its demoralizing effect
upon his men. Joan is equally
spiteful toward him. So they fall
in love.
However, the plot requires an
attack by savages, the death of
two members of the camp and
strained relations among all the
others to bring about this transi

Tucson, Feb. 26.—General J. J
Pershing believes that had the al

al surrender in 1918 Europe
would be at peace today.
In an Interview the 79-year-old
general declared events since the
World war armistice had justified
his stand at the time.
He sent a document to the al
lied supreme war council October
30, 1918, setting forth reasons
why he believed an armistice then
was ill advised.
In It he asserted by accepting
the principals of negotiating
peace rather than, dictating peace
the allies would “jeO'pardlze their
moral position they now hold and
possibly lose the chance actually
to secure world peace on terms
that ■'vould secure it permanent
ly.”

Los Angeles. Feb. 26.—Did
you ever dream that a wild ani
mal was attacking you and then
wake up and find a raccoon had
a toe hold—with his teeth—on
you?
Probably not, so listen to the
testimony of Elvis V. Todd, who
is suing raccoon owner J. H. Kerr
tor $2,000:
“We had guests and I was
sleeping on the davenport. I was
awakened by an animal biting my
big toe. I thought I was dream
ing. I kicked at it with my other
toot and I felt fur!
“Then we wrestled. I finally
got a leg scissors around him and
we rolled off the davenport. But
the thing kept coming on, trying
to get another hold. It bit me on
the leg, too.
“Finally my wife rushed in.
When she turned on the light, I
could see the best and get hold
of it. I slammed the raccoon a-
gainst the wall, but he came at
me again. We rushed out of the
room and slammed the door.
“The police came after a while
and they caught the beast.”
Todd says that for months aft
er the attack, which occurred in
September, 1938, he could get no
restful sleep because his dreams
were’haunted by ferocious wild
animals advancing to attack him.
The raccoon died.
