The second Indictment waa tried In April, 1205, Juat a year later than the first, and Burton was again found guilty and sentenced to six months In Jail at Ironton, Mo., and to pay a fine of the amount being tha same aa the fee alleged to have been received -quick" by Burton from the get-ric- h concern.
