Show Trial Held For Fighting Youths The three C C C boys who engaged engag-ed in the fight with Gil'bert and Walter McCulley the night of April 21, following the Milford high school Junior Prom, were brought to trial this Wednesday in the Beaver City court room, before William Willden, Beaver precinct justice, into whose court the case was taken on application of the defendants for a change of venue from the local justice court. The trial lasted all of Wednesday Wednes-day and was resumed Thursday in Milford, due to the fact that the judge and jury had to come to Milford Mil-ford to hear the testimony of Reon Brown, one of the defendants, who has been ill for some time with measles. After two hours of deliberation Thursday afternoon, the jury reached a verdict of guilty in the cases of Brown and Beauford Wad-dell, Wad-dell, ibut acquitted Freeman McCarthy. McCar-thy. Waddell and Brown were each sentenced to 30 days in the county jail, but, on request of Lieutenant Rupert Ingram, company commander, com-mander, the company doctor and Theodore Bonn, defense attorney, Brown, due to the fact that he has tuberculosis, was given the alternative alter-native of paying a $100 fine in lieu of the jail sentence. George Miller, county attorney, and Sam Cline, associate counsel for the state, r-greed to this concession in the case of Brown; but Justice Willden would not suspend Waddell's sentence sen-tence nor give him the'alternative of paying a fine.
