Show REWARD OFFERED Blf STATE LEGAL: Salt Lake. April 20. A total of ' $2,000 Js offered In rewards for the arrest ar-rest and conviction of the perpetrators of the dynamite outrage at the Ttah hotel. These are lnsume of $1.00" by tho Utah Hotel company and of $500 each by the Structural iron Workers' I union and the state of Utah. Tho 1 county commissioners did not offer ' any reward, nor did tho city, thougli It has been stated that a reward was offered by the former. Somebody seems to have reached the conclusion that the reward offered by the state Is illegal, and that tha perpetrators cannot be punished for more than malicious mischief, which Is but a misdemeanor. In that case no reward could be offered by the state. Attorney General A. R. Barnes takeR a different view of the outrage. Ho anid thiij morning that though he had not yet been asked for any opinion, I the outrage might readily come under the section of the law providing directly di-rectly for the punishment of such offenses of-fenses and relating to use of infernal machines and explosives. I The statutes In this connection provide pro-vide punishment of twenty-five years' ! Imprisonment, and In another section of five years. These are to be found j in the Complied Laws of Utah and are I numbered from 4487x to 1487x3. |
