St. Louis, Oct. 23 .— In the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, the case of Col. John A. Joyce, which has been in progress for several days, was concluded this afternoon, and the jury returned a verdict of guilty on all four counts of the indictment. The first two counts charge Joyce with having knowledge or information of

VIOLATION OF THE REVENUE LAW

by Feineman & Co., distillers, of Kansas City, in not making entries in their books as required by law, and of emptying packages without canceling, and not reporting the same to his superior officers. The third count charges him with having knowledge that Sheehan & Son, distillers, of St. Joseph, distilled spirits with a view to defraud the United States of the revenue tax.

The fourth count charges him with conspiring and colluding with Edwd. Sheehan to defraud the government. The penalties on each count of the indictment are

IMPRISONMENT IN THE PENITENTIARY

of not less than six months and not more than three years, and a fine of not less than $1,000 and not more than $5,000, and to be forever debarred from holding under the United States government any office of honor, trust or profit.

A motion for a new trial was made by Joyce's counsel which will be argued next week. The motion for a new trial in the case of John L. Bittinger, who was convicted some days ago for making fraudulent vouchers as U. S. Gauger, will be argued Wednesday next, and a like motion in the case of Adler & Furst on Saturday next.

Col. Joyce was placed in the custody of the United States Marshal after the jury had rendered the verdict, but he has the freedom of the city.
