VOL.' XLIX No. 132 ANDREW MAY CONVICTEDON THREE COUNTS , ; WASHINGTON, July 3,T(UP) 'Andrew J. May and the muni-tion-making Garsson brothers - were ' convicted by a Federal . court today of war-time bribery, fraud and conspiracy. . The jury deliberated only an, hour and fifty minutes. The former Kentucky Congressman and his co-defendants Dr. Henry M. and Murray Garsson face a possible maximum sentence of six years in prison and $30,000 fines each. The three defendants were found guilty on all three counts of bribery, fraud, and conspiracy, as charged in the indictment. ' Chief Defense Counsel Charles ; J. Margiotti said ha would file within five days for a judgment of acquittal for ali three defendants on the basis that the trial should not have gone to the jury, and ask for a new trial. It was expected that the date for the sentencina would be set for sometime during the week beginning July 13, as it was un derstood that Judge Schweinhaut intended to take a week's vacation before returning to his duties. ' 'Hastings Warns r Wild Animal Pet Requires Permit, INDIANAPOLIS, lnd., July 3 If you find a wild animal in your back yard and decide to make a pet of it, check first with .l. r.,: ' . iijc inuiiiuu ucuui inieiii ui tunservation, and find out if you are operating within the law. Ernest Hastings, chief conservation officer for the department, has sent a warning to his 76 game wardens reminding them of the ten-year-old law "any and all wild birds or animals, protected by law, that are picked up in the wild, under any circumstances during the closed season, a pet permit or breeder's license cannot be issued." Hastings explained his com- . munique became necessary because "about two dozen" letters were received in four days, letters asking for raccoon pet permits which cannot be issued at his time. Only from November 15 to January 15 is it legal to capture or destroy raccoon except in the case of persons holding a breeder's license, although hundreds of orphans are found every year. . "If you find a baby 'coon during the open season," Hastings said, "we will give you a pet permit, free, but if you show up with one during the closed season, we don't ,know whether you secured, it in a humane fashion. Many' persons do not know this, but if one young raccoon is stolen from the den, the mother will kill the others." Crippled Children Group To Meet Soon

Announce Squirrel Season; Open 1 River Fishinc INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 3 In a series of discretionary orders the Indiana Department of Conservation today established the 1947 squirrel season, opened sections of the White and Wabash rivers to year-around fishing and closed indefinitely the season on prairie chicken. Donald R. Hughes, Fish and Game director, said the squirrel season will run from Aug. 15 through Oct. 13 for fox and gray squirrels only. Bag limit is five per day, aggregate. Inasmuch as state statute would have automatically opened the season on prairie chicken Oct. 15, Hughes issued a second order indefinitely closing it. Prairie chicken, or pinnated grouse, are practically extinct in Indiana with a single colony inhabiting a few acres in Newton county. Discretionary Order No. 29 opens fishing the year-around in the Wabash from the corporate limits of the city of Lafayette to the confluence of the Wabash and the Ohio. Also opened was the White River below the junction of the East and West Forks to its confluence with the Wabash'. Seining will still be prohibited from the 21st of April until the 30th of June in both rivers. Conservation Dept. Forms Kankakee Advisory Group ' INDIANAPOLIS, ' Ind., July 3.
