Convicted

Federal Judge George M. Bourquin pronounced sentence upon Gordon Campbell, onetime client of Senator

Wheeler: two years at Leavenworth, $1,000 fine. The crime was use of the mails in fraudulent promotion of an oil company. The jury had deliberated 29 hours.

So shocked were people in Montana, among whom Mr. Campbell's picturesque figure has long been popular, that they began immediately to raise money to carry the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals.
