eil, which he represented in the trial, Immel further asked that the students be placed on strict probation, subject to expulsion for breach of probation requirements.
Expenses which the defendants will be assessed if the court follows. Immel's recommendations total $44,200, according to a letter from Manhattan authorities. A $23.80 charge by the Riley county sheriff for returning the men to Lawrence, and a $18 expenditure for management which the men spread on campus property, make up the total bill.
In a surprise move at the opening of the hearing, Eddie Rice, 3rd l., attorney for the defense, announced that Charles Fleming, one of the "non-student" defendants, is Raymond Napier, e'40, who had given the name Fleming as an alias at the time of the arrest in Manhattan.
Decision To Affect All Seven
The decision of the Student court will be passed on to the M.S.C. for approval and then to Chancellor E. H Lindley for final sanction. Don Voorhees, c38, president of M.S.C. will receive an announcement of the verdict would be made before the final ruling of the Chancellor.
The discovery of Napier's identity will not change his status in the final decision, it was brought out in the trial, because all seven defendants will be affected by the court's sentence. Through a provision in the Student court charter, persons who are not University students, involved in any case heard by the court, may be governed by its decision by declaring their willingness to submit to its jurisdiction.
Two Hours Questioning
In a further step toward elimination of testimony, Immel, on behalf of the Student Council, permitted the supposition that the men did not know of an interschool pact abolishing such pre-game activities as painting the rival campus, to be introduced as a fact in the case.
Completion of the questioning in two hours was made possible by concessions on the part of both counsels. Tom Ise, 3rd l. chief justice of the court, stated at the opening of the meeting that it was to enable members of the body to determine the penalty, rather than to prove or disprove facts of the case. In keeping with that policy, each of the seven men admitted participation in the painting of the K.S. team was given a greater amount of questioning.
Besides Iac, the chief justice, members of the student court who will review a case must be 1. Herman Smith, 2. l Philip Nohe, c.33, and Bill Gough, 3. l
