Lander County District Court Proceedings Austin Reveille, May 8, The May term of the Third Judicial District Court convened Wednesday with Judge Breen presiding. The morning was devoted to the criminal calendar, arraignment and setting dates for hearings. In the matter of the State vs. Robert Hogan, charged with misappropriating county funds as treasurer, when the indictment was read, Mr. Hogan, who appeared in court without counsel, stated that he did not want counsel and that he did not want time in which to answer, demur or otherwise plead to the indictment.  The Court instructed the Clerk to enter a plea of not guilty to each of these indictments. Mr. Hogan raised the question of the competency of Judge Breen to give him a fair trial, whereupon the court, with the agreement of District Attorney Maestretti, postponed the date of setting a day for trial until Thursday, May 13. In the meantime, the Court stated that other judges in the State would be communicated with to find out when it would be convenient for one of them to come to Austin to try the cases. The District Attorney also stated in the course of the proceedings that he could not be ready to try the Hogan cases at this term. Eureka Sentinel Saturday May 15, 1915
