Mother Elford Found Guilty in Theft Case at Anaconda
In Anaconda on April 5, Mrs. Hester Elford was found guilty by a district court jury of receiving stolen property connected to funds stolen by her 14 year old daughter Violet Gorseline. Judge Winston planned to pronounce sentence next Tuesday morning. The trial centered on $2340 reported stolen from Thomas McMahon on July 4 last year, with $1180 taken at that time. The daughter testified she hid most of the money and later gave $23.49 to her mother, leading to the mother's conviction. The case details include a moved cache under a mattress and the daughter’s flight to Tacoma before returning to Montana. Also noted was the death of LL. Nunn, a pioneer in the electrical industry and philanthropist.
