MIKE FLANNIGAN CASE TO BE CARRIED TO SUPREME COURT District Judge Robert R. Dickson Tuesday overruled the motion for a new trial for M. J. Flannigan, filed by his attorney in the district court of Brown county at Ainsworth. They will turn to the state supreme court as a last resort. Mr. Flannigan was convicted last October of forgery, and had asked a new trial on the grounds of alleged new evidence. The forgery charge related to a $8,000.00 note, signed "A. E. Ranbaugh", which appeared as an asset of the failed Nebraska State Bank of Long Pine. The alleged new evidence consisted of two letters, one to the bank receiver and one to Mr. Flannigan, signed "A E. Ranbaugh", and postmarked "Hot Springs, S. D.", but not disclosing the writer's whereabouts.
