lage by constable NuCCer, ana search
ed by him for money which it was al
legged he had stolen in Canada. The
amount Of money lost was 800 and
the amount found on his person was
S55. When asked to be searched he
said he had no objections provided 1t
could be done in a private room and
he alone with the officer, which was
allowed. We understand the circum-
stances against him are of the strong
est kind. He had been searched the
day before in Canada and no mon
ey found upon him. Before he left
Canada for this place he had an ink
ling that the officers were after him
and he went to lawyer and asked
if arrested if he would be obliged to
tell where he got his money, or as he
put the question, suppose go to
Barton and borrow a 500 bill or
more Of my brother there, will | be
compelled to tell where | got it ~
Among the property lost was 500 |
bill, lie also told that he had the
money of a brother-in-law at Newport |
and his brother-in-law says he never
let him have a cent. On the night of
the theft the people of the house were
at meeting and when they returned,
Sartle was seen leaving the house and
going around behind the barn as if |
afraid Of being seen. When asked |
here where he got his money he would
not tell but said he wanted to see
counsel, and so the officer went to |
Irashurgh with him to see his broth
er. While there the case was laid be-
tore the states attorney, who thought
the proof was not sufficient to convict
him here. although he had not a par
ticIe of doubt as to his guilt Had
the states attorney known all the
facts as they came out in Barton,
where the complainant then was, he
never could have been allowed to 90.
