I was in Galesburg from February IL to
~, but found none OF the stolen property
there know of two men called "Chey :
snne Pete" and Omaha Red" but have
never seen either Of them in Sedalia. At
ter had returned to Sedaiia with the prls-
oner | went to Kansas City after Lizzie
Wirges. She turned over to me
AwATCH AND TWO RINGS,
the same property which was introduced
here Yesterday and identified BY Mr. Addor
as belonging to him She told me they
were given to her by Harry Woodwork,
the watch being sent to her from Galesburg,
Ill. The two rings, t'gether with a piece
of cashmere, were sent to her by express
from some pOin, down the Rad. She did
not know the name of the town. but thought
it was LzmOute. She said il was about the
lst of February that she received the goods
She accompanied me TO the office of Chief
Speeis, into whose keeping she had given
the jeweirv, aud it was turned over Io me
there.
told Miss Wirges that had q subpoena
i'r her, and she was perfectly willing to
come and testify AZ witness.
ibid NOT INTIMlDATE HER
by saying had a warrant for her, and if
she did not accompany me / would have
her locked up. Detective Con. OHare
went with me to the house where Mis-
Wirges was stopping. and The first CONVEX
sation / had with her was on Thursday
forenoon. The second vas at 4:3O in the
afternoon, and ON that occasion we visited
Speers' office, at which time | took charge
o: the jewelr,.
She told me she had also received from
Harry, As she called him, two Of his photo
graphs, chrome, bouquet and some let
ters. They were sent to her from Gales
burg. One letter, she said, had his name,
Harry Woodwork" signed at the bottom
The others dln not have his signature, but
she was certain
THEY WERE FROM HIM.
She further said that he had given her $50
1T one time and IS at another with which
TO buy clothing. have none of the other
pr perry in my possession described in the
arhdavit rs stolen.
This concluded Mr.. belongs testimony,
and as he had been placed OH the stand by
the defense, OF course Mr.. Heard did not
care 10 cross-exsmine him for the state
the court would consider that enough evil
dence had Deen introduced TO hold the
prisoner To criminal court. and he would
rest the case as il stood. He asked that
reasonable bail bond be required, but not
an excessive one.
Mr. Heard said he was willing to leave
the matter Of bail with the court. There
were
TWO CHARGES AGAINST THE PRISONER,
however, and he felt certain his honor
would do what he thought proper in the
premises.
Justice Halstead then made a few re-
marks, and at the conclusion announced
that he would hold the prisoner iu the sum
of 81 900 to appear at criminal court, and
In default OF bondsmen he was turned over
to Constable Carnes, who soon thereafter
escorted him to the COUNTY Jail
During the time Mr.. belong as giving
his testimony the prisoner, gave to his at
tOrney. Mr.. Steele, the letter he had written
early in the proceedings, and the fact be-
coming known to Mr.. Heard, he asked
that the court compel Mr.. Steele to give
the letter into the
KEEPING OF THE SHERIFF..
This Mr.. Steele positively declined to do,
and some sharp and not at ali compliment
airy words passed between the attorneys
Finally the matter was compromised bv
Mr.. Steele permitting tive court to read the
missive, which was pronounced harmless.
and minute later the court room was
cleared and Justice Halstead was left mon
arch of all he surveyed.
In connection with this case the BAzoo
desires to say good word for Mr.. De Long
just for a change, as it were. Since the
evening of the robbery he has worked zeal
ously to apprehend the guilty parties, and
it looks very much as though success has
crowned his efforis-sO far as one of the
parties, at lie st. is concerned. For the
work performed the BAzOo, in conjunction
with all good citizens, gives him due credit
and EXPRESS the hope tina, he may yet
succeed in capturing all who were in the
leastwise implicated in the crime.
