Fred John Clemens Gives Away His
Pals In the Warren Burglary and
Is Brought Back.

For several hours previous to the de-
parture of Sheriff Reticker for Joliet
Yesterday morning. with his prisoner,
Fred John Clemens, sentenced to four
wears and half in the penitentiary
there, the sheriff was having private
interview with Clemens, the confidential
nature of which cast a shadow of suspi-
cion over it, An ARGUS reporters sus-
picions were aroused, knowing that
Reticker had one of his little schemes on
hand. but the scribes efforts to be let
into the game were in vain, and at 1910
the sheriff was of in the direction of Jol-
let with his prisoner in charge. Late last
night however. Reticker came back
mys,eriously, and few minutes later
he. with Baliff Miller, might have
been seen driving rapidly toward
Black Hawk township. AT . O'Clock
this morning the sheriff and bailiff re-
turned, having in their charge Ed. Dill
and Squire Dean, who live in the neigh
borhood of Dennis Warren's place. The
secret of Sheriff Reticker's movement did
not come out until this morning, and
then he was little adverse to giving
to the public an accomplishment he may
take Infiuite pride in.
When Clemens was convicted of the
crime of attempted burglary and robbery
on the premises of Dennis Warren on the
afternoon of Jan uary / last, few weeks
ago 1t was apparent that two OF his pals
10 the crime would escape UNPUBLISHED;
that there were three in IN the affair. for
which it appeared Clemens was alone to
suffer. Mr. Warren knew there were
and swore to il, and Clemens did not de-
ny it, though he would not furnish any
information that might lead to the detec
ii on Of the others. There was no other
clew except what Clemens could furnish,
and Sheriff Relicker set himself about to
get that. He knew that as long as Glen
ons was with the other prisoners he
would not "squeal;' so lie took HIM into
his own office and worked with him I'M
til the arrival of the bus yesterday morn
ing. After the train had been boarded
Sheriff Reticker renewed his efforts to
get confession from Clemens, and al
though the prisoner did not yield, the
sheriff made up his mind that it was a
question of which showed the most
persistency, and just before reaching
Geneseo. Clemens divulged the whole
story. Reticker Immediately took him
from the train, hired rig and drove Il
Moline; he put his prisoner in the Jail
there, came to this city, and the rest OF
the particulars have been given. This
morning Clemens was brought down be-
fore daylight and afterward made a
sworn confession before States Attorney
Entrikin.
The confession shows deep laid plot
to rob Mr. Warren, and the manner in
which it was to be done was the carrying
out of one of the boldest yet stragetical
plans that has ever been devised. Sheriff
Reticker is deserving of much praise for
his persistency in gaining the confession,
which will cause fugitives from justice o
share with Clemens the penalty of their
mutual crime.

FIRE. An alarm was at once given, but
before the firemen reached the scene,
the building was wholly enyeloped and
the fire was beyond control The dis
tillery, with all the machinery and con-
tents, was entirely destroyed The
building contained $1,000 bushels OF
grain and 50. 600 gallons of alcohol. Four
cars OF corn on the track were also de-
stroyed, together with all the govern
books. The total value Of the property
is estimated at 500 .OOo, on which there
was an insurance of about Sc, coo. The
fire originated in the leach room. and
was undoubtedly the work of an incen-
diary.
