TWO DIFFERENT STORIES.
Harry z. staniey's Charge Against W. W
Cone.

Harry z. Staniey's Charge Against W. W
Cone.
w. w. Cone, OF the United States Detec-
tive Agency, was arrested by officer Carroll
last night on complaint sworn to by
Harry E. Stanley, charging him with OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses. Stanley
asserts that on Monday last he received
SAT 80 from T. D. SERVER and that Cone
having seen the money paid borrowed $40
from him, stating that he was an officer at
the Pavilion and would return the money
when he received his pay on the following
day. That since then he has been unable
to get his money back and has learned that
Cone was not employed at the Pavilion at
all.
Cone tells an entirely different story and
in several important points is fully corrob-
GRATED by others. He says that one day
early in the week he saw Stanley en- Fourth
street attempting to mount three-year-
old colt, but that ne was so drunk that his
foot missed the stirrup and he fell in
heap under the colts feet. Cone went to
his assistance and says that he saved his
life, as he would have been trampled and
kicked to death if he had not gone to his
rescue. He says he had known Stanley for
three years and thinking it was unsafe for
him to attempt to ride the colt, induced him
to take it to SERVERS stable and also
to leave his money there. They went to
the stable and Stanley left with the fore
man, NJ. F. Rowland, SAT. On the follow
ing day Cone says he went to the stable
with Stanley. and Rowland gave him his
money. Stanley started in drinking again.
and said that he would not go home, but
was going to stay in the city and have his
time out" Cone then advised him to leave
part of his money with him, as he would
lose it all if he went around drinking.
Stanley gave him $50, and went away. On
the same afternoon Stanley told Cone he
was going home, and went and got the coll
for that purpose. The same night he came
to Cone again, and said that instead of
going home he had gone over to Washingt
ton, where he had got drunk and lost all
his money, and that they had kept his
horse for $40, which they claimed
he owed there. He was Still drunk
and Cone took him to the st.
George building and paid for
room for him, and yesterday morning
gave him 81 90 to get his meals, telling him
that when he was ready to go home he
would give him the balance. He sa, that
he saw Stanley again in the afternoon, and
told him the same thing, and consequently
was greatly astonished to learn that he had
sworn to the complaint against him. He
believes that Stanley has been prompted to
make the complaint by some of his enc
mics.
NJ. F. Rowland, foreman of Servers
stables, corroborates Cones statement fully
in regard to what he says transpired at the
stable. When Cone brought Stanley to the
stable the latter was very drunk. On the
following morning he came there and de-
manded the money, but Rowland refused
to pay it until Cone should be present to
see that the man received all that he left,
especially as Stanley was not sober, and
was very abusive. Subsequently he came
with Cone and received his money. He
was then sober, and was profuse in his
thanks to both Rowland and Gone for saw
ing his money for him. What occurred be-
tween Stanley and Cone afterwards Row.
land says he does not know. The whole
matter will be aired in the Police Court
this morning.
