ASHLAND, Wis, Dec. Sat the ex-
animation this morning of the woman,
Lou. Thayer, arrested for completely in
the Hurley bank robbery, no evidence of
any consequence was offered and she was
dismissed. 1t seems now to be the pre-
valent opinion that she is spy for the
detectives and will come out with strong
evidence at the trial of the suspects The
prosecution made no attempt to have her
held over This completes the examina-
ton.
ASHLAND, Wis, Dec 6.-Messrs.
Phelps Perrin and Edwin w Baker, held
to answer to the charge of the Hurley
bank robbery, as well as their friends
were treated to a decided surprise and
sensation at Ashland last night. Both
men were re-arrested or served with war
rants, issued upon complaint of the United
States express company, IN the name of its
president, Thomas c.. Platt, which Is for
a civil action on the part of the company to
recover the full amount Of money
stolen from the bank, 500, 100.
| The papers in this second suit were
served upon Perrin by the sheriff of Ash
land county last evening just as he was
! leaving the court room after having fur
nished bail in the sum of $4,000, to an
swer to the first charge upon which he
was arrested. Perrin was rather dumb
founded, and was completely taken by sur
prise. as were also his father and 9TH
er friends, and their establishment
was only increased when Sheriff Matson
quietly informed them that he was re-
quested to hold him in the sum of $4,000
bail.
! A similar order of arrest in the case
| Baker was served upon him In jail, his
bond being placed at the same figure
| The firm of Winkler, Flanders, Smith,
Bottum & Villas, of this city, has been re-
tanned by the express company, and the
suit is brought in the circuit court Of Mil
waukee county. Attorney Flanders, who
was present yesterday, when the orders of
arrest were granted and served, stated to-
day, that as the defendants are residents
they have the right Of removal of
the cause to their own county, right he
| thought they would be quiet liable to take
advantage of. ''As to when the trial can
come on" said Mr. Flanders, ''that is a
question that cannot now be determined
until it is learned in what county the de-
PENDANTS desire to be tried. If the case Is
left in the circuit court of Milwaukee
county it cannot be reached probably be-
fore the March term, and if taken to Ash
land county it could not be brought to trial
before July next.
When Mr.. Flanders left Ashland last
night Perrin had not secured bondsmen,
and he has not heard since as to his sue
cess in that direction He learned that it
was quite probable Baker would not at
tempt to secure bonds, as it seemed out of
the question The second suit against the
accused men created sensation in Ash
land this evening.
! ASHLAND. Dec. 6.-In the civil suit,
Baker and Perrin were bound over under
s25. 900 bonds Baker goes to jail in de-
fault. Perrin is In Hurley today trying to
get bonds.
