Unless There Is a Requisition.
Judge Campbell reviewed the facts in
the case Of S. G.. Wellman, held to
Court by Justice Ankle, a few days ago,
for stealing lot of emery wheels from
o. L. Huffman, and decided that the
defendant should be released from jail
at noon Tuesday, unless a requisition
should come to hand, meantime, from
the State Of Ohio.
Last evenings Cincinnati Enquirer
had this to say about the parties con-
cerned:
&c. L. Huffman, who has been en-
gagged In the sale of emery wheels and
like articles Of merchandise at 1873 John
street, appeared before Squire Wilson
Yesterday and swore out three warrants
for the arrest OF Samuel G. Wellman,
on charge of grand larceny, alleging
that during his temporary absence
from his John street establishment,
Wellman, who was acting as agent for
him, had stolen al his stock OF goods.
In conversation with a reporter HUFF
man told the details Of the novel theft.
II hired Wellman about May 30 in
Cleveland" said Huffman, land he was
to sell emery wheels and grindstones
for me and was to receive a commission
OF 20 per cent. Of his sales for his SER
vices. On the 23d Of June l was called
ND on Walnut Hills TO attend TO some
business matters, and while l was alb
sent Wellman, who had his nerve at all
stages of the game, hired two large
, wagons and removed my entire stock TO
the steamer Keystone State and lied
with it to Ashland, Ky.
II learned from a John street mer.
chant where Wellman had gone and
followed him upon the next boat, stop
ping at Ashland, TO which point Well
man had billed the cargo OF emery
wheels and grindStOnes. When l ar
rived at Ashland l learned that my slick
agent had reloaded his plumber on board
the Steamer Andes and gone TO Wheel
ing, where he is now held as fugitive
from Justice. / followed him to the
above point and caused his arrest and
detention until could return here and
swear out a warrant for his arrest"
As reQuisition is necessary to bring
back the thieving agent, three warrants
had to be issued, and Constable John c.
Anthony will start for Columbus this
afternoon. The necessary papers for
presentation to Governor Mckinley, in
order to procure a reQuisition, will be
issued by Prosecutor Schwartz before
10 o'clock this morning.
After securing a reQuisitton from
Governor Mckinley, Constable Anthony
will proceed to Charleston, and after
securing an audience with Gov. Flem-
/ ing and obtaining the necessary docu-
ment for Wellman's arrest, will pro-
coed to Wheeling and claim his man,
Wellman is a resident, OF Buffalo, n.
I Y, where he has a family. He isaoout
35 years OF age aud is credited with be-
ing rather slick individual. Besides
the Huffman affair it is alleged that he
has been implicated in several other
schemes, at one time being in the pat
ent-right business.
Huffman is medical student and
lives at Savannah, Ohio. He is not used
to dealing with men possessed OF Well
mans proclivity, and told a reporter
that he though he could make enough
money during vacation to pay his tut
ton at the Jefferson Medical College in
Philadelphia.
At late hour last night Huffman
telegraphed the Chief Of Police at
Wheeling instructinE him to to hold
Wellman until the arrival OF Constable
Anthony.
