az i'9s Vie Ais upon the pan ia CHI
pioying messenger boy. and on the pre-
text that patient wanted TO see him the
| doctor was made to come out and start for
his Office. On the way down he was met
| by Herold and Brown, who engaged him
In conversation and followed him to his
| Office. During this conversation they ex-
| planned that they had q warrant for his
i arrest. and, according to the doctor, told
him that if he would give M the will or
reveal its hiding place they would let him
! go free. The doctor informed them that
they evidently did not know their man
and should like to know the reason
| for this hich-handed proceeding. The
detectives did not see fit to give
| any further explanation than was con-
tanned in the warrant and wanted the
| doctor to come along with them, when
! Constable Van Horn appeared on the
| scene. He also informed DR.. Jordan that
he had warrant for his arrest in connec-
ton with the Yesier will and proceeded TO
read it. Hold on" said the doctor, ''how
many times am being arrested ?" THAT
| don't make any difference" replied Van
Horn. 81 am the proper one 10 serve this
warrant and it must be done properly"
"All right" said the doctor, ''go ahead,
and when you get through among your
selves, simply decide who has arrested me
and with whom | am expected to CO."
| Van Horn finished reading the warrant,
and then the doctor was taken in hack
to the county Jail and placed in the west
wing. It was claimed that the doctor be-
| came much excited when taken in his
| Office, but The officials at the county jail
| say he was as cool as an icicle, and said
nothing when the bars closed on him,
otherwise than:
Some one will sweat for this outrage"
Previous to this several attempts had
been made 20 &c, Van Buren, out of his
room at the Russell house. but they were
| unsuccessful, as the patient scheme did
| not work on him. After they had Jordan,
| however, their courage seemed 20 rise. and,
f, While the lawyers stood on the corner
| the detectives and Van Horn went in and
| found the door unlocked. They raped
| and then entered. Van Buren, was in bed,
| and with him c. l.. f. Kellogg. When
| their errand was made known the officers
| say Van Buren, lost all the color he had
and was SO ratified he could not get
! into his CLOTHES without a great
effort. Van Horn read the warrant,
and, while Van Buren, was dressing
1t was suggested that Kellogg go down to
Dr. Jordan's office and get him to come up
and put up bail for Van Buren,. Kellogg
got out OF the room in a remarkably short
time and was heading for Jordan's Office,
when he was hailed by Capt. Eugene N.
Carr and went away with him and the play
closed with another hack ride to the
county jail with Van Buren, as the prln-
cipai.
1t was about O'Clock when the bars Of
| the south wing of the county jail closed
on Van Buren,. He had been placed in
the quarter W tn the common rabble, and
| what is known as a kangaroo court" was
Immediately called and the doctor fined s.
for entering the Jail without permit. 1t
was currently reported that he took the
proceedings in good part and paid the
fine.
When the detectives and constable
| looked over their work they found that
one warrant still remained to be served.
| That warrant called tor the arrest of Mrs.
| Minnie Yesler. 1t was not daylight, and
! they came to the conclusion that
| the ends of justice would be as
well served if the time was put
| off until later in the morning. They were
| not idle, however, and az soon as Justice
| Humphrey could be gotten hold of infor-
| nations were filed charging Mrs. Minnie
| Yesler. DIR. Jordan and III. Martin Van
Buren, with the larceny OF the last will and
testament of Henry l.. Yeser. said will
| being the property of J. d. Lowman, the
| executor.
