B. Floyd and her IONS Lou and Frank
have Ill bcen jointly indicted VI q charge
Of completely with Phil Scheig in robbinrs
the Bank Of Minneapolis OF $2J,OOO.
Mrs. Floyd was arrested 0 a bench
war1ant while on q Hst to her son az
the county jail. Scheig was to have been
sentenced this morning. hut owing ID q
nress of other court business no sentence
has vet been pronounced. II il now be-
lieyed that in some way the Floyda,
mother and sons, became possessed az
Knowledge of Scheig's populations about
three years ago, and since that time they
have used that knowledge to extort
money from him. Scheig himself stated
that shortly before his flight he had
called on Mrs. Floyd and given her 5
for her trip to Paris. He had given her
other money, he said, but could not give
the exact amount. Scheig still refuses to
toll how much none he took from the
Rank of Minneapolis, md the officers OF
that institution maintain q studious
silence in regard to the matter. The
! anount first givel was $4,000, but this
| has gradually increased until some re-
M, "a have placed it as high as $4,000.
+ il probable. howash;, that the total
..ten was between $4,000 and $4,000,
md Of this about $1,000 has bet.n RS
| covered in money and goods. Another
| feature that is ex citing comment Is the
| treatment Scheig IL receiving at the
hands of the bank officials. And from
| this the suspicion has arisen that Scheig
| pleaded guilty for the purpose Ut eft
| fectually concealing the amount stolen.
But the apparent lenicncy toward Scheig
on the part Of the bank people would
seem to be explained now that the truth
about the suspected Floyds is coming
out. and it seems that Scheig's great
est fault has. been in being too easily
led. II
