Marceline. was taken to Marceline on
Wednesday Of lost week for prelimi-

"Detective" Thos. O'Hara, not put
ting in an appearance, Ellis was re
leased. The MarceliDe papers eeem
to have some doubt Of O'Hars's
sincerity as to the revelations he
made to the officers, from one oi
whom he borrowed money and of an
other an overcoat to go on a hunt
for the other suspects. His conduct
seems to indicate that he knows
more about the burglary than he
has yet revealed. Later we learn
that Ellis has been arrested again.
