SEDAIIA, Mo-, Nov. Arthur
Kahn, member of one of the largest
clothing houses in Sedalia, was princi-
pal yesterday in a sensational arrest.
In September, 1894, Kahn was a mer-
chant at Goodland, Kan. While hunt
ing one day with party of friends
his gun was accidentally discharged in
the presence of the whole party, while
he was attempting to fire at a flock OF
ducks. Fred Albee, an attorney, and
police judge of Goodland, was shot
and killed. A coroner's jury exoner-
ated Kahn. Recently a demand was
made on him for money. He refused
to comply with the result that the
sheriff from Goodland arrived with a
requisition for Kahn, who was taken
to Kansas

HE PLEADS GUILTY.
Steward Hodgins Decides to Make
No Defense
IN THE ISENHART MATTER.

Pleads Guilty in the District Court
This MOrnin=-Vi.i Not Receive His
Sentence for some Days.
A good sized crowd was disappointed
this morning in the district court when
Dick Hodgius pleaded guilty TO assault
AMI battery. They had hoped that they
would have the excitement of hearing
the details of the case.
The charge to which Hodgins pleaded
guilty was an attack on Lawyer S. 3.
Isenhart last spring. 1t was Immediately
after the trial of the Topeka club case
against the Populist police commission
era for damage for malicious arrest. 1t
happened just after the close of the
trial when public interest was at fever
heat aud excited wide spread interest.
Hodgins is the steward of the Topeka
club, and Mr.. Isenhart was an attorney
on the other side. The steward thought
he was mistreated while on the stand by
IseRhart. He waited for the attorney at
the foot of the stairway leading to his
Office and there assaulted him. He
knocked 1senhart down aud is said to
have kicked him while he lay on the
sidewalk.
Mr. Isenhart ignored the arrest of
Hodgins and his appearance in police
court, ana SWOro out warrant 1Or ms
arrest in q higher court. The case has
been pending in the district court since
then,
Tho case was set for trial earlier in the
| term, but on the last day Hodgins' attor-
neys came into court and made an APP
plicaiion for a change of venue. tits
said that this was done because Hodgins
feared that Judge Hazen would give
him a jail sentence, instead of fining
him, though other reasons were alleged.
The. application was made on two
grounds, prejudice of tho people, and
bias and prejudice of the judge. Judge
Hazen refused to grant the change on
either ground.
Hodgins was in court this morning at 8
o'clock with his attorney, Joe Waters
When the case was called Mr.. Waters
stepped forward and entered plea of
| guilty for his client.
The judge will not science Hodgins
until next week. There are several
others waiting to be sentenced, and /
shall sentence them all together" sAiG
| he this morning.
The punishment for Hodgins' offense
| is fine of not to exceed 500 or impris-
! onment for not more than one year in
! the county Jail. 1t is not likely that an
extremely heavy sentence will be i'm
| posed.
