AUGUST TANNERS STORY.
Says lie Is the Victim of II Conspiracy to
Deprive Him Of "a Valuable In


The preliminary hearing of August
Tanner. for completely in the robbery of
the Brookeld postotiicc. was had be-
fore Commissioner John NJ Nucko1s
yesterday morning. and the prisoner
was held for trial in the sum of $4,000.
lie was unable at the time to give bond
and went back to Jail.
The testimony in the case was practi-
cdlly a repetition of that against Stroudo
and Peavler, heard this week and moth
irC startling was developed Tanner
says he is certain he can make the
bond required and get out of jail during
the present week
Among the witnesses present yester-
day was w. u. Crandall of st. Louis.
who was postmaster at Brookheld at
the time of the robbery. The matters
that have been developed in the trial
are revelation to him, so he said yes
terday.
Mr.. Crandall refuses to believe that
Walter Day had anything to do with the
robbery, or was cOgnzant of IL in any
way. 1t is claimed that Stroude is the
only one of the gang who places any
blame on Day, and he Is said to claim
that Day knew Of the attack and left
the rear window unfastened. This is
disputed by Mr.. Crandall, who says the
window was not left unfastened, but
was forced open and broken with a
jimmy. and that plenty of people saw it

Crandairs employ prior to the robbery
and for a long time afterwards, and he
and his wife are sticking to the young
man, and profess perfect confidence in
his uprrightness and integrity.
The witnesses against Tanner yester-
day stated that he was seen at L.
o'clock the night of the robbery at a
lunch counter. and gave as his reason
for being out SO late that his folks We're
i'll and that he had been out for medi-
cine. 1t was stated also that one party
had told Tanner shortly prior to the
robbery that he was tired of doing
hard work, and that Tanner had said
he had "A scheme for getting along. and
asked if he wanted to get in with the
gang" Some pieces Of the drill in the
hands of the officers were identified by
several of the witnesses as having been
in Tanners shop.
Tanner told story yesterday con-
ccrning the matter He said he was
not implicated in the robbery Of the
Office at all, and that he is a victim of
the gang at Brooktield. According to
his story he has recently completed a
patent process for separating gold from
the dirt without the use of water and
has perfected the working model of the
machine He was without funds with
which to carry the patent to completion
and get it on the market for use, and so
organized a stock company at Brook
field for that purpose, He asserts three
men in the company have put UP a job
on him and got him in trouble with the
others so that he may be frozen out
and forced to part with his valuable
possession tu get cash to fight the case
against him.
1t is known that Tanner has been at
work for years on the process OF which
he speaks, and a recent issue of a Brook
field paper tells of the completion of the
machine and speaks highly of its prac-
teal value and the delicate manner in
