Queer Case.
II the story that Edward Mulvey, who
Is familiar police court figure, tells Is
true, and which every ono believes Is true
there Is work in this city for the police de-
partment and work which should call
fIom that body the most exhaustive invcs-
tigation. The basis of Edwards story Is
that he was kept locked up In farm
house, the location Of which is unknown
took him from New Castle jail Wednes-
day evening week ago. Edward, and
people who have been impressed by his
story, are of the opinion that he was kept
out Of the city to shield men who had
robbed him of s23
This Is the story: Three weeks ago he
received his quarterly pension allowance
of SCI. He carried the money with him.
In the saloon Of Jeremiah Sullivan, Ed
ward says, he became intoxicated. He
was arrested soon afterwnrd by Officer
Scott, but upon arriving at the station
house no money was found Oh the prison
er. Edward then declared that he had S23
a short time before, and II 1t was not on
him he had been robbed.
Ho insisted that he had been robbed,
then was carried back to cell with only
the satisfaction that his case would be
looked into. Not having money to pay his
fine he was committed to Jail. This Is the
beginning Of tho story in earnest. He
languishCd in the prison several days and
was not released until a stranger went to
the Jail and paid the fine and costs over to
a deputy sheriff Edward was then
properly clothed and taken from the jail
by the strange: who had carriage on the
outside.
Into it Edward got butt was not but a
few minutes before be protested against
the stranger driving him along another
road than that leading to this city, Don't
worry I'll take yoa home all right, was the
only satisfaction Edward got. The stran.
ger had given Edward all the liquor he
could drink and it was because Of this
that he did not know where he was Ho
does know that it was farm, that he was
kept there week, and during that t!no
he did not have to ask for drink
, He also says,he would know the man
who drove him 70 the house. Several
times Edward tried to escape but upon
every occasion he was captured and upon
one instant says he was dragged over a
plowed field. His legs are covered with
scabs which indicate he received brutal
treatment at some time during the past
two weeks. On Wednesday of last week
he was allowed to come home. He wuntsl
the man to bring him here but he refused,
and he came alone.
Upon arriving he went to the station
house and told his story but no credcnce
was given 1t. He also inquired If his
money had been recovered but was in
formed that it was not. Then Edward
awakened to the fact that he had been |
kept away in order that the guilty parties
escape punishment.
1t has since been learned that West |
side saloon.kccpcr had been accused Of |
selling liquor to Edward, who, by the way |
is on Che blacklist, and thut the case had |
been quashed before Edward could appear
before the grand Jury of this county TO |
give testimony concerning the charge.
