TOOK WATCH TO "GET EVEN"
Experience in an Auction House
and Comes to Grief.

w. j. Marshall Has an interesting
Experience in an Auction House
and Comes to Grief.
W. ]. Marshall, a railway mail clerk, who
lives at Thirteenth and Oak streets, was
arrested yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock
by Officer NJ. Casey, on complaint of c. V.
kirkham. who runs an auction jeweiry
store on Walnut street near Tenth. He is
charged with stealing a watch. Marshall
was taken to Central police station, where
he explained the case to Inspector Halptn.
In the meantime kirkham had sworn QUIZ
warrant for his arrest before Justice krue-
ger, and he was a%rraigned during the aft
ernoon.
Marshall's story is that he was defrauded
at the auction store last Friday. and he
simply took the watch yesterday to get
even" with the jeweler. He said he had
examined one of the watches which was
valued at $35. and said to be seventeen jew
eled. and with good works. Then he bid the
watch up until he discovered that he was
bidding against an employe of the firm who
stood among the customers. He complained
and another watch was put up for sale,
clared was the same kind of watch as the
first one. This Marshall secured at his
bid Of SI.25. After he arrived home he found
he had only a cheap watch. He went out
on his mail run and got back to the city
yesterday morning. He went to the store
their $35 watches. As soon as it was hand
ed to him ne turned over the watch he pur-
chased Friday and declared that unless his
money was refunded he would keep the
good watch. A police officer was called ard
Marshall was placed under arrest. Later
he was released on bond. He says he does
not believe any jury will convict him under
the circumstances.
