vANTINE HELD FOR TRIAL. Il
CHARGED WITH ROBBING H.
sTEINMEYER.
Admitted to Bail in $4,000, and
Released on His Fathers
Bond.

John Vantine, Jr., had his preliminary
examination yesterday in Justice Hen
rvs court on charge of having as
saulted and robbed an aged carpenter
named Henry Steinmeyer several weeks
ago. He was held to answer before
the Superior Court and his bond placed
| at $1,000, which was given by his
father tr
The first witness for the prosecution
was the complaining witness, Stein
meyer, who testified that he was 63
years old. He said that on April ID
he met the defendant in the neighbor-
hood of Eleventh and streets; that
Vantine, whom he did not know, had
inveigled him into a house on r
street, between Eleventh and Twelfth,
under the pretext of taking him to a
man who would give the witness en-
ployment;. that after they got inside
Vantine asked a woman for pencil
and some paper to write out the ad-
dress Of the man who was to give wit
ness work; that the defendant then re-
quested witness to give him some mon
ey to buy a can Of beer, and that wit
ness gave him Is cents. /!
Steinmeyer said he had toaAtake out
his purse to get the money ,asa and that
Vantine saw how much he had. Van
tine then took the witness into room
in the rear and closed the door behind
them, and pulled witness over near the
wall, where he demanded that the wit
ness-using threatening language-give
up all OF his money.
On being refused, Vantine struck the
witness a blow-in the pit of the stom-
ach. Steinmeyer said he resisted and
a struggle ensued, in which his coat
and vest were torn. Vantine' then
grabbed him tightly about the body
and took a purse containing $5 70 from
his vest pocket and put it In his own
coat pocket.
Witness asked to have his money re-
turned, and threatened to have Van
tine arrested, and the latter told him
that if he said anything to anybody
about it he (Vantine) would kill him.
The next witness was young wo-
man named May Connors, who cor
roborated Steinmeyer as to the two
men coming to the house in the man
ner in which Steinmeyer claimed they
Ibid. She also testified that Vantine took
the old gentleman into the back room,
and that she heard defendant talking
loudly in there.
| She further stated that shortly after
ward vantine came back into the room
again where she was and said ne be-
| lieyed the old Dutchman was going to
have him arrested. and on being asked
| the reason he said that Steinmeyer had
I accused him of having robbed him
Mrs. Anna McCauley testified that
she saw vantine lead the old man into
| the baekroom. and that he closed the
door after him, but as she is some
| what deaf she could not hear what went
on in there.
/ A young man named Ed Bayard, who
rooms at the house, testified that he
was lying on bed and heard some
| loud talking in the back part OF the
house Some minutes later he went
| out to see who it was, and saw Van

tine standing near the rear door. Stein
meyer was rapidly walking away from
the house. Vantine remarked, point
ing. at the retreating figure: Il guess
the old fool is going to have me ar
rested He says robbed him.
The last witness for the prosecution
was Deputy Sheriff Fisher. He testified
that he arrested Vantine on Monday
last. and that on the way to Jail he
asked defendant If he had known Stein
meyer before, and whether he took
Steinmeyer to the house, or vice versa.
Defendant replied that he knew Stein
meyer, but did not know whether Stein
meyer knew him or not, and that the
complaining witness went to the house
at his (Vantines) suggestion.
This closed the case for the prose-
cution. Vantine was represented by
Attorneys Harry Soule and J. D.
Moynahan, but no testimony was Of
fered by the defense, and the accused
was held to answer before the Superior
Court

The Veteran.

On the floor by the side Of the old cedar
The veteran was kneeling;
And swift were his hands as his flutt ring
breast,
HIS eyes were incarnate feeling.
He was as white as the scattered sea,
And straight as a pine unbended,
And the thrills were trembling the bended
knee
AS he muttered: THE wars unended.
There's a sound on the street of the fife
and drum,
And flapping aloft of Old Glory;
There's a shut1ie of marching feet that
come
In response to the same old story.
There's a yelling of blood films over my
eyes,
And / hear the bugle calling;
There's a shrieking tor help in the bloody
Where Freedoms sons are falling
The veteran belted the coat of blue,
Faded and worn and tattered,
And over his shoulder swung into view
The canteen, soiled and battered.
And straight to attention" the warrior
old,
While finger and seam were meeting,
Marked left, left left as the time
By the drums, like heart throbs beating.
Out of the mist, the depth, the height,
To the sound of ghostly drumming,
Battahons in blue, in gray, to the fight
To the fight of old were coming.
Over the face of the veteran came
A shade of deepening sorrow;
"Ah God, is 1t forever and ever the same,
AS then to-day--tO-morroW2
Oh, Ghost of our hatred come forth at
last!
Shall not the graves of the dead
Bury the blood and wrath of the past,
In silence, profound and dread?"
And 10! from the serried ranks there
burst
Tramp, tramp, Dixie" mingling
A song of Glory unrehearSed,
That set his blood a-tingling.
The veteran swung with right about
face
To place in the marching ranks;
No north, no south, no color, no race;
Thank God, no rebs, no Yanks.
There's a sound in the air of coming
storm;
There's muttering growl of thunder
There's fight or two left in the veteran
form,
To show 'em how Dons may blunder'

A Story Of Ruskin.

John Ruskin, the English art critic,
once criticised in his fearless way a
picture OF a well-known artist who
was very much grieved at the effect.
Later, on hearing of the sorrow he had
caused. he wrote to the artist that
he regretted that he could not speak
more favorably of the picture, but
hoped it would make no difference in
their friendship. The artist, it is said,
wrote in reply the following note:
Dear Ruskin: Next time l meet you
I shall knock you down, but I hope
it will make no difference in our
friendship. "--ArgOnaut
