"The Hide Stealing Has Stopped. /"

Detective Harry Sutton and James
CaiTnes went to Wellington this morn
ing as witnesses in the trial Of Charles
Willard, who is charged wit h stealing
hides. Willard was Il 5u cher at Ar
kansas City but has been suspected a
number Of times Of having had con-
nectirn with tie hide stealing. Some
months ago he brought a load of hides
to this city and sold them to a hide
man. IL was afterwards discovered
that they had been discovered near
Wellington. About a month after
that John Grady, Wellington man,
turned up here with some hides. The
police arrested him and it was found
that the hides were stolen in Doug
las, Kan. 1t was nearly cOnclusively
proved that Grady and Willard were
working together in hide stealing.
Willard was arrested and taken to
Wellington tOstand trial, while Grady
was removed to EldOrado for the same
purpose. The officers say they think
they have evidence to convict both
men. They claim to be innocent and
deny the charge. One officer yester-
day said; "They may be innocent, but
l notice that the hide stealing has
stopped. Wichita Beacon,
