is ACCUSED OF STEALING
Alleged to Have Made Away With
$1,000 Worth OF Jewelry in the
Klondike-The Story OF
the Case.

Ike Correveau, the young man from
Butte, better known as Ike Hennessey,
who is under arrest at Dawson City on
the charge of having stolen about
$1,000 worth of jewelry, has had a trial,
but the jury in the case disagreed and
he will be given another chance to
prove his innocence.
The Klondike Nugget of Oct. has
the following about the trial:
THE territorial court was occupied
all Of last Wednesday in trying the
case of the queen VS.. Ike Correveau,
accused of stealing at Dawson, on May
%. quantity of jewelry and diamonds
valued at $1,000, the property of Louis
Hoffman. The goods We're taken from
the latter's jewelry store, located on
the west side of Fifth avenue. No clew
to the perpetrator of the robbery was
discovered until the 9th of August, at
which time the accused sold, in con-
sideration Of $3.50, to Louis Sale a large
marquise ring, containing s. diamonds.
Upon acquiring possession of the ring
MI. Sale reset the stones into smaller
rings, but some of the jewels were SO
marked that Mr.. Hoffman subsequent
ly identified them as part Of the stolen
property. At the time Of negotiating
the sale Of the marquise ring to Mr..
Sale the prisoner volunteered the in
formation that he had received the
jewelry from an acquaintance who had
recently gone outside. Some days aft
erwards Correveau sold spiral stud
to Mr.. Sale who, upon turning it over
to Mr. Hoffman, ascertained that 1t
likewise had been stolen. Beside the
testimony Of Mr.. Sale the crown pro-
duced the evidence Of Doc Stearns, a
gambler. Stearns on several occasions
had made careful examinations Of the
marquise ring while it was in the pos
session of Mr.. Hoffman. StearnS posi-
lively identified two of the stones
which Correveau sold to Mr. Sale as
part of those that were set in the mar
quise ring. The evidence on the part
of the defense, excepting that of the
accused, went entirely to the prisoners
good reputation. Correveau, upon talk
ing the stand, admitted that he had
sold the stolen property in question to
Mr.. Sale, but swore that he had re-
ceived the same from a man named
John Glover in payment for money
loaned: that he had no reason to be
suspicious of the goods, and mat Glover
had departed from the territory some
months ago. The prisoner could give
no satisfactory explanation as to why
he neglected to disclose, at the time of
his arrest, the name Of the man from
whom he received the stolen property.
The Jurors, after celebrating for two
hours, reported to the judge that it was
impossible for them to agree, and they
were discharged. II is understood that
they stood, five to one for conviction.
The jury was comprised of Joseph Sher-
win, j. A. Campbell, w. e. Lingard,
Thomas Low. IIallet Bailey and Ora
ham McTavish. 1t will be remembered
that John Glover is the name of the
same individual whom Thomas Thorn
ton accused of giving to him the jew
elry and gold dust which was stolen
from the store of Charles Goldstein.
Thornton was convicted and sentenced
to seven years imprisonment. Verify
Glover was wise in his day and gen.
Grafton. He departed from the country
and has successfully evaded punish
ment, but his guileless dupes are suf-
fering for his transgressions.'
