Alleged Bank Robbers Discharged
and Rearrested.
SCRAMBLEFOR THE MEN
Uncle Sa IN Wins Out and Holds Then,
Charged with Robbing a
Postoffice.

GAINESVILLE Wis, Feb. 23.-I Special. /
Before Judge Charles L. Fifield of the
Rock county municipal court at 10
o'clock this morning the four alleged
bank robbers, arrested at Prairie du
Chen on the charge Of robbing the Bank
Of Milton on the night Of November 23,
1899, were arraigned. The prisoners are
James Franklin, Frank Flynn, H. Tiff
fon and William Howe Each prisoner
has half-dozen different aliases.
When the case was called dozen Off
GERS from Illinois and Wisconsin were
on hand with warrants for the prisoners
arrest in case they were discharged. The
prisoners fully realized all this part of
the affair.
When Judge Fifield read the charge
District Attorney William \. Jackson in
formed the court that he had been I'M
able to procure the evidence that he had
expected to have. The persons who had
seen the defendants in GAINESVILLE, Beloit
and Milton, at the time of the Milton
bank robbery, were not positive as to
identification. Other witnesses were out
of the state and their attendance could
not be procured In his judgment there
was not enough evidence to warrant an
examination District Attorney Jackson
moved to dismiss the action and to dis
charge the prisoners.
Judge Fifeld then discharged the pris-
onerS.
Judge Fifield had no more than uttered
the word discharged, when there was one
grand rush for the prisoners by the nu-
merous outside officers present. But the
rush was brief. United States Marshal
Charles Lewiston and Deputy Marshal
+. 2. Meehan of Madison and United
States Postoffice Inspector Gould of Chi
go had clear field from the start. They
easily outciassed their brother officers.
In moments notice Lewiston, Nee
han and Gould handcuffed Franklin,
Flynn and Howe. They did not want
Tffin. 1iffin was surprised at not be-
ing rearrested that he had to be informed
twice that he was Il free man. Then he
grabbed his overcoat and left the court
room on q run.
Then the three prisoners were taken to
the office of Justice l.. +. Patton, half
block away, where they faced a new
charge with the United States of Amer
lea as plaintiff. They are charged with
robbing the postoffice at the city of De
kalb, H., on November Z. 1899. Their
case was adjourned till February 2S. In
default Of $4,000 bail the prisoners were
reInanded to Jail.
