A case which promises to evolve into
something a little more sensational
than surface indications indicate was
aired before Alderman NJ J. Ruddy last
night.
Frank Clarke one Of the numerous
special officers. deputy constable, dc
tectivc. etc, who make Alderman
Kclly's office their headquarters. was
the defendant and George Smith. of
Oakford court. was the prosecut or
The charge preferred against Clarke
was blackmail.
Lottie Smith, the prosecutors wife
was arrested last Saturday by Clarke
on a warrant issued by Alderman
Kelly. charging her with keeping "A
bawdy house. and entered bail in the
sum of $500 for her appearance at
court. This much both sides admit.
but their stories as to the rest of the
case don't tally.
According to the story told by Mrs
Smith. Charles and George Donlin, the
"spcakeasy detective formerly en-
ployed by the city. came to her house
last Saturday afternoon and remained
for some time. Clarke. she said, gave
one of the women 81 and said he'd be
around again.
The two men then left. but were back
again in half hour with warrant
for her arrest, issued by Alderman
Kelly. An individual named Leroy
Welsh figured as prosecutor. Mrs.
Smith testified that she was unable to
go to the alderman's court on account
of sickness and sent her husband in
stead.
George Smith, the husband, testified
that he went to Alderman Kelly's court
and there met the individual with the
aristoCratiC name of Leroy Welsh, who
had sworn out the warrant. He had
never seen Welsh before, he said. Welsh
offered 10 settle the case If he paid $50
and Aldrman Kelly said he was agree
able providing he Uhe alderman) re-
| CciNod a small matter of $3.50 in costs.
| Smith says he refused to settle and
entered bail for his wife's appearance.
Mrs. Smiths testimony as to the two
visits of DOnlin and Clarke was cor
roborated by Flo Aspell, one of the
| inmates of the place. Clarke and Don
lin entered sweeping denials and said
the only time they had ever been in
the house was when the warrant was
| served Clarke admitted having been
| prosecutor against RED" Annie. who
was charged some time ago with keep
| ing a bawdy house. and who was ar
rested on a warrant issued by Alder
man Kelly.
Alderman Kelly was present in the
interest of Clarke and pleaded earn
estly for his release. He let loose a
whole string of adjectives describing
what a fine officer he is Some of them
were honest" FAITHFUL" 'industri-
Gus" sober" "carcful' and good.
Alderman Ruddy wasn't much inn
pressed and held Clarke in $500 bail
Alderman Kelly qualified as his bonds
man.
| An effort will be made to locate the
mysterious Mr.. Welsh today. He is
said 10 so by a number of names and
to have been implicated in such cases
before. 1t was said that he came ny

but left hurriedly.

about so. 900 feet per day. 1t requires
about $50 hands at the factory and q

All of the indictments which were
pending against Isaac T. Jobe in the
United States courts OF New York will
be nolled, and United States Marshal
Tiv j, Fagin will return to the eastern
courts all documents sent to him for
the arrest of Jobe, which would have
taken place upon his release from the
Ohio penitentiary on Jan. IL, 1909,
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. This
action is taken in conformity with a
letter received by United States Dis
trict Attorney W. E. Bundy from U,
IS District Attorney Burnett for the
southern district of New York. The
letter states that physician was sent
to the penitentia. y and found Jobe in q
pitiable condition, owing to an open
sore on his head which has caused him
to become deranged. He is said to be
in dying condition, and for this rea.
son it is considered cruelty to punish
him any farther.
