STOLE VALUABLE RINGS
JOHN ARNOLD CAUSED THE DETEC-
TIvEs SOME WORRY.
His Scheme Was to Substitute n Cheap
Ring for One of Value While
Examining the Jewelry.

John Arnold. twenty years Of age and
living at 1O11 Roach street, North Indian
apolis, was arrested last night at Julius
Walks jewelry store and charged with
grand larceny. His onense is that known
to the police and detectives as penny
weighing" For six weeks the detectives
have been watching for him. but until last
right he eluded them. although his facial
appearance and manner of dress were such
that he could be picked out among thou
sands
The officers joked about not being able TO
find the man with the sign I'm the man
you want on his back. The first complaint
against him was made by Charles Mayer.
lie entered Mayer & Co.'S store on Satur-
day and asked to see some rings. He did
rot make a purchase. but after he had
gone it was discovered that one of the
rings In the tray set before him was miss
ing. He had taken it without exciting sus-
picion by leaving a 'phony" ring in its
place. The same method was used in
getting a $40 ring from j. p. Mutually, a
ieweler on the Circle. He also secured
rings of lesser value from the New York
store and at Wasson's. In the last two
places he was spotted" but he managed
to get out before the detectives
could reach the store.
Yesterday Detectives Kinney, Morgan,
Splan and Haley watched most of the day
for him on the streets. About $50 o'clock
a message was received at headquarters
that he had called at WassOn's. Detective
Haley was the only one on duty then and
he ran from the station house to the store
but the man had gone before he arrived.
lie hurried 10 Blocks but could not find
him there. Then. after looking through
several other stores he went to Walks.
where Arnold was found examining a tray
of diamond rings Hale walked up TO him
and took from his hand a cheap ring with
glass setting which Arnold later add
ritted he would nave substituted for one
Of the rings in the tray. He confessed to
having got rings from Mayors and Null

IN MRS. FREEZES CASE.
Supreme Court Asked for
Against a Judge.

A petition for a writ Of mandate against
Douglass Morris, judge OF the Fifteenth
judicial circuit of Indiana, was filed in the
Supreme Court yesterday by Attorney L. E.
Ritchey, representing Myra Freeze, who
was convicted OF murder in the second de-
gree at Shelbyville in October. The petition
asks the Supreme Court TO compel the
Judge to grant Mrs. Freeze a transcript of
the evidence in the murder trial, so that q
record can be sent TO the Supreme Court In
appealing the case.
Attorney Ritchey alleges that he was ap-
pointed by the judge to defend the woman.
as she was without means TO hire an attor-
ney, and that after a verdict sentencing her
to life Imprisonment was returned she
asked for a new trial. He further alleges
that the court would not order a transcript
of the evidence made for an appeal and
asks that the Supreme Court compel him to
order a transcript Of the evidence, to be
paid for out of the county fund.

MARTIN FREEZE GUILTY
WILL BE SENTENCED To PRISON
MANSLAUGHTER.
He stood by While His Wife shot and
Killed william Gray-She
Seeks a New Trial.

Martin Freeze. charged with murder. was
found guilty of manslaughter by the Grim
inal Court jury yesterday, after being
out forty-nine hours. His sentence will be
two to twenty-one years in the p~eniten-
tiary. He is now hfty-seven years old and
has a frail physique and 1t is believed that
he will not live out his sentence.
The crime for which he will go to prison
was committed by his wife. She shot and
killed William Gray, a contractor, at Red
Mills, in Shelby county, last summer. Gray,
she said, had assaulted her. She was tried
at Shelbyville and given a life sentence.
Her husband rode with her from their
home in Franklin to the Red Mills. He
had purchased a revolver for her and she
carried this concealed under her shawl all
the way to the mill. She shot Gray while
standing at the side of her husband.
Freeze then took her back to Franklin
and the two were later arrested. After
Mrs. Freeze had been convicted Freeze
had his case venued to this county.
Freeze has been in this country twenty
years and speaks with a foreign accent.
The woman now in the Reformatory is
his third wife. In the old country Freeze
served in the Franco-Prussian war in
which he was wounde three times, being
shot twice and receiving a saber thrust
through the neck.
There were two long contentious in the
juryroom, the first over Freezes guilt, and
the second over his punishment. The first
ballot stood six TO six for guilty and &C
quittal, then the balloting changed to eight
TO four for guilty, where IL stood for
twelve hours. The four then came over
and voted him guilty. The first ballot as
to punishment was six to six and then
eight to four, the eight being for murder
IN the first degree and life imprisonment
and the four for manslaughter. The four
held out until the eight came over to them
and agreed that his punishment should be
for manslaughter.

The police were not long in learning Of the
routine OF the games, and about $50 O'Clock

They rode to the place on a street car,
getting the motorman 10 stop directly in
front of the gambling house. 1t was a move
not anticipated by the outlook" and he did
not after discovering their presence have
time TO warn the players so they could get
out.

HINTON DISCUSSES CITY
 SCHOOL AFFAIRS
Claims Teachers Are Being Paid Extravagant Salaries
 Would Cut Out Sessions During Winter

us out this month Next spring We vii have some money"
 Mir Van Clcvc said he did not know why tho question of salaries for schoo. teachers came up before the mcctinv. Some of the teachers staid In Skagway last summer for the sake of teaching here the coming year. The school wa more than a month late in getting start cd. and the teachers arc now takiug chances on getting then pay. 10 seems that some gentleman expects them to lay around here two or three month during tho winter to get another month s pay.
 Mir Hcnton replied that it did not cor, the teachers any moro Co lay around hcry than it did him. School teachers. just a. bright as these. can be hired Co come C. skagway. We promised them nothing more than they are receiving. IT they stay. they win get their money in tine. These same ones will be willing Co tc1cr for less. They could not gc; what w. arc paying them anywhere else.
 Mir McGrath inquired if the school board had not entered into contuc' with the teachers for the school year.
 Mir. Van Cleve replied that there was no contract In writing. simply that they were notified in writing that their or. plicatlons for positions as teachers dur Ing the ensuing year had been accepted.
 Mir McGrlth said he did not think .' would be well to close the schools dur Ing this winter for that reason. He be- Hcved in living mp to contracts II, thought warrants could be issued on e., school fund. as that was the way ths council was running the city. whether thcrc was any money in the funds or nos.
 Mir Frank then said that the teachers were engaged Co teach school for thi year In engaging the teachers. ther' was nothing said as Co how m1ny months schooling we were Co have th year He did not think the teachers could dictate as Co how many month. constituted the school year, and that tL' school board had the right Co close down the school at any time they saw dt.
 Mir McGrath stated that he did not want the school board Co think that th, council was trying to suggest any polic,' for them to pursue. On the other haul he wished they would run the school themselves and not biing their troubles before the council.
 Mr Van Cleve remarked that th, school boarl could not run it. The schooI ordinance read that one officer of O.. board shall be designated by the council and the board had found that officer TO- fused Co act "We have no clerk" con ciudcd Mir. Van Clcve. "as the counri promised to give us"
 After some general discussion it wos concluded that the school board could keep on drawing warrants against the school fund.
