ed. and then the defendant was placed
on the stand in his own behalf. He at
tempted to explain the reasons why
he was found at the home of Mrs.
Mincks upon three different occasions,
and he made a very plausible explana-
ton. This closed his defense. and

$500 which he has not yet been able to
secure. After Schwartz had been Civ
en- his trial yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
Mincks was arrested upon an informa-
ton sworn to by Mrs. Schwartz, charg-
ing her with the larceny of the lat
ter's watch. Mrs. Mincks was taken
into custody and her searched

alleged hat her husband took the al
ticle and gave it to Mrs. Mincks, but
this statement was not borne out by the
later developments. After her room
had been searched and the watch was
not found, Mrs. Mincks vas released.
