BURNERS REcoRDoF CRIME
Thirty-one Years of Age He Has Earned
Sentences Aggregating SO Years.

Thirty Years of Age He Has Earned
Sentences Aggregating SO Years.
The criminal record George Bur-
rier, who is now a witness in the Con-
roy conspiracy case on trial in Dav-
export, is one that has rarely been
equaled, according to the history of
the man given by the attorneys in
court. Although he is only 81 years
of age. at present Burrier has receiv-
ed sentences which aggregate So
V ears. and should he be compelled to
serve out the entire time which he
yet has coming, he will have to spend
% years of the remainder of his life
behind the penitentiary bars. Accord
ing TO the story of the attorneys, Bur
rier was criminally inclined when
yOungster and seems to have been
born with a mania for burglary and
hold-up business.
Burrier removed with his parents
from Missouri to Pennington, Iowa.
when he was years of age. and when
is years old was convicted of the
crime of burglary. but was let off with
a six months sentence On account of
his extreme youth. year later he
was given a year and a half in the
penitentiary, and when only 10 he was
found guilty of robbry and got five
years behind prison walls. Scarcely
had he been released when he went to
Indiana and soon after was caught in
a daring burglary and was sentenced
to IA years in the penitentiary.
After serving six years he was re-
leased on the stipulation that he en-
gage in lawful business, but his evil
tendencies soon ted him INFO the by
paths again, and he is alleged to have
joined the daring band of hCld-up
men who are supposed to have com
mitted crimes without number. I'll
was during that time that he came to-
Davenport. and the one reason that
he was caught there is his inclination
to liquor. He was caught robbing the
Cruys laundry and was bailed out on
a cash bend. of $3.50. The next heard
of him he was i'm Jail at Clinton. Then
it was that he pleaded guilty and told
the story that identified him as being
one of the most dangerous men that
the country has ever produced. He
received a 15-year sentence from there
timC.
An interesting bit of news has also
crept out as to where Burrier secured
the bail which released him from the
Scott county jail. 1t was supposed at
the time that his mother furnished
the money. but the attorneys state
that Burrier and a woman who runs
place that was headquarters for the
hCld-up gang became infatuated with
Burrier and he with her. He brought
Ter to the place in Omaha with some
of the plumber he had stolen and she
run one of the worst denS in that city.
Later when he got into trouble here
the woman sold out the place and il
was this money that was put up for
his bail. The woman's name is Eta
Edam and she is now at her mothers
home in Atlantic, or rather she was
until few days ago. as she is now in
Davenport, where she will be used as
witness i'm the trial which is being
heard.
