Chief of Police Is Notified That {
State Warrant Has Been Issued
For His Arrest.
CLAIM CHICAGO LOSSES LARGE
James Lenert. One Of the Victims of Elliott.
Claims That He Secured Several Hun
dred Dollars From Chicago Men.

Although Captain Charles Elliott
was given a very light sentence by
Judge S1osson in the County Court
| Monday morning, it is probable that
it will be some time before he enjoys
freedom, for the Chief of Police this
morning received letter from Chi
cago stating that a State warrant
had been issued in that city for
the arrest Of Elliott on a charge
of passing worthless checks, and the
| Chicago authorities will ask to have
Elliott tnrned over to them as soon as
/ he completes his term in the Kenosha
County jail.
The letter reveals considerable in
regard to the transactions of Elliott
| in the last few months, and if the
!! statements made by the writer are
true, it is probable that Elliott will
have hard time finding 1eniency in
the courts of Illinois as it was extend
ed to him in this County. The letter
was written by James Lenert, a whole
sale dealer in mats, residing at No.
157 East Division street, Chicago. In
| his letter Lenert alleges that Elliott
managed to worm his way into his
confidence long enough to secure his
consent to cash a check for ten dol
lars. The check was similar to the
one passed in Kenosha, and when
lLenert took il to the bank he was at
once notified that it was worthless.
| Lenert states that he at once secured
a State warrant for the arrest of
Elliott, and that he now holds this
warrant pending the release Of
Elliott from the County jail in this
city.
In a postscript to his letter to the
Chief of Police, Lenert states that
| Elliott worked extensively in Chicago
| and that he managed to secure sew
era1 hundred dollars on worthless
checks. None of the Chicago losers
are afflicted with any sentiment in
regard to the prosecution of Elliott,
and they are eagerly awaiting his re-
turn to that city.
| Chief Reino1d has notified Lenert
that as soon as Elliott has served his
term in the Kenosha County Jail he
will be turned over to the officials in
Chicago if they desire him. Of course
Elliott will have every chance to get
out of standing trial as it will be
necessary for the Chicago officials to
secure extradition papers and as the
amounts are small it is possible that
the officers will decline to spend the
time and money necessary to bring
Elliott to trial. It is probable that
had the courts of Kenosha known of
the charges against Elliott in Chi
cago, he would not have been let off
with SO light punishment.
