'lEV7 EIBE zzLED MONEY
is BEHIND PRISON BARS
Collector and Driver for the Waldo
Laundry Collected Money but Failed
to Turn it All In--Confesses in Court
That He Spent It for His Own Pur-
poses--Fails to Give Bond.

Homer Dewitt languishes behind
the Jail bars on very serious charge
the same sort of charge that has been
against him two or three times be-
fore within the past four or five
years. Luckily, he escaped punish-
ment on prior occasions, that is, 1t
was lucky for him, though it might
have been to the good of some, if he
had then gotten a trip, such as now
stares him coldly in the face on his
own confession.
Dewitt is charged by r. j. Galley
manager of the Waldo hotel, with
enlightenment. The amount has
been fixed at $3.50. At the in
stance of Mr.. Galley a warrant Is
sued from the Office of Squire Sam
uel w. Gordon Tuesday morning
against Dewitt and was placed in
the hands of Constable Andrew Lyon
who used due diligence in arresting
Dewitt. He was taken into the
magistrates office, where he was ask
ed TO enter plea. The unexpected
happened, when he said, '"Guilty."
Th Justice then fixed his bond at
$500 to answer an Indictment by the
next Harrison county grand jury for
enlightenment, and upon his failure
to give it, he was committed to jail
before the noon hour.
Dewitt has been employed as driv-
er and collector for the Waldo laun-
dry some time, and as such commit
ted the crime at various times, Will
shaking collections, until the short.
age amounted to at least the amour
named in the warrant.
Up to the time of his arrest Dc
witt remained in the employ of Mr.
Galley. When he confessed he stat
ed that he took the money fraEH
time to time and converted it to his
own use.
Heretofore there has been con
siderable sympathy for Dewitt but
his inclination to act in this way
has created Indifference among his
friends, who are inclined to believe
he has mania for such things.
Tt is stated that he lost the money
gambling but there is no veritica-
ton of the statement.
