RObtsr Of Five Men Decides to Make
Fight in Court,
IDENTIFIED BY AND IDENTIFIES VICTIMS
W. n. Dorrance Tells FIRED Leonard
He May Thank Joe sherry for
saving Life and Prisoner
IL Indifferent.

Fred Leonard, the young man arrested
Tuesday night after an exciting holdup OF
five men at the Clark drug store, Twenty
fourth and Seward streets, was arraigned
Wednesday morning in police court on four
complaints filed by Deputy County Attor-
ney Fitch. Leonard decided TO plead not
guilty and expressed a wish to engage an
attorney. His preliminary hearing was set
for Friday morning. The prisoner lie held
in the sum Of 1890 for each OF the four
cases. There are three charges OF robbery
against Leonard, these being sworn to by
Guy c. Fleming, Frank Bandle and J. r.
Hammond. The fourth complaint is as
sault with intent to murder Frank Bandle.
The holdup OF the ive men by lone, un-
masked man is characterized as one OF the
most sensational crimes of that nature
perpetrated here for long time. Leonard
went at the work in hand with considera-
BILE boldness and but for the neet-footed
deputy coroner. w. II. Dorrance, the roboer
might have escaped,
Joe sherry Saves Him.
But for the timely intervention of Deputy
Sheriff Sherry. Leonard would have Jared
much worse than he did at the hands OF
number who were inclined to handle him
roughly.
AT the city Jail Wednesday morning, be-
fore police court, Leonard was taken from
his cell to meet the victims Of his robbery.
Mr.. Dorrance asked Leonard II he recog-
nized him. @Leonard said he certainly did.
You can thank Joe Sherry that you are
not down at the morgue this morning in
stead of here" remarked Dorrance.
Are you an undertaken" asked Leon
ard OF Dorrance. ''Then wish they would
have finished the Job last night" continued
Leonard.
In answer to another question Leonard
said he had been implicated in a few other
robberies He said he is 30 years OF age
and came to Omaha but a few days ago
He is small of stature. He said he hailed
from Peoria, Ill.
Seen Early in the Day.
Several residents in the vicinity OF the
Clark drug store say they noticed Leonard
hanging around the vicinity two hours be-
fore the holdup occurred. Tom Gallagher
reports that a man whom he has Identified
as Leonard asked him for few matches
shortly before the robbery. Having only
one match, Mr. Gallagher says, Leonard
abused him for not having more II Is
said Leonard had a partner somewhere IN
the neIkhborhood OF the crime.
The hve men who were held up eN-
amined Leonard's revolver at the jail
wednesday morning and their unanimous
opinion was that the weapon shrank sew
eral feet during the night, Leonard is
regarded as no novice at the business. He
does not resemble a Sunday school teacher
in facial expression.
Ieonard's record is being looRed up by
the police. AS yet the authorities have
learned nothing as to his sntecedents.
All the plumber taken by the man has
been located, some of the articles being
found in the weeds along Seward street,
where Leonard ran from the drug store,

HUMANE SOCIETY HAS
DOUBLED YEARS WORK

Rough notes Of the annual report Of
the Humane society, soon to be issued,
show marked increase in all branches
OF the work. The total number Of
cases has increased from 2,Ol5 in 1904
to 1900 or more for the year now draw
ing to close. In the special branches
of the work the increase shown will
be still more marked, the figures in
many cases being doubled. The worl.
among children has almost doubled
Last year LOO children received care
or protection from the society. This
years report will show that 1000 or
more have passed thru it's hands. Where
last year thirtytwo children were
placed in institutions Of various kinds,
forty-five were placed this year.
In the matter of DELINQUENT and
abused children, the statistics for 1906
will show a falling off. This IS due to
the fact that such eases now come be-
fore the Juvenile court, which has au-
thorlty to commit delinquents to the
state schools and to take ill-treated
children from their parents. The mum
Der of girls, sheltered and cared for
will appear as about four hundred, the
exact figures arc not available at pres
ent. Last year the number was 252.
IL regard to the care of dumb animals,
the forthcoming report will show that
the number cared for in 1904, 1900
has been nearly, if not quite, doubled.
