Friends Save Weston Householder
From Going to Prison
RELEASED FROM CITY JAIL YESTERDAY
MAN HE FLIMFLAMED REFUSES

Lee Kennard, the Weston householder
Adolph Schwarz, for having passed a
bogus check for $22 on the Fountain
saloon nearly a month ago, succeeded
in raising the necessary wherewith to
reimburse Mr.. Schwarz yesterday af
ternOOn and was released from custody.
Kennard viewed sojourn in the PEN
itentiary with deep concern and spent
all Of Saturday and yesterday fore
noon in endeavoring to raise the
amount he flimf1ammed Mr.. Schwarz
out of and square up the matter. Just
about the time that Kennard had
given up hope a Walla Walla friend
came forward with the money and
Kennard was released. Remarks
wife at Weston telephoned a member
of the police force that she would have
the money in Walla Walla today if
her husband was released, but she was
informed that money talked and that
Kennard would be held until the mat
ter was Strengthened up.
Mrs Kennard then berated the Off
Ger over the telephone, informing him
that if the police would close up few
of the saloons in Walla Walla that de-
cent people would not be getting into
trouble and there would be no use for
the penitentiary. The dialogue ended
by the officer hanging up the receiver.
Kennard returned to Weston last night
considering himself lucky that he es-
capped so easily. Mr.. Schwarz did not
feel like pressing the charge aainst
Kennard in view of the latter's family.
Kennard claimed that he was under
the impression that he had money on
deposit in the Farmers Savings bank
at the time he drew the check and in
tended no wrongdOing.
