he could not win out in this particular
suit and he comes back here and
brings Hank Lindsay to the court
mouse to go on his bond. The $500
had been turned over in the meantime
to MI Thomas, the clerk of the dis
trict court.
Lindsay put up a $500 bond and
WINE Mr.. Thomas was writing a check
Tor Plgg for his $500, he stole the bond
that Lindsay had just put up. Within
hfteen minutes after stealing the bond
ne hunted up Lindsay, produced the
stolen bond, told Lin dsay he did not
need to act as his bondsman any long
er as he had been allowed his liberty
on MS own recogniZance. Then he tore
the bond up before Lindsay's eyes and
threw the scraps away. He COM
m1tted this theft and destroyed the
bond so that he would not have to pay
Lindsay for his trouble in furnishing
the bond.
ut is my honest belief" Mr..
Schenck went on, that if this court
made his bond $50 or $4,000 he would
steal 1t II he could before he got out
OF this courtroom. That's his record.
to be compelled to furnish a good bond
and big one, it is Bob Pigg. The
bond ought to be held where it is. If
it is changed it ought to be made larg-
er instead of smaller"
Judge Simon announced that in view
OF the circumstances in the case he
did not consider a $4,000 bond excess
s1ve and he bound Pigg over for trial
IN the district court under such bond.
This case against Pigg will not
come up for trial until the September
term of the court. If Pigg meets
with no better success in his search
for bondsmen than he has in the past
rev days 1T is likely that he will have
until September, anyhow.
May Get A T. Pigg.
aaron L. Pigg, whom jurors serving
in the case against his brother, Robert
Pigg, for his violations of the law in
the running of the Canadian club,
have accused him of offering them
brides to hang the jury. has not re-
turned from Kansas City, Mo-, where
he went on Sunday night.
j. j. Schenck, the county attorney,
day as to whether or not he had COM
pleted chain of evidence against
P1gg that would surely send him to
the penitentiary, but there is reason
for the belief that Mr.. Schenck is sat
lsfed with the case he has worked up
against Aaron Pigg and that he will
issue a warrant for his arrest at al
most any time.
While no authoritative information
on the subject is obtainable it is likely
that Sheriff Wilkerson has Aaron
Pigg under surveillance in Kansas
City. 1t was learned this morning
that Sheriff Wilkerson is going to
Kansas City this afternoon, and when
he goes he may take with him a war
rant which ~-sll be of sufficient
strength to permit the Kansas City,
Mo-, police authorities to take Pigg
into custody as fugitive from JUS
tice.
Mr.. Pigg has mistaken idea if he
thinks he is safe from arrest in Mis-
souri, or any other state in the union.
The charge preferred against him by
the jurors is a felony and he can be
arrested any place in this country and
brought back to Topeka for trial on
extradition papers, if he should object
There will be no let up on the part
Of Mr.. Schenck to send Aaron Pigg to
the penitentiary for his tampering
with the jury and it is possible that
some crimes of a more serious nature
may be laid at his door.
