VEAL THY, Y,SHE
is SENTENCED
FOR ROBBERY
WIFE OF RICH MANUFACTURER
MUST GO TO PRISON
Mrs. Evelyn Romadke of Milwaukee
Convicted of Being Accom-
pIiee of Negro
Thief
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press
CHICAGO Nov. 15.-After trial which
lasted only eleven minutes, Mrs. Evelyn
Romadke, the wealthy Milwaukee, woman
who was indicted for various burglaries
and larcenies in this city, was sentenced
today by Judge Brentano to Imprisonment,
in the penitentiary for the indeterminate
term of from one to ten years.
Early in the day Attorney John l.,
Donovan of milwaukee,, counsel for Mrs
Romadke, announced his intention of ap-
plying to Judge Brentano for a lunacy
commission to examine the prisoner. This
was not done because of disagreement
regarding the proper method of defense,
and Mr.. Donovan in court expressed a de-
sire to retire from the case. Permission
to do this was refused by the court.
Attorney Heron addressed the court
declaring that Mrs. Romadke was being
railroaded to prison for the purpose Of
protecting others who preferred to see
her in the penitentiary rather than in an
asylum.
T. ]. Cain of Oshkosh, Wis, the father
of Mrs Romadke, asked permission to eX-
plain his attitude in the case, but Judge
13rentano would not permit him to talk.
Assistant States Attorney Short declared
that no effort was being made to railroad
the prisoner, saying that she was receiv-
ing treatment similar to that in any other
case.
The court asked Mrs. Romadke what
attorney she desired to represent her. She
replied "Mr. Donovan" but asked that
her plea of guilty entered originally on
her arraignment be allowed to stand. She
also said she would like to have the court
pass sentence at once
Attorney Heron then declared that
Mrs. Romadwe was incapable of judg-
ing what plea was proper to make and
asserted that she was mentally incapaci-
tated. The trial proceeded as if a plea
of not guilty had been entered. The tax
ing of evidence was brief and Judge Bren-
tano Immediately pronounced sentence.
Mrs Romadke is the wife of trunk
manufacturer in Milwaukee and was con-
victed of being accessory to the burglarics
and larcenies of Albert Jones, negro.
Jones made free confession when ar
raigned and is awaiting trial

"I have received requests from build

"As far as Railroad Commissioner
Wilson is concerned, the legislature will
have to remove him.
THE attorney general has advised re-

Wilson will fight or not.
Il can not see why he should. and yet

1T would not surprise me If he opposed
any efforts to remove him. If he thought
anything of bis family he would not make
a public fight.
If he opposes impeachment it will be
on the grounds that the crimes he COM
mitted were not done in the capacity of
state railroad commissioner, but in the
capacity of a San Francisco supervisor
BE 1t as it may, he will be removed"

BANDITS ROB
CAR CREW AT
END OF LINE
FMoTpRMAN, PREPARED, HAS
CASH IN SHOE
Men Thought to Have Perpetrated
Recent Similar Crime Jump
from cIump of Trees
to Trolley

Car 547 Of the Eastlake park line of the
Los Angeles railway was held up last
night at 11:40 o'clock, at the end of the
line near the Indian crafts exhibition,
and the conductor robbed of $3.50.
The robbery was committed by two
men, presumably the same who recently
held up the Moneta avenue car at Ascot
Park.
Both men were armed with revolvers,
but neither wore masks and a fair de-
scription of the highwaymen was OBJ
tained,
The car was in charge OF Motorman
Edward Somers and Conductor R. Liv-
engood. 1t had just reached the end oe
the line and the conductor was chang
ing the trolley and the motorman was
walking to the rear of the car when two
men suddenly appearedsf out of the
shadows cast by the gum trees alongside
the track and covered them with re-
volvers.
Throw up your hands!' was the terse
command. and both men obeyed the
order.
Livengood was then ordered into the
car, and while enc man kept them COW
cred with his pistol the other searched
the crew. {,
From the conductor was obtained 81 in
scrip.
81 guess we can use this all right. .
he said.
Then he found So gold piece. "Real
money at last" he remarked and showed
It down on top of the scrip. Silver change
to the amount of $3.50 was emptied from
the conductors change belt. -
Somers had been reading about hold
ups and was prepared. While he carried
considerable money he had taken the pre-
80, oil In n chn xuna, L..
first left the barn, and the search of his
pockets revealed nothing.
"Guess you knew we were coming" re-
marked the searcher. You boys can skin
out now; it's behind your leaving time,
anyhow"
With that the two men jumped from
the car.
The larger of the two men was de-
ccribed to the police as being fully six
feet in height and weighing 175 pounds.
He was smooth shaven, with dark hau
and eyes, wore light colored soft nat
and dark suit of clothes.
The second man was about 5 feet G
inches in height. smooth shaven, sandy
complexion and wore a dark hat and
clothes
In a general way they answer the de-
scription of the two men who held up the
Moneta avenue car at Ascot park, ard
the police believe that the two robberies
were committed by the same men.
Grocery Store Robbed
Two hours previous to the holdup of
the Eastlake park car two men entered
the Brown grocery at the end of the
Eagle Rock car line and at the point of
pistols robbed the proprietor, who was in
the act of closing his store, of a small
amount of change which he had in the
TILL
later two men answering their descrip-
ton left the Eagle Rock car on Avenue
28 and made their way in the direction
of a crosstown car on Downey avenue.
Sheriffs officers who were detailed to
the case were unable to obtain any clew
to their movements after this, but it is
believed that they are the men who
aftarward robbed the car crew.
