"OMAHA TRIO" ON
TRIAL FOR CRIME

Annotated Press to The Evening Times.
Minneapolis, Minn.. May 15.-The
hold-up and robbery of H. L. Ward,
OF North Dakota, for which Richard
Golden is on trial before Judge F. C.
Brooks, was the result of a carefully
planned plot in which all the mem
bers of the Omaha trio'' were impli-
Gated and which took three days in
consummation. This is the assertion
OF the state in the trial of Golden.
In his opening address to the jury
John Bernhagen, assistant attorney,
told the story of the hold-up as the
state would attempt to prove. He as
serted that Golden, Morgan and Geo.
Griggs had planned the robbery for
three days and that Golden had
''steered" Ward through the incidents
which led to the robbery.
H. l.. Ward, who asserts that he
was the victim OF the robbery, took
the stand and told an interesting
story of the events leading up to the
hold-up. He made a strong witness
for the state
Get Well Acquainted.
According to Ward, Golden struck
up conversation with him in the
Golden West hotel three days prior to
the robbery. Ward regarded him as
casual acquaintance and told him that
he expected to leave for the west when
he received draft from his parents
in England. Golden said that he in
tended going west himself and the two
men became we'll acquainted in the
next few days. On Friday, April 10,
Ward received the draft and got it
cashed. Golden proposed that they
take walk. and he and Ward strolled
over to Nicollet island.
Here they were met by George
Griggs, who said that he was strang-
er in the city and asked them to
direct him to local lumber company.
Golden and Griggs struck up con-
versation and finally entered into
penny matching game. The game de-
veloped into dollar contest. and
Ward was finally drawn into the
matching. 1t was finally proposed
that they go down near the railroad
tracks on the island and continue the
game.
Grab Money and Ran.
81 lost about two dollars" said
Ward on the stand. Then l took out
my pockethook to get more money,
and Griggs grabbed the two rolls of
$500 each and ran up the. bank.
Golden ran the opposite way"
Ward asserted that he chased
Griggs. but about that time Morgan,
masquerading as policeman, ap-
peared on the scene and delayed him
so that he lost sight of Griggs.
j. B. Kilkenny of Omaha, counsel
for the prisoners, put Ward through
strenuous cross-examination, but
failed to shake his testimony to any
extent.
An interesting feature of the trial
is the devotion of Golden's wife to her
husband. She attends every session
and sits next her husband. She is a
remarkably pretty woman.

MAY USE STEEL CASKS.
New Scheme For Safe Shipping of
BOOze-NOt Needed In North
nokntn

Associated Press to Tho Evening Times.
Peoria, ILL.,. May 15.-Adaptability
of using steel casks in shipping
whiskey is now being given a fair
test by Peoria and Pekin manufacture
ers.
A recent ruling from the internal
revenue department permits distillers
to use steel casks. They are made of
the same size as the regulation barrel.
but in one end there is placed a wood
top as required by the government, to
enable the gaugers and store keepers
to stencil the distinguishing marks on
each package.
The introduction of steel casks as
receptacles for whiskey promises to
revolutinize the cooper trade. The
coopers it is said, are unable to Sc
cure good lumber; that the wood now
in use is soft and although the barrels
are put through process of steam-
ing. does not insure the manufacturer
against less, either by seepage or
bursting enrOute.
