HE DECLINED TO PLEAD;
HIS BOND IS $500
Peter Stevenson, Aged Man Charged
With UnmcntionabIe Crime,
Must Stay in Jail Until
Next October

This morning at 1890 o'clock,
Peter Stevenson, an aged man who
has been employed in the capacity of
under day clerk Mt IA local hotel, was
arraigned before Justice of the Peace
Joseph +. Sweeney to answer to the
horrible charge of having criminal
relations with girl of II years.
Stevenson was arrested Sunday
morning on a warrant sworn out by
John Lescano. who mas resided in
Grand Junction for a number of
years and who for time was en-
gagged in the floral business in this
city. Lescano charged that Steven
son had outraged his 14-year-old
daughter, Ethel
Stevenson. protesting his inno-
cence and declaring that he could
prove the charges groundless, was
taken to the county jail.
1t seems that Stevenson, who is
63 years of age. has frequently Wis
tied the Lescano family at the home
on West Main street and seemed to
be greatly interested in Ethel, but
no suspicion that he had criminal in
tentions was fastened upon him. His
advanced age and his respectable
manner made such suspicious i'm
probable.
given the little girl money on sever
al occasions and frequently made
her presents. II is said that he had
told several people who had noticed
his interest in her that the girl was
his granddaughter.
Yesterday morning a sister of lit
tie Ethel reported to her parents
that she had just seen Stevenson and
Ethel in compromising position and
had been Mortified by what she saw.
The enraged parents at once had
Stevenson arrested.
This morning, when the aged man
appeared in court, he seemed de-
jected and hopeless. He absolutely
declined to enter a plea, waived a
preliminary examination and was
| then bound over to the October term
| of the Mesa county district court.
His bond was fixed at $4,000. He
was unable to give bond and was
returned to jail, where he must
spend more than six months await
ing trial.
The action of Stevenson this
morning in refusing to enter a plea
and waving examination would in
dicate that he must fear the conse-
quences of trial. He has not con-
suited an attorney.
The arrest has caused considera-
BILE surprise. The defendant is quite
we'll known in the city and to the
travelling public. He has at all times
seemed to be a quiet. respectable old
gentleman. deporting himself to all
outward appearances in a gentle
manly way. His employers state
that he was found to be honest and
industrious and they are greatly sur
prised' at the disclosure.
stevenson has friends who are in
clined to believe that he will be able
to prove himself innocent Others
acquainted with the details of the
case believe that his guilt will be

them standing facing the moon with
glasses aloft The toast was drunk
and the glasses shattered to the
