The case of state of Iowa W. ELLIS
worth Minccr for larceny from til,
person of b. Il. Henry, the old soldier
who came here last week from thu
soldiers home at Marshalltown an,
was druggcd and robbed. was heard III
day yesterday before Justice Crosby
and Judgment is to be rendered later
1t is probable that Mncer has proved
an albi in the case that Will release
him. If not that it yet seems that the
evidence is hardly strong enough tc
secure an Indictment by the grand
jury or a conviction if brought to trial
While many are of the opinion that
Mincer was an accessory before as well
as after the crime. there appears not
to be sufficient evidence to warrant the
pling up of further costs in the case.
AS to the guilt of W. Il. Johnson. there
is no question, as by his own confess
sion and the testimony Of his Wife. he
is guilty of larceny from the person
or of robbery. AS the original charge
against him was simple larceny, Jus
tice Crosby sentenced him to thirty
days In the county Jail at MonteZu-
! ma, where he was taken this morn
ing. The county attorney WILL in all
| proba biity. secure his Indictment la
ter upon the graver charge which will
| give him some years in the pentten-
| tiary The Wife of johnson Is to be
given the immunity she was promised,
| because of her evidence. She is thought
| by many who know her to be hardly
fully mentally responsible, and is per
| hapS to be more pited than blamed.
The money taken from Henry has not
yet been located and his ten days fur
| Tough is nearing its close.
