BEN WILSON HELD
BUT He REFUSES
TO SAY. ANYTHING

Ben Wilson. colored, who says he
is from Memphis. was arrested on a
charge of robbery by Patrolmen
Merry and Barber. and this morning
charge of obtaining money by false
pretenses was added to his lot. Late
yesterday afternoon it is alleged that
Wilson priced rear window up at
the residence of Gene Digs, 500
North Eighth street, and entered the
house. He stole a pistol and other
articles, but took the pistol to Ike
Cohen, a pawnbroker. and sold it.
The patrolmen secured a clew and
arrested Wilson last night at Eighth
and Harris streets. When searched
he had three razors, about a hun
dred cartridges and three photo
graphs, all of which were identified
by Digs. Wilson refuses to talk,
but the police believe the patrolmen
made a good catch, and 1t is said
several other robberies may be placed
10 his credit. This morning he was
held over to the grand jury, and his
bond was fixed at $500 in each case.

Frankfort, KY, May S.-Circuit
Judge r. l.. Stout, of Versailles, pre-
Isiding judge of the Fourteenth dis
trict, has instructed the grand jury
of Scott county to inquire carefully
into the legality of the troops patrol
ing Scott county in times of peace
without the request of the civil au-
thorities as is provided in the consti-
tuition. He said that he had inquired
and learned that the troops had not
been requested by County Judge J. J.
Yates, nor Sheriff Warning, nor by
himself, nor had they reported to any
of these officials. He instructed the
grand jurors to call the troops in be-
fore them and find out who sent them
into the county, and for what pur-
pose they were sent there.
"If they are here for the purpose
OF intimidating the people then they
and those who sent them are guilty
of conspiracy" said Judge Stout,
land all connected with the con-
|spiracy should be indicvted."
The troops we're sent into the coun-
ty under the instructions of Governor
Wilson and Adjutant General John
'ston, and If ordered by the chief ex-
'ecutive of the state, and the highest
military official In the commonwealth
will have to go before the Scott
county grand jury to give their testi-
mony. Judge Stout instructed the
grand jury to indct without fear or
favor. That il the troops. were lille
gally sent into Scott county, those
who sent them should pay the pen
atty of the law. As result of these
instructions a squad of the state
guards who have been patrolling in
Scott county, just over the Franklin
county line, appeared before the
grand jury. They wers closeted with
the grand jury for some time. but de-
clined to talk when they came out of
the grand Jury room.
