BOYS Who Assaulted and Almost
Killed Aged Hermit in Court
at Storm Lake
ROBBERY WAS THE MOTIVE
Victim an Old Soldier Who Lived
Alone-Hovered Between Life and
Death Many Days - Accused Boys
Are Sons of Prominent and WeIlto-
Do Business Men.
Special to Times~Republican.

Storm Lake. March 19.-With few
much interest in Buena Vista county
as that of the two Newell boys for
assaulting Samuel Carson, an old sol
der of Newell on Wednesday, Febru-
AIRY IL, which is being tried in the dis
lrict court here this week. The bru-
tality of the crime and the prominence
of the families of the two boys, War
rem Dale and Ralph Layman, makes
the case interesting.
Since the early days Samuel Carson
has lived almost d hermit's life IN a
little one room barren cottage on the
outskirts of Newell. In the days Of the
civil war he answered the call and did
valiant service. For this service he
received a pension which was his only
means of maintenance. On the after
noon of February II he had received
his pension check amounting to about
$50 and this he was supposed to have
cashed. During the evening. while he
w
was cooking upon the stove. some one
entered his cabin. slugged and robbed
him of a $40 gold piece and some
change. Two days later he was found
lying in pool of blood upon his bed
in an unconscious condition, with his
head bruised and crushed For days
he lay in a stupor with seemingly no
ray of hope for his recovery.
Suspicion at once turned to Warren
Dale and Ralph Layman. They are
sons of highly respected business men,
hut had been leading a reckless and
wild life. The very evening of the
crime they took the evening passenger
train for Fonda where they spent the
night in a riotous way. Young Dale
had $40 gold piece and had it changed
at a pool hall in Fonda. This was the
first thing that betrayed them. The
following day they returned to their
home in Newell. Altho suspicion from
the first pointed to these youths, no
arrests were made. A trap was finally
set for Dale and he was lured to Va
r:na, where he stole small sum OF
money and was arrested and placed in
iail at Pocahontas. He then con-
fessed to the crime committed upon
Carson and implicated his pal, Lay
man. The latter's arrest followed. but
his father went his bond for $1,000.
Dale went to Jail.

knew where some was; Harry went
to Mack Green, and Mack went to -
Grant, and Grant is said to have
produced the goods. Under the law,
it is a crime to transport and deliver
illicit liquor, and accordingly the
