SAD PLANT OF
GIRL IN COURT
Had No Father to Guide Her and
Ruin Came Into
Family.
STATEMENT OF EDNA THOMAS
Unusual Spectacle Presented of Dis
trict Attorney Being Called
To Witness Stand.

"If I had had a father living or a
brother, Martin Hoben would never
have brought ruin in our household"
So declared Edna Thomas today in
Judge Armstrong; court, her voice
trembling with emotion. The state
ment was made while the witness. who
is the complainant in the case. was I'M
der cross examination and was elected
by the question as to how many there
were in the family She replied. her
mother. herself and one sister consti-
tuted the family, and then added the
words quoted above.
AT another point in her testimony
Miss Thomas turned to Judge Arm
strong and said: II cannot bear to
have that thing indicating Hoben, sit
staring at me in that manner The
court replied that the defendant had
the right to be present and no re-
straint could be placed upon him as 10
where he should look. Counsel for the
accused suggested that witness need
not cast her eyes In that direction,
suggestion she strictly followed there
after.
On the stand today Miss Thomas re-
cited the story of the wrongs she
claimed to have suffered because of
Hoben, and told of the tantalizing man
ner in which he had threatened her at
various times when she appealed to
him to right the wrong he had done
her.
Witness was asked whether or not
her attorney. A. b. Elder. had institut-
ed the case for effect against Attor-
ney Robinson and County Attorney
Hanson. with a view of having the
latter removed from office.
MIR. Robinson and Mr.. Hanson were
the things farthest from our minds.
replied the witness. MIR. Elder is not
that kind of man. Counsel asked If
that was her opinion of Mr.. Elder, after
admitting that Mr. Elder had advised
her to swear falsely in relation to her
age.
Again today Miss Thomas admitted
that she was over is years of age when
the circumstances occurred that formed
the foundation of the complaint against
Hoben, she having been born In Iowa
Nov. u, 1887, while at the preliminary
hearing she had testified that her natal
day was just one year to the day later.
DISTRICT ATTORNEY ON STAND,
Just before the noon recess the un-
usual spectacle was witnessed of the de-
Tense calling to the witness stand the
district attorney. Mr.. Robinson, coun-
sci for Hob,an. asked that Mr.. Loot
borrow DO called TO TESTIFY ana give MS
reasons for having opened a certain
package OF affidavits in the chambers
OF Judge Armstrong.
The witness replied that he had had
an order of the court for the papers re-
ferred to, having obtained them from
Clerk King, who acted upon instructions
OF Judge Richie during the absence
of Judge Armstrong
As there are many witnesses to be
heard the case win likely not go TO
the jury today.

AMERICAN BANKERS ASSN

The real inspiration to the Pinker-

Bankers association. Two ends stand
constantly before them One Is that
the safety OF an banks demands that
there shall be a gospel fully under
stood. and creed written on every
crooked mind, that to steal. means
you go to Jail especially when you
steal from Pinkerton protected bank.
IT IL for that reason that Individual
cases of theft are followed far beyond
the demands OF the bank which loses
the money Precedent is power rs
Pinkerton axiom. No man must steal
from bank with a precedent before
him that Others did IT and got away
is a coroleary to it,
