Max ShinbOrn Finds Himself
Again Behind the Bars
HELD ON LARCENY CHARGE
No Direct Evidence Against Aged
Bank Robber, but His General
sble Victim of Circumstances

After only two days liberty, follow
ing thirteen years imprisonment for
bank robberieS. Max ShnbOrn is again
in Jail on charge of larceny of 5000
from Daniel Ketcham of Adrian. Mich.
a lodger in house at Boston. where the
released prisoner engaged room imme-
diately after his discharge from the
New Hampshire state prison on Easter
Sunday
This man, known internationally as
1.-The king of bank burglars" continues
to claim, as he has done for years.
that he is not Shinborn, but that his
name is Henry f.. Moebus. He protests
his innocence of the latest charge
against him, and when heard in the
municipal court he had some bitter
things to say about police persecution.
He decared Il had rather have given
5000 away than to have taken it from
any one at this time
The aged man--he is % years old
told to the court complete story of his
+ movements since his arrival in Boston
Sunday from Concord. y. H.. hopeful
of enjoying the brief remainder of his
life at liberty. He said that. acting
upon advice of the prison chaplain. he
went to the Boston Young Mems Chris
tian association and asked them to di-
rect him to lodging house. He went
to the address mentioned and engaged
a room.
Kctcham, the other ledger. claims
that some time between and l p. m,
/ Sunday. 5000 was stolen from his room.
/ He said that it had been hidden be-
meath the mattress of his bed.
Mrs. Barry. the andlady of the house
! reported the matter to the police and
! Shinborn was taken into custody with
out direct evidence that he had stolen
any money, but on the strength of his
general record. Before Judge Murray
in the municipal court. he was heard
and held in $1,000 bonds for the May
term of the grand jury. Judge Muir
ray declared that there was probable
cause in holding the man from the
fact that money had been stolen ut d
time coincident with the released pris
oner's stay at the lodging house.
The small crowd of spectators anC
newspaper men in the courtroom Wert
apparently moved by the plea of limo
cence which the aged man made. ant
it was popular sentiment expressed
outside that he was a victim of cir
cumStanceS.
The prisoner was removed to tn,
Tombs, and unless bail is procured H.
will be kept in Jail until the grand jur.
COnVeneS next month.
