Mabray Suspect
Gets No Sympathy
from Neighbors
7. S. Robinson of Correctionville Said
to Be Old Hand in Foot
Racing Game.

CORRECTIONVILLE Ia, July H.-(Spe-
~cial)-special interest here attaches to the
binding over OF l.. S. Robinson in the
Council Bluffs courts for alleged active
association with the Mabray syndicate Of
swindlers. Robinson ran a hotel and
restaurant in Correctionvile, and his
father-in-law, Ed Masters, now Of Farm
lngton, Ia, and who has signed Robinson's
bonds, was at one time owner and operator
Of the Sioux Valley mills here. The Mas
tiers family was highly respected.
It is pointed out here that James May
elm OF this place lost a 5000 farm in a
foot race in a small town near Joplin,
Mo, seven years ago, in which Robinson
was one of the contestants.
Robinson professed to be a close friend
of Mayclin's, and for this reason wanted
to help the latter to some easy money"
Robinson was a foot racer of no mean
speed, holding a record for 100 yards Of
better than 10 seconds. It was Robinson
who In 1901 trained the Correctionville
High school track team so that 1t won 25
points at the Grinnell meet, while West
Des Molnes won the event with q points,
Grinnell being second with 26 points.
Robinson represented TO Mayclin that
he had made a match with a foot racer in
Missouri and tbs they had fixed IT.
Robinson was to lose the race. That
looked good to MaycIin. Here was his
fleet friend, who was not asklng any one
to hack him to win, but merely giving a
friend a tip that he was going to lose. II
looked as II any man could lose a race II
he wanted to and, gambling on Robinson's
assurance that it was a cinch, Mayclin
borrowed 5000 on his farm, went with
Robinson and saw the race, betting his pile
against Robinson. The men sprinted for
the tape in record time, but-of course 1t
was most observation-disclosures oppo-
nent fell down and Robinson just simply
had to win the race.
Mayclin dropped his 5000 and lost his
farm through 1t.
While living here Robinson made numer-
GUS mysterious trips to parts unknown.
usually returning flush with money or
sporting large and lustrous diamond studs
and rings. Once he met an acquaintance
from here at Colorado Springs.
IF you meet me on the street with any
body" said Robinson, don't recognize
me-"
Robinson had a good home here which
he sold to Supervisor Copeland. He was
affable and likeable, but none of his old
acquaintance can be found who undertake
to defend him in his late troubles.

Evidence Varies
in Sutton Case
Location Of Wound Tends to Dis
credit Repeated Stories Of
Suicide.

ANNAPOLIS, July 22.-The remarkable
variance in the testimony of some of the
naval officers who are witnesses before
the court of inquiry investigating the
circumstances surrounding the death Of
Lieutenant James N. sutton at the Naval
academy two years ago, was emphasized
at today's hearing by contradictory EVIL
dence as to the location Of the bullet wound
which caused the young mans death.
Question of the location of the wound
has Assumed Importance In the fact OF the
other evidence given, as II would appear
that IL would have been a much more diff
cult matter for Sutton to have shot him
self, lying prone on the ground with three
men on top OF him, II the bullet entered
the top of his skull, as Surgeon George
Pickrell, in charge Of the Marine hospital
at that time. testified 1t did.
Colonel A. Doyen. commandant Of ma
rlnes at the time, who holds the same post
now, testified that he examined Sutton
Immediately after the shooting and felt the
wound in his head, and that It was located
on the right side, a little behind and on a
fine with the top Of the ear. DIR. Pickrell
thought sutton might have inflicted the
wound upon himself, as he described II, but
he made an ~uHcoheincing and awkward
demonstration in court with the revolver,
and a free right arm, to get the weapon
In a position which would have the bullet
into his head at the point where he testi-
fled It entered Sutton's head.
Considerable progress was made at the
hearing today and three more witnesses
were disposed OF. Besides Surgeon Pick
relrs and Colonel Doyen's testimony, Mr..
Davis, counsel for Sutton's mother and
sister, finished lthe cross-examination OF

as far as Elkhorn.
Other cars in the tour began leaving the
Grand hotel at $50, and by 7:2O, all of them
had bid adieu to the Iowa city and were
chugging on their way to Kearney, a dis
lance of 200 miles, where a stop will be
made for the night.
In Omaha many Of the cars had passed
through before the local owners of autos
brought their cars to Farnam street to
greet the tourists as they flew by. 1t
had been announced that the Gliddenists
would go up Farnam at s o'clock and the
Omaha autoists and pedestrians did not
expect them until that hour. BY making
an early start at Council Bluffs. the tour
sits were brought into this city much

people were disappointed in not seeing
them pass.
But as it was there were several hundred

between Thirteenth and Twenty-fourth.
A few minutes before s, many other cars
cams down and made in all a highly credit
able showing for the local owners.
At 7:15, many people were crowded on
both sides of Farnam to review the pass

Farnam the crowd was so large that
four or five policemen were placed on duty
to keep the street cleared for the Glidden
