MORE FRAUD INDICTMENTS
Thomas 5. Robinson Gives Bond ON
Five COUNT,

Five Counts.
rive indictments returned by the dis
trict court grand jury on September Is,
last, against Thomas S. Robinson of Farm
ington, Ia, an alleged member of the J..
c. Mabray gang of big store" swindlers,
were made public yesterday afternoon after
a bond in the sum OF SIS, 900, which had
been certified by the authorities of Van
Buren, county, had been approved here.
Robinson was arrested and brought to
Council Bluffs on July II Of this year
under a warrant issued from the court of
Justice Gardiner, lie was charged with
conspiracy in the case Of +. G.. Allspaugh.
of Terre Haute, Ind, who was buncoed
out Of $1,000 on a fake wrestling match
on August 3. Of last year in this city. He
was bound over to the grand jury and a
few days later secured his release on
bonds in the sum Of 81, 500. Robinson was
included in the blanket indictment re
turned by the federal grand jury and was
rearrested by the government authorities.
He furnished a bond in the sum of 5000,
and was permitted TO return to Farming
ton before the state officers could get
their hands on him.
one Of the five indictments in the state
court against Robinson is on a charge Of
conspiracy in connection with Allspaugh's
case, while the other four are based on
Robinson's alleged connection with the
Fleeing Of f. r. Marts, proprietor of a
general store at Polk City, Ia.
Marts, according TO his story told to the
district court grand jury, went up against
the Mubray gangs game twice. He came
10 Council Bluffs ON June 10, 1901, in COM
paly with Robinson and on June IA met
the gang at the Neumayer hotel, where
he bet $1,000 on a wrestling match in which
Robinson. he alleges was one Of the prin-
cipals. The match was pulled off and the
usual thing happened, one Of the wrestlers
was supposed 70 be fatally injured and all
the men gathered at the ringside, FASTENED
TO get out of the jurisdiction of the Iowa
authorities. Marts was induced to believe
that the result OF the wrestling match was
AN a mistake and that he would be given
an opportunity 10 recover his $1,000. The
proposition looked good TO him and Marts
returned 10 Council Bluffs two weeks later
and bet S,OJJ, expecting to regain his
former SlOOO. Robinson, TO show Marts
that the match was on the square Dor
rowed $40 al the r1nEside from the Polk

PRIDE PLEADS sELF-DEFENsE
Evidence to show His Victim Was
Insane.

Insane.
George Pride, the negro saloon porter
on trial in the district court for shoot
ing and killing Lucius Francis, a colored
man who roomed at the Pride home at
1925 Avenue b, on the morning of Au-
gust IL, last, claims that Francis at
tackled him with a razor and that he,
Pride, only shot when compelled to do
so in self-defense. Evidence was intro
duced by the defense yesterday to show
that Francis had acted strangely and
showed signs of mental arrangement.
John Turner, colored, a bartender at
the Davis saloon at the corner of Broad
way and Eleventh street, testified that
Pride was in the saloon early in the
morning of August IL and that before
taking a car for Omaha left his revolver
with the witness. Shortly after 10 o'clock
Pride returned from Omaha and went to
the saloon again, where Francis and
other colored men were at the time. Pride
got his revolver from Turner and walked
home and Francis followed. A few min
utes later Turner said he heard Of the
shooting. The witness said that Francis
showed signs of being insane that morn
ing and that he acted in an irrational
manner.

the effect that when he reached home
shortly before noon Francis followed and
on entering the house threatened to cut
Pride's read off with a razor. Suiting the
action to the word. Pride said, Francis
made a vicious lunge at him, which Pride
succeeded in evading and then Pride
struck Francis on the head with the butt
Of his revolver. The blow, however, &C
cording to Pride's story, did not phase
Francis and the latter went at Pride
again with the razor. Fearing for his
life. Pride said, he then shot Francis
who ran out of the back door and sue
ceeded in making his way to the south
side Of the bridge over Indian creek
near Broadway, before he dropped. Fran
els was conveyed to the Edmundson hos
pital, where he died soon after.

money and on figuring up he found that he
was out 800 and the expenses of his two
trips to Council Bluffs.
Two of the indictments against Robinson
charge larceny and conspiracy in con-
nection with Marts' first trip when he was
fleeced out of $1,000 and the other two are
on similar charges in connection with
MRrts' second trip when he dropped $2,070.
Robinson's bonds were originally placed
at $500 under each indictment, but Judge
Woodruff reduced the amount to $1,000 in
each count, making a total of $4,000 that
Robinson was required to furnish.
A number of other alleged members OF
the Mabray gang are included in the in
dictments against Robinson. but their
names were not made public yesterday.
1t is known, however, that Mabray is
named as one of the defendants in each of
the five Indictments.
