with having held up and robbed a
boy OF an Ingersoll watch in broad
daylight on Washington avenue. was
given a preliminary hearing in police
court this morning and the felony
charge against him dismissed
Koerkos seems TO have been the
victim in the case According TO the
Reese. he found the Greek standing
at the corner of Washington avenue
and Twenty fourth street. on Noyem-
Der 16 The Greek was waiting for
Superintendent Joseph Bailey TO come
out of the Office of the Rapid Transit
companys office The boy testified
that the man asked him what he
would take for his watch. Koerkos
contends that it was the boy who ac-
costed him and attempted to sell him
his watch
The timepieoe was attached to a
long chain and, as the boy passed it
TO Koerkos, the ring came from the
stem, leaving the watch in the mans
hand and the chain with the boy
Young Reese accused I<oerllos OF
breaking his watch and demanded
that he give him a dollar, The Greek
gave back the watch and told the
boy that he had not broken it and
would not pay him a dollar for the
damage The loud demands OF the
boy for the dollar began to attract
the people passing and the man
walked away. the boy following him.
For a block the crying urchin trailed

a dollar for the watch. Other pedes-
trians took notice and the man, be-
coming frightened. either struck or
pushed the boy from him and started
TO run.
From this point the chase was a
veritible moving picture episode and
Koerkos was soon captured by some
men who joined in the rush. Koer-
kos now offered to pay the dollar
which the boy demanded but was not
permitted to do so He was taken to
the police station and locked up.
Since then he has been a prisoner.

robbed young Reese.
Reese. although but eleven years
old, is lad of the street. Part of
his time is spent In salt / akc City

the evidence that on the day the sup
posed robbery was committed, the
boy desired to 90 to Salt Lake City.

him he said that he wanted to sell
the watch Tor a dollar so that he could
buy ticket TO Salt Lake. 1t was also
shown that the ring in the watch was
loose and that 1t could be very easily
taken from the stem or replaced.

who was prosecuting the case against
KoeTkos, admitted to the court that
there was not sufficient evidence TO
hold the defendant on a charge of
robbery and asked that the case be
dismissed The county attorney in

In the small room where the shooting
occurred? These will be hard ques-
tions for the defense TO answer
Believe Shot Was Fired From Rear.
Friends of Okono, VINO hold to the
murder theory, believe that there was
but one shot fred at the time of the
mans death This shot, they say, was
fred from the rear and killed Okono
without giving him chance for his
life. They claim that, had there been
4 struggle. there would have been
evidence of it in the room OF death
Okono's clothes would have been
disheveled Nothing was found dis
turbed in the room and the dead mans
clothes showed no signs Of a strug-
gle.
1t is contended that Kawshata and
others concOcted the plot to murder
Okono for his yaluabes and that after
he had been shot in cold blood the
discharged cartridge and two others
were taken from the gun by the as,
sasSinS and the gun carried by Kaw-
Shata to the police station, The same
friends Of the dead man explain the
mystery OF the ring being on the
wrong finger by the theory that in the
excitement Of the murderers after the
deed, having taken the signet ring off
in order to steal the diamonds they
replaced it upon the wrong finger
Wife Retains an Attorney.
That the ring was on a different
finger than where it was usually worn
is evidenced. not only by the state
ments of Mrs. Okono and the man
who accompanied her, but by a tell
tale mark upon the third finger. A
mark made by the long wearing OF the
ring on this particular digit
So confident Is Mrs Okono that her
husband was murdered, she has re-
tanned Attorney Badger to assist the
local authorities in prosecuting the
case against Kawshata.

To improve the bill at the Orpheum
this week would be almost Impossible,
as it IS without doubt one Of the
greatest Vaudeville performances ever
seen in Ogden The Orpheum Thea

bills this season. but there has been
none which could quite compare with
the present one CUmedy-lots OF it
and the kind that makes you laugh
I'm spite of yourself music that thrills
the soul, and carries your thoughts
away from Vaudeville playhouse to
that of n hlgh-priced Grand Opera
House. for the bill contains trio OF
Grand Opera singers whose rendi-
ton Of several Operate selections has
never been equalled in ogden before.
In fact it would be a hard matter to
express the real merits of the bill and
do 1t full justice, for it has TO be
seen TO be appreciated. -
