Circumstances Were to

The following in regard to the
George Marble case, at Kenosha Wis.
where he was &C used of plundering
material from the Rambler Automo-
bile Company, is from the Kenosha
Times, and ~narrates the v~indication
of George A. Marble, formerly of
Plymouth:
George A. Marble arrested two
weeks ago on a charge of grand lar
ceny in connection with the thefts
at the plant of the Thomas X. Jeffery
Company walked out of the munich
pal court a free man this morning
and he carried with him a complete
vindication so far as the charges
made against him were concerned.
Later in the day he went to the plant
of the company and resumed his posi-
ton of responsibility as store keeper
for the company. The vindication of
Marble did not come as a surprise
for many people and especially those
who had, known Marble best had de-
clared from the first that they believ-
ed that he would be able TO show
that he was innocent of any wrong
doing. The hearing of Marble was
set for this morning and when it
was called District Attorney Baker
addressed the court and said: 81
want to move for the dismissal of the
charges against Mr. Marble and in do
ing so | want to say to the court
that the suspicious circumstances
which led to the connection of Mr..
Marble with this case have been ex-
planned in such a manner as would
imply the innocence of Mr.. Marble.
As an impartial prosecutor | have
gone into the ease and | believe that
my duty to the state is not stronger
than my daty to the defendant aud
| I'm satisfied that there is no evil
dence here to convict the defendant
of the charges. If l as prosecutor
accept the explanations of ell circum-
stances in the light of the innocence
of Mr.. Marble / feel convinced that
it would be impossible for a jury
to take any other view of the case.
| felt at the time the facts were
submitted to me that there was pro-
badly cause for the arrest of Mr..
Marble but | do not think that there
is probable cause to hold him for
trial in this or any other court.
In granting the motion of the dis
trict attorney Judge Randall said it
is some pleasure t ONE to be able to
grant the motion of the district at
torney for the discharge of Mr.. Mar
BILE as the Ease has been one which
| have regarded with regret and it
is a matter Of personal satisfaction
for me to know that the district at
torney feels that the evidence he had
is entirely explained in the light Of
the innocence of Mr.. Marble.
AT the time of the discharge of the
defendant his mother was with him
in court and great tears coursed
down her cheeks. | knew it would
come out all right George was her
only comment.
District Attorney Baker declined
to make any further statement in re-
gard to the case more than TO insist
that he hoped hat his statement had
shown just how he felt toward Mar
BILE and his arrest. He declined to
discuss the probability of any pros
e%cution of any of the other men
whose names have been brought in
to the case. The hearing of John
Nimitz the Indiana man alleged to
have been connected with the ease is
set for Wednesday in Chicago and
the hearing of William Evester is set
to come up in the local courts on The
same day 1t is probable that no
further hearings will be held in the
Kenosha courts until some final dis
position is made of the Nimitz case.
