HIDE CASE
TIRES COURT
Judge Cochran Orders Sklut
Charge Continued for An
other Day
DEFENDANTS DENY
CHARGE AGAINST THEM

After hearing much evidence in the case
o. Louis sklut, Sr.. and Louis Skut, Jr.,
on the charge of buying stolen hides, City
Court Judge Cochran this morning wearily
informed the Skluts attorneys that he had
.heard enough of hides for one morning
and continued tie hearing until Wednes-
day. Joseph Cohen, who was arraigned
with the Skluts on the same charge, was
dismissed upon recommendation of Assist
ant city Solicitor Chaytor, who said there
was no evidence against him.
The evidence against the Skluts was
given by Harry n. Moore, a young man,
who has been held for the upper court
on the charge Of larceny. Moore declared
that during several months he had stol~-
hides from the c. and j. Pyle Company,
and sold them to the Skluts. He had, he
said. informed them that the hides were
crooked" and that they had told him to
be careful"
The Skluts and their attorneys, J. Frank
Ball and Robert II. Richards. sought to
show that the SiSluts had purchased hides
from Moore in the belief that he was a
dealer and that such belief was based on
statements made by Moore himself and
other persons. Some OF the hides tnat
Moore said he stole from the Pyle Com
pany were. the Skluts said, sold back
by them to that company. Emphatic denial
was made that Moore had ever admitted
the hides We're crooked" or had been told
to be careful"
There was a great deal of technical ex-
planation about "salted" and 'unsalted,"
."green" and foreign hides" and the con-
tinuance was evidently a relief TO those
of the court audience who fancied some
thing more sensational.
