Blew Safe in Bluffs.

Marion H~edgepeth was arrested about
two years ago with w. p. jackson for
blowing the safe in the office of the Coun-
ell Bluffs Stove Storage and Transfer
company. They were tried and convicted
and sentenced to ten years in the peni-
Tertiary at Fort Madison. Hedgepth ap-
pealed and the supreme court set the
case for another trial. In view Of the
ruling of the supreme court, County At
torney Hess decided there was no use
trying him again. so the court dismissed
the indictment. H%edgepeth had served
nearly a year when the court reversed his
conviction. He was brought back to Coun-
eli Bluffs and was in the county Jail about
a month before the Indictment was finally
dismissed.
H~edgepeth at the time of his arrest was
a paroled prisoner from the. Missouri pen
Itentiary.
Jackson not having the funds did not APP
zeal and the governor granted him a par
Lon in view of the fact that the case
.sainst his partner had been dismissed
Jackson and Hedgepeth were arrested
IN the Douglas street bridge by detectives
Heitfeld and Deversee of Omaha and still

Car Barn Robber.
H%edgepeth had a long record of crime In
Omaha. According to the local police he
was implicated in a train robbery near
Council Bluffs, and one on the Missouri
Pacific road near Forty-eighth and
Leavenworth streets, in this city. But his
most daring feat in Omaha was the rob-
berry of the Ames avenue car barns when
in the early n~ineties, shortly after the
barn had been completed, he and his rang
held up the night men and blew the strong
box, securing a goodly sum OF money.
Shortly after some especially bold work
that resulted successfully in this territory,
Hedgepeth with Adelbert Slye, and Dick
and Charles Wilson, went to st. Louis
where for three months they lived in a
swell apartment house and then robbed the
Frisco train as told in the dispatch form
st. Louis. Dick Wilson was electrocuted
in Sing Sing, Charles Wilson is serving a
life term in Auburn and Slye, who was re-
Gently released from prison, is said to be
dying of consumption at his mothers home
near ST. Joseph, Mo.
Omaha officers believe Slye and Jackson
the same man, but the Council Bluffs
police believe them to be different and
have no record of Jackson under an alias,
and say he was not in a dying condition
when released.
