MUS is CLEARED
Justice G.. P. Nissen Dismissed
Warrant Charging Him
With Larceny.
EVIDENCE is LACKING
Young Man Appears Victim of I'm
fortunate Circumstances on
Eve of Leaving.

J. H. Mus was cleared of the charge
of larceny at his hearing in the court
of Justice George p. Nissen last even
ing The court ruled that there was no
evidence 10 support the charge entered
in the warrant on which Mus was ar
rested.
Mus, judging by the facts as rela-
ted at the hearing, appears to have
been the victim of an unfortunate cir
cumstance. For the past year he had
been employed as window decorator at
the Young & McCombs depa rtment
store, having come here from Mime
apolis, where he was connected with
one of the large stores. Previously he
followed the same line of work in Mil
waukee and Des Moines.

claims to have obtained a position
with Harmed & Won Maur. Davenport.
Mus was suspected of having appro-
priated cigars belonging to Young &
McCombs. When he was accused, he
grew so excited that his actions gave
strength to the firms suspicious
When he attempted to escape from the
city, which he succeeded in doing be-
fore there was thorough investiga-
ton of the affair, the firm was con-
WINGED of his guilt.
Mus escaped to Davenport, and
from there went to Peoria. At Peoria
he wired his wife to meet him in Free
port, the home of her parents. where
they made arrangements to dispose of
their household furniture here, which
they did at a great sacrifice.
Decides to Face Music.
After thinking the matter over sew
eral days, Mus decided the better
course would be to come to Rock Island
and face the music. He came on and
to the police. He told
story in court last ev-
ening, claiming that the cigars found
in his possession had been bought for
him by a travelling man who had call
ed at the store.
Mus excitable actions probably
more than anything else determined
his old employers in following out to
a fnality the suspicion that had been
directed towards him on the eve of his
