HELD ON
TRUMPEOUP
CHARGE
Police Finally Found That
Men Were Not Escaped
Convicts.

After spending IL days in the city
Jail on a charge of grand larceny,
trumped up by the police in order
to hold them while they ascertained
whether they were not escaped con-
victs from Saltwater, Mimi, two
young men, residents of Spokane,
w. E. Henneman, 2024La Gardiner
avenue, and William Prang, have
been released, emerging from their
farce trial in the police court with
flying coIors. The police investi-
gated their record, found that Hen
neman had never been in trouble
before, either in Spokane or in his
home town Of Chippewa Fills, Wis.,,
and escertained that the only time
Prang had come in contact prev
iousIy with the police was a couple
Of years ago, when he had spent
night in jail on drunk charge.
Only July % Henneman was
nabbed and slammed into the
cooler" without a chance to COM
municate with his friends-which
condition. by the way, is becoming
very frequent one in the city
prison under Sullivans administra-
tion-charged with stealing some
automobile tires from the Columbia
garage. A detective went out to his
house and ''frisked" it, but found
nothing discriminating. Not know
ing where her husband was until
then, Mrs. Henneman was almost
crazy with fright, but Gained her
self down enough to go to the sta
ton to lok him up. There she was
told by one of the officers behind
the desk that her husband was "out
on the chain gang" and she
couldn't see him. But another Of
ficer, whom she knew slightly, in
terceded for her later, and she was
admitted to the Jail.
FRANCS CASE.
William Prang a boyhOod friend
of Henneman's, was captured a
couple of days later by Detective
Cox and Patrolman Mcdonnell, the
police as usual endangering the
lives of spectators by firing few
shots into the air to effect thei1
capture. He was kept in Jail unit
last Wednesday, when both trials
took place. Henneman's friends
had secured lawyer. and as there
was no evidence to offer he wa!
given his freedom at once. Prani
also was acquitted in quick order
but as soon as he got outside thu
courtroom was re-arrested on ;
charge of vagrancy. He was triet
the following day, represented by ;
lawyer, and acquitted.
Prang and Henneman are indig
nant at their treatment and sa!
that they were asked time and tim'
again if they hadn't served time IL
a Minnesota penitentiary.

WAY OF EvAO|NG
SCREEN LAW

A clever way Of evading the
screen law has been devised in the
bar in the new PlastinO buHdin9,
southwest corner of Washington
and Front avenue. ,,Chs
A show window is built in the
front window of the bar, with the
partition between the window and
the interior of the bar, formed by
Stats running up to within three
feet of the ceiling. Through these
Stats a man on the inside can look
out, but it is not so easy for a man
on the outside to look in.
AS no protest has been entered
by the city police, it is presumed
that the new device meets with ap-
proval.

are behind the move.
A committee has been named to
see the Traction Co. heads and as

committee has receivd some sub
stantial encouragement. Since the
Inland Empire system and its city
car lines, operated under the name
of the Spokane Traction Co., has
passed into the hands of J. J. Hill,
there has been a renewal OF the de-
mand that Hillyard be connected
with the city of Spokane by a Hill
carline.
If the line is built it will pass
through Lidgerwood and thence
east to Hillyard. 1t will give that
end of the city competing car ser
vice and afford people chance to
