Breaks Down Whom Faced with
charse.-The facing of his first crimi-
nal charge in police court yesterday
morning proved too much for Louis
A Fink. the young man who was ar
rested in Ottumwa by Detective John
Kinney and brought here for trial, and
he broke down before the judicial
bench and wept for several minutes be-
fore he could control himself and talk
nationally about the hearing. Fink did
not want to go to trial. but wanted to
take time in which to bring an attor-
ney from Des Motnes, his home town.
Accordingly his trial was set for Wed
nesday morning, Dec. FL at 8 o'clock.
Fink will probably secure a local at
torney owing to the fact that it will
require some time to send word to Des
Moines to an attorney and as he seem
ed willing to secure a local representa-
tive, this will probably be taken I'D by
his brother, who came from Des
Moines to aid him in the trial Fink's
bonds have been placed at $500, the
charge against him being only petit
larceny, the total amount of property
alleged to have been stolen, being but
SIS.
