the president compel the senate to pass

IS GIVEN FREEDOM
At ELEVENTH HOUR
Negro Charged with Burg
lary Dismissed in a Very
Dramatic Manner.

Because of misunderstanding the
against William Knox. a Cambridge
City negro. at the eleventh hour be-
fore the trial, Friday morning, in the
Wayne circuit court. Just four little
words-"I didn't say that"-were re-
sponsible for the action of the state
and they were hailed with JOY by
Knox and his aged mother, who it is
said mortgaged her property in order
that her son might have good legal
counsel
About half an hour prior to the time
for the court to call the case to trial,
states attorney, c. L. Ladd, and r. X.
Shiveley conferred with Charles Mer-
rick. the prosecuting witness, who has
operated soft drink dispensery. since
his saloon was driven out of business
by the blanket remonstrance in Jack
son township. The attorneys were dis
cussing the case against Knox with
Merrick when they asked where ii
was the latter saw Knox on June 16
Merrick replied that it was in the al
ley in the rear of his place. Il didn t
say that Knox was in the yard back
'of my store.
Then the states case crumbled
The prosecutor had relied on Mar
shoi nriSchn11'c cfa
rick had seen the negro in the yard
in the rear of Merrick's place of busi-
ness.
Merrick was the prosecuting witness
The other important witnesses for the
state were Marshal Drischell and Viii.
liam Kaiser. However unsupported
by Merrick the evidence of these two
witnesses would not have been OF
much value. Consequently the state
moved to dismiss the affidavit, ex
planning that some one had misinform
ed them, and that it would be doing
Knox an injustice to press the charge
with no more evidence than they had
Knox was arrested on June 16, charg
ed with stealing $3S from Merrick s
place of business. He was first ar
ranged in the Justice of the Peace
court at Cambridge City and bound
over to the circuit court. He had
been in Jail until Friday morning. Knox
has been in the penitentiary before
Henry L. Johnson had been retained
as his counsel. Following the dismis
sal of the case Knox walked to where
his mother and another relative were
sitting in the circuit court and the
meeting between mother and son was
very touching.

B. F, Wehrly's Affairs with
Richmond Candy Com
pany Being Investigated,
but No Report Made.
NO TRACE HAS BEEN
FOUND OF LOST MAN
Marcus Hasty States Wehrly
Was Discharged from the
Hasty Candy Co. Because
of a Shortage.

That Benjamin F. Wehrly. the miss
ing travelling salesman for the Rich
mond Candy company is neither a sui-
eide nor the victim of some mental
depression. explanations offered fer
his absence. but that he was short in
his accounts was the report current
today Wehrly disappeared from
Muncie week ago last Tuesday.
Wehrly was discharged from the
employment of the Hasty Bros, Candy
company in the latter part of Septem-
ber 1907. because he was short sever
al hundred dollars. c. c. Cain, sacra-
tary and treasurer of the Richmond
Candy company, was questioned in re-
gard to Wehrly's financial relations
with that company. To all questions
he replied he had nothing to say. He
nit himself. as he might later have
to make retraction. After he has as
certained the entire truth, following a
complete and searching investigation
of Wehrly's business relatins with
the company's patrons, he said then
only would he be in position to talk.
Was He in City?
A close friend of the missing man,
says he is certain he saw Wehrly
riding east on Main street in : closed
cab, late one evening this week. The
family say they have heard nothing
from him since his disappearance and
are still at complete loss to explain
the mystery. They have been inclin-
ed to adhere to the suicide theory.
In September, 1907, Wehrly was
discharged from the employ of the
Hasty Bros Candy Company because
he was short in his collections accord
ing to the statement made by Marcus
Hasty of that company today. Mr.. Has
ty says he believes Wehrly was short
about 5000, but that the greater amo-
unit was made good by his brother-in-
law. DIR. Hawley, he believes, it was,
of New Paris, Ohio He said that spea-
king without referring to his books he
believes that all but approximately a
hundred dollars was made good. The
company did not prosecute, Mr.. Hasty
said. because of sympathy for Wehr-
ly's family.
Because of the reticerce of Secy.
Cain of the Richmond Candy COM
pany, who would neither affirm or de-
ny the authenticity of questions asked,
there is no positive information that
Wehrley was short to any great ex-
tent while employed with the Rich
mond Candy company. Travelling men
for other wholesale concerns who
make the same territory as Wehrley
did have been given to understand he
was short
Raymond Wehrley, the son, stated
at noon that he had never heard of
these allegations. He said he had not
heard from his father since the day
he disappeared.
The authorities claim that no infor-
nation has been placed in their hands
concerning any alleged financial trou-
BILE on Wehiley's part. They have
made no great effort to assist in 10
eating the missing man. In fact those
conducting the search withheld ask
ing the police to assist as they thought
il might cause alarm to Wehrley If he
learned the police were looking for
him.
