Two Suspects Held.-On suspicion
of being the two men who held up
and robbed Miss Alice Herpeche at
Eighth and Main streets Wednesday
evening, Harry Easton and ]. B. Davl-
son. both hailing from Milwaukee,
were placed under arrest Thursday
evening by the police. During the
night a statement was secured from
the two suspects, but they refused to
admit that they had done the work.
The evidence, however, seems to be
strong against them, and In the mean
time further steps will be taken to Sc
cure convincing evidence against
them. Circumstances are that the
young men were in the vicinity OF
the holdup at the time, and It is the
belief of the police that they can be
connected with the theft of a purse
from a room in the Whitaker building
at Third and Brady streets. Both
men have been given ten days in jail
on q charge of vagrancy.
