BLAMES TROUBLES TO LIQUOR
Refuses to Disclose ANY Facts in Re
gard to His Former Life OF His Rela
tives but Insists He is Ready to Taks
His Medicine and Go to Prison.

Malcolm Mack, the young wizard
of finance who managed to set $i40
in coin Of the realm out OF a 1alf
dozen kenosha business men by is
suing checks ON bank which MS
never in existence appeared before
Judge Randall in the municipal court
ON Tuesday afternoon and admitted
all of the soft impeachments against
him. He declared as we'll that he
was ready to take his medicine and
that he wanted to get the thing over
with just as soon as possible. "I
suppose l will get ten years for this >
said Mack as he reflected over his
actions following the confession but
it was some two days of real sport
that had. Continuing he said:
" It's funny thing how man Will
make fool of himself but with me
it was all due to booze. = Mack adj
mitted that he had spent every cent
he got from the worthless checks in
riotous living and the fact that he
had dehauched himself to the limit
was shown by his condition when ar
raigned in court. His hands tremb-
led and he shook like leaf as he
stood up to tell his story to the Judge.
He had just ten cents left out of the
$l40 and he was ready to give that
to any one who would slip him Gig
arctic. There was nothing unusual
Z shout the story told .bE Mack lie
admitted that he had never been in
Battle Creek, Mich, but that his home
was in small town near Rome, New
York. He just happened to drift into
Kenosha and found an easy way to
get money and liquor.
Mack had no financial gaip from
the passing of the worthless CHECKS
as oil of the money he secured had
been spent in lavish entertainment Of
his friends. Much of the money went
over the bar in a restaurant in Ra-
cine and the remainder was spent in
saloons and disorderly houses in Ke-
nosha and Racine. The man refused
to give the address of his mother or
any of his relatives and when it was
suggested that some friends might
furnish money to pay up his pecula-
tions he declared that there was no
one in the world he would ask to put
up money and that he was ready to
take his medicine. Mack more than
once asked the police officers to shoot
him declaring that he was all shot to
pieces anyway. He objected very
strenuously to being manacled when
the police took him back to the lock-
up after he had told his story to the
court and he insisted that he had
no desire to get away. ~ just want
to take my medicine and get it over
with" was the way Mack put it.
When he was arraigned in court all
of the men who had cashed his checks
were on hand to hear his story and
some of them had a hslf hope that
they might find some way of getting
their money back.
Judge Randall withheld sentence on
Mack in order to allow the police
to make a further investigation The
police think it possible that Mack is
wanted in Elgin, ILL.,, on a similar
charge and the matter was held open
pending the coming of the Police
Chief of EIgin. The limit sentence
under the 81 irge is year in the state
prison.

 He said that he had always been of the opinion that majority were, against the Free Bridge, but that he was willing to be convinced and would aim in bringing about suc- cessful and peaceful continuation of the project if it was to be built; that he believed continual wrangling on the part of the two factions was de- trimental 10 the best interests of Jefferscn county.

KILLER
 GETS A $200 FINE,
Henry lOden, Negro, Goes Cunning, Gives Another Negro Awful
 Fright But Gets His'nj

Henry Oden, a white headed negro, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Patrolman Mize after the negro had made repeated threats to kill another negro named Henry Epps, who is employed at the Hicks ice fac tory. Oden went to the factory ear ly in the afternoon and pulled re- volver on negro whom he thought was Epps. The black was frighten- ed out of his wits and but for the in- terference of several others, who told Oden that the man was not Epps, he would probably have been killed.
 The officers were informed of Od- ems threats and some time after the incident Patrolman Mize placed him under arrest.
 When arraigned before Judge J. R. Stewart at an afternoon session of police court Oden admitted that he had made the threats and would have killed Epps had he found him. He stated that Epps hit him on the head with an ice pick some time ago.
 Judge Stewart fined him $200

CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
mCkcrLnrk HnLa,ec,,


Commencing Monday, January 20, the
Orpheum Players at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Phila., will present William
Gillette's famous success, Sherlock
Holiness" a play of absorbing interest
which thrillingly narrates the experiences
of the famous detective and reveals some
remarkable adventures and romances of
the under world. A"
The story of Sherlock Holmes" as
played with unprecedented triumph by
Mr.. Gillette at the Broad Street Theatre,
Philadelphia, deals with thrilling, actual
situations from out the pages of Sir Ar
thur Conan Doyle's romances of the
'crime-world, sherlock Holmes" the
calculating, imperturbable detective, who
is pitted in a battle of wits against the
crafty king of crime, Moriarity, Napol-
con of evil, who sits motionless like an
ugly venomous spider in the centre of
his web, but that web having a thousand
radiations and the spider knowing every
culver of every one of them Sherlock
Holmes" becomes easily the most inter
esting and lovable character in all the
famous crime" plays, and above all in
the Gillette version, which the Orpheum
Players use; becomes curiously a real
person, with his hyperdermics, his cigar
cues MS moving dressing rope, MS
curved-stem pipe, and, of course, his
lnimitable Doctor Watson frequently by
his side.
AS said before, Sherlock Holmes" was
adapted from the clever pages of Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle's writings In the
original production given only last season
by Mr.. Gillette, he scored sensational
success and, in fact, has enjoyed great
popularity the country over in this ster-
ling detective play. The peculiar con-
struction of the drama, its unique story
and strange hero attracted widespread at
tention and won for Mr.. Gilmore a
decided and lasting triumph. There is
another important male role in the play
which also stands out conspicuously-tha
of Professor Moriarity. 1t is he in par
ticular with whom the noted Sherlock is
pleased to cross words in battle of wits
and who is finally ANONYMOUSLY defeated
and imprisoned.
In the Orpheum presentation of t'Sher-
lock Holiness William Ingersol1 will
play the role originally handled by Mr..
Gillette, that of the famous sleuth, and
a part that literally fits him to the ground.
