Jesse Hill, on Eve Of Approaching
Marriage, Torn From Sweetheart
to Answer Robbery
Charge.
BACK TO BURLINGTON
crcom-to-be Hustled Back to Burllna-
ton Today to Answer Charge
Of Theft Of Coat and
Pearl.
BACK TO BURLINGTON

A probable unhappy ending to a riv-
er romance had it's contamination In
keokuk last evening and this morning
when the groom-to-be was unceremoni-
ously torn asunder from the bride-to-
be and hurried back to burlington in
charge OF two officers, where he will
have to answer to charge Of robbery.
Jesse Hill is the Intended grooms
name, and he has been employed on
the G. w. Hill In a clerical capacity.
The girl who had her little romance
blighted in Keokuk wept genuine tears
when she thought OF her name in the
papers, connected with the disgraceful
affair and the disgrace it would prob
ably bring to her parents, who are
said to be respectable people and un-
aware of the predicament In which
the girl found herself last evening.
The father Of the girl is professions
al man living a few miles below Keo-
kuk in a little town on the Missouri
side Of the river.
Burlington officials sent word that
Hill had stolen coat and valuable
pearl stud from Burlington man
and when the Keokuk police found
Hill on the Black Hawk bound for
Alexandria, he had the coat In his
possession, and the girl had the pearl
stud
Hill and the girl we're to be mar
ried September 10. miss Smith,
which name is known to be Fictitious,
told the local officers she had known
Hill, off and On, for about year, and
that she met him here to take him to
her home, where she was going to
stake him as he was financially en-
barrassed. From the turn or the girls
love affairs taken here and in Burling-
ton, the proposed wedding will very
likely be called off, or at least post
poned.

trict attorney, remembering the scene
at Grand Central station, when the
police tried to kidnap Schepps, re-
piled that If he wanted Big Jack he
would get him himself.
That the grand jury within a few
days would completely clear up the
Rosenthal murder and then be free to
probe to the bottom, or top, the whole
sale charges Of police graft, was the
opinion of whitman, who said that the
story related to him by Schepps cor
roborated in every detail that of Jack
Rose, dove-tailing as smoothly as
though the informers had compared
notes.

kind to Rainey.
He frankly admitted his interest in
the Knoxville Water Power deal, but
said his net profits were $4,000 fol
ten years service. He said he re
ceived $4,000 in all. but paid a de-
fanlted note for United States Treas

"There isn't man on this floor who
would impeach my integrity, or that
of other members who have offered
water power bills, except you," said
Austin shaking his fist at Rainey.
"Now put that in your pipe ana smoke

The Tennessee member declared
that Rainey himself had once voted
for water power bill after dinner at

Speaker Clark thrice admonished
Austin to refer to Rainey only in the
