Glib Williams Set Trap for His Own
Feet-Clew to Edmund Robbery.

Glib Williams failed to convince
Judge Robert Carver that a large
quantity of liquor belonged to him
which has been captured by the police
recently. The boose consisted of one
barrel and a case of bottled beer, two
gallons of gin, two gallons and a case
of whisky comprised the wet goods
The goods were captured by the police
at 1907 Kansas avenue and at a place
in the 300 block on Kansas avenue. The
police thought when they found it
that the booze belonged to Mary Tyre,
who runs the place at 1907 Kansa'
avenue, but Mr.. Williams claimed it,
The latter filed a suit of replevin but
Chief Jenkins filed. a redelivery bond
and decided to try the case on its
merits and won on decision by
Judge Carver this morning. None of
the booze was consigned to williams
but in various other nom de piumeS
and he thought he would be lucky in
slipping one over on the police but
met with disappointment. The police,
after finding the booze, arrested Mary
Tyre and expect to try her on the
charge of maintaining nuisance. Since
Williams claimed the booze, he has
been arrested on a similar charge and
the pair will be due to appear in
police court next Tuesday to answer
to the charge.

consider his wrong doing before being
restored to liberty. He was stuck
on the charge in police court and Judge

Judge George H. Whitcomb. of tho
second division of the district court
does not think the police should be
rewarded for the loss of time and SLEEP
when they appear as witnesses in
state cases but the police think diff
ferent. A suit to recover fees. by j.
w. Anderson, g policeman, was trie"
out, as a test case, in Judge Whit
combs court Thursday and the latter
decided against the officer. Arthur A.
Bol1inger represented the police de-
partment. Judge Whitcomb realized
that the case was due to go to the
supreme court, no matter what his
decision might be. and did not spend
as much time on it as he might under
other circumstances but handed down
a decision which would insure the case
a full trip to the court of the higher
tribunal.
The police are not asking for wit
ness ices in city cases but think they
are entitled to fees in state cases The
county auditor started the trouble
some time ago and they will try to
convince him that he is wrong and
tnat they are as right as a rabbit
The case will be prepared and filed in
time to appear on the October docket
of the supreme court.
