INNOCENCE COSTS
MAN NEARLY $4,000
SAILOR FORCED TO SPEND saw
lNGS TO CLEAR HIS
NAME IN COURT.
ALSO SUBJECT OF DISGRACE
John Anderson Now Wondering If
Republics Are Not, After All,
Very UngratefuI of Those
Who Serve Country.

Taylors Falls.-As blameless of
wrong doing as a star Sunday school
scholar, it cost John c. Anderson near
ly $4,000 in cash to prove his inno-
cence OF the charge of burglary. Be-
sides, he was subjected to the dis
grace of arrest and thrown into Jail.
Citizens of Taylors Falls who have
known Anderson for years and can
vouch for his good character feel that
the state owes him much more than
a verdict of vindication; that it
should indemnify him for the money
which he paid out and the anxious
moments which he spent while trying
to keep his good name clear. The
victim of circumstances, he appears
to have no recourse, however.
In Navy 18 Years.
For eighteen years Anderson has
been in the United States navy-the
last four years on the battleship Della
ware, which is regarded by many ex-
perts as the governments most eff
cient man of war. He was born in
Sweden and served in the navy of that
country before coming to the United
States. 1t speaks we'll for his intelli-
gence and seamanship that some time
before the term of his last enlist
ment expired he had been appointed
chief boatswain mate of the Della
ware.
For several years Anderson has
l,s. e,,,,
along the St. Croix river in this vi
cinity. Late last May he came here
again and remained until June 9,
when he left for his station at Nor
folk, Va. On June and two houses,
one at Norfolk and the other across
the river at Portsmouth, Va, were
broken into at night. From one house
gold watch and So were taken;
from the other 81 in money. A Nor
folk pawnbroker told the grand jury
that Anderson had pawned the watch
at his place and the two household
ers swore that Anderson was the
burglar, asserting they had seen his
features by the fiashlight which he
carried.
Arrested at Norfolk.
OF course the jury indicted, al
though Anderson left Taylors Falls for
the south on the very day that one
of the burglaries was committed. On
his arrival at Norfolk he was arrested.
The case came to trial only recently
and three witnesses from Taylors
Falls-Frank knight, assistant post
master; V. d. Caneday, farmer and
poultry fancier, and Mrs. NJ. R.
Heeth-wert to the Virginia city to
establish an alibi for the sailor. Other
witnesses for him were F. J. Jones
of Omaha, who rode with him from
Chicago to Norfolk, and Morris
Stromberg of St. Paul.
The states case fell like lead when
the northern witnesses had testified.
The presiding judge said the alibi was
fiawless and the prosecuting attorney
moved that the court instruct the
jury to return a verdict of not guilty.
This was done instanter and the pris-
oner was discharged, but his savings
of years as a good seaman and faith
full officer of his adopted land were
wiped out in paying for the services
of a lawyer and the expenses of his
witnesses. 1t was a costly experience
and the sailor is wondering if after
all republics are not ungrateful.

The United States is playing a

William Rockefelle,. The rules

that the one sought must be tagged
by someone CARRYING the legal

he has so far been skillful enough
to evade them.
There is no doubt hut that Rookie
feler knows that he is wanted to
appear before the money trust in

that as long as he can keep out of
the way of a subpoena he is immune.
1t would be right if he should be
caught and thrown in Jail for a
few days for evading the law; he
could not make prctext that he did
not know he was wanted, because
the elaborate means taken to con-
ceal his whereabouts show painly
that he is trying to thwart the
congressional committee: he is
avoiding the committee because he
does not want to talk because he
fears that he will be compelled to
tell things that he does not want
