These articles weer also identified

Kessler values at $25 Every article
of the clothing, and every inch of
the cells were searched for the miss
ing pin, but it was not found. All
claimed not to have seen the pin at
all. The story told by Lovejoy and
King is that they were not with the
man who took the suit case. They
claim that they saw two men walking
on the depot platform and that one
of them picked up the suit case
and went down the embankment to-
ward the river. They followed, and
found the suit case opened and sew
eral things taken out. They helped
themselves to what remained and left
the travelling bag where it was. The
bag was found there by Leslie Matt

collars mad razor strop are also
missing.

The defendants were arraigned be-
fore Judge Comstock this afternoon on
the charge of grand larceny in the

tered, because in an offense of this
kind it is necessary to plead to the
district court. They were given per-

nation, however, and Leslie Mattson,

suit case, Officers Mic Thilgen and

them. Their testimony brought out
the story as has been told. Connolly,
when asked to testify in his own be-
half, said that he did not know any
thing about the suitcase and that he
had not seen it before He said that
he had met Lovejoy and King only
last evening. King and Lovejoy tes-
tilted that they had seen a man
wearing glasses take the suit case,
as has been described. They say
that the man wore gray suit, cap,
black tie, and was about twenty-five
years old.

man who makes this territory for a
mill supply firm. Mr.. Kessler had
his suit case sent to the union depot
to meet the 1920 Omaha train, and
was unable to get there himself, so
the suit case was left on the depot
platform. About noon, Baggageman
Rudolph Robson saw three men 60

case, and when Mr.. Kessler reported
his loss, naturally Mr.. Robson told
him what he had seen. He gave a

FTOUH Idliys
G. M. Henderson was arrested by
Officer Nierdahl yesterday afternoon
on the charge of breaking his peace
bond during the pending of the case
brought against him by Mrs. Eliza
beth Manske. Mr.. Henderson was
arrested a few days ago on a charge
preferred by Mrs. Manske charging
him with using insulting language.
The case was continued until Au-.
gust / on condition that he keep the
peace, especially with Mrs. Manske.
He is neighbor of the plaintiff
who is widow lady, and she claims
that Henderson has threatened her
and her children, and that she is
afraid of him. 1t appears that Mrs.
Manske has been tormented a great
deal by the defendant, and has al
most decided to move away to get
away from him
What Lady Claims.
She claims that he persists in
hanging round her place and says
that he scares her children, and that
she is afraid that he will do them
or her some harm. She asked that
he be arrested simply to keep him
from bothering her. After the con-
tinuance of the case, Mrs. Manske
complained that Henderson persisted
in annoying her, and asked that he
be taken into custody again.
Asked For Another Judge.
He was arrested, and C. o. Daley
appeared as his attorney. Mr. Daley
first asked that another Judge be-
sides w. l.. Comstock try the case,
on the grounds that Judge Com
stock was prejudiced, but this re-
quest was refused The case was
delayed to call other witnesses for
the defense, and Mayor Meyer was
summoned because Henderson said
that the mayor was interested in
him and was his friend.
Further Delay Caused.
This morning further delay was
caused to summon witness named
Oscar Larson, who is supposed to
know something about the dispute
between Henderson and Mrs. Man
ske. The case was continued until
1870 this afternoon
Henderson denies all the charges
against him AID holds that the
judge is prejudiced. When it was
asked if suspended sentence could
be passed if Henderson would leave
; town, this was also denied
Given Ninety Days.
Henderson was found guilty of
the offense charged in the original
complaint, that of using insulting
language He was also found guilty
of contempt of the process of the
law for breaking the peace with Mrs.
Manske after his case had been con-
tinued. He was sentenced to spend
ninety days in the county Jail. Os-
car Larson was called as witness,
but his testimony had no bearing on
the case. 1t seems that he had put
in garden for the defendant adj
joining Mrs. Manske's lot.
