CLAIMED BOND WAS FORFEIT
Former Kenosha Man Had Come Here
Seeking Witnesses For Trial When
Partner Asked Sheriff to Secure His
Detention in Jail-Trial on Thursday.

Henry Williams, former we'll known
Kenosha man but now at Libertyville,
ILL.,, was taken into custody on Market
street late Tuesday afternoon by Sher-
lift Elmer Green of Lake county, Illi-
nois, and taken to Waukegan, where
he was placed in the county jail to
await trial on charges of criminal as
sault preferred against him by Miss
Florence Scheller, an Is year old Lib
ertyville girl.
Williams had been arrested on the
charges last May but he had been adj
mitted to bonds of $500, the bond be-
ing signed by Walter Quentin of Lib
ertyyille, who had been interested with
the former Kenosha man In the man
agement of a garage. Sheriff Green had
come to Kenosha early on Tuesday seek
ing Williams and he had searched the
city for him without success. He was
starting for the Northwestern depot
late in the afternoon when be met Will
liams in front of the court hoprse.
After a conference with his attorney,
A. L. Drury, Williams consented to re-
turn to Waukegan without a demand
for requisition papers.
The trial of Williams is scheduled to
come up in the circuit court of Lake
county on Thursday morning and on
last Monday Williams took an automo-
bile and started out to look up some
II 4esses 484s EsF v8ss as4t9 ke-
nosha late Monday afternoon. He had
not informed his partner Of his plan
aid on Monslay afternoon Quentin went
to Waukegan and demanded that the
sheriff make an effort to secure Will
liams and that he be released from the
bond Williams declared that he hid
no intention of making getaway and
that he had planned to return to Lib.
ertyville on Tuesday evening.
Little had been heard of the charge
against Williams in Kenosha At E.fb4
ertyville he is known as Dusty Will
liams, and the young woman who has
made the charges against him is said
to be well known to the people of that
city
The charges made by the young wo-
man are of most sensational nature
and Williams declares that there is abb
solutely no foundation TO them. The
assault is alleged to have been com
mitted in an automobile at point
along the Milwaukee road year ago
last October, but nothing was done to
make the matter public until last May
when the young woman went before
the grand jury at Waukegan and pre-
scented evidence on which an indict-
ment was voted against Williams
charging him with criminal assault. He
was then released on bonds of $500.
John D. Pope of Waukegan is to de-
fend Williams and he declares that the
story told by the girl is an impossible
one and that the case is clearly frame
up. Williams is married and has a
wife and two children at Libertyville.
He was born and raised in Kenosha and
during his residence in this city had an
excellent reputation.
District Attorney Alfred L. Drury
has been retained by the Williams fam
lily and he will probably go to Wau-
kegan to aid in the trial of the case.
The Scheller girl is a daughter of
Chicagoan, but she has made her nome
at Libertyville for some time, In her
complaint she alleges that Williams was
teaching her how to run an automobile
when the alleged assault was commit
ted.
