'MAHON
RELEASED
From The County Jail Thurs
day Morning
Waived Examination And Is
Bound Over
-
Furnished A Bond In The
Sum Of $500
Believed Grand Jury Won't
Return Indictment
More Information Gathered
By The Officials

There is a growing public senti-
ment in favor of Thomas Mcmahon,
who was arraigned before Mayor Per
rine Thursday morning on a charge
of shooting with intent to kill, and
the prospects are that Mcmahon will
escape entirely from any penalty. Nc
Mahon waived examination and was
bound over to the common pleas
court to await the action Of the grand
jury, giving bond in the sum of $500
for his appearance. Mcmahon re-
turned to Brink Haven.
Evidence pointing towards justifi-
able shooting on the part of McMa-
hon is pouring in from all sources.
The latest is word received from
Cleveland officials that the man Nc
Mahon shot has a criminal record
which they will furnish if needed.
They furthermore state that the man S
correct name is w. J. Walsh and not
Welsh, as was given out by his wife
after his death in the Lawrence hos
pital, Columbus.
The family with which Mr.. and
Mrs. Walsh and McClelland stopped
in Loudonville are recognized out
laws. One of the sons has served a
term in the penitentiary, another is
now serving time, while a brother
of their mother is none other than
Thomas oliver, whose barbarous
treatment of an old couple By burn
ing their feet in endeavoring to force
them to tell where their money was
hidden, is still vivid in the minds of
Ashland county residents. 1t is only
reasonable to infer, then that the
Walsh gang belonged to the same
class of outlaws since they naturally
sought such company.
Local police court officials are
strongly of the opinion that the Nc
Mahon case will never reach the
grand jury.

Murilla raised her head. "But Arthur-what did she

IFooT FROM cApETowN TO CAIRO

MOT long ago Emil Lund, Rhodesian settler,
aged thirty-six, completed walk from Capetown
to Cairo. The feat undertaken simply from love
of adventure and not in fuflment of any wager to
