Armenian Charged With Sc
curing Casket and Robe
Under False Pretenses.
ALICE FRAUD CONSPIRACY

Charged with obtaining a casket, a
burial robe and the services of an
undertaken at a funeral under false
pretenses, Marker Derderion, an Ar
menian, was arrested late Monday
night by Sheriff Achen and when he
was arraigned in the municipal court
this morning the hearing of the case
was adjourned for ten days and the
defendant held under bonds of ST. 900.
Being unable to furnish the bond de-
manded he returned to the county Jail.
The complaint is one of the most I'M
usual ever known in the courts of this
county and the district attorney has
declared that the investigation Of it
has revealed the fact that personal
property owned by certain Armenians
is being shifted from one to another
with view of getting away from
creditors. The complaint in the case
was made by Nicholas Mischief.
Several months ago q brother of the
defendant died and Mischler was call
ed to take charge of the funeral.
The cost of the burial services, in
Guiding the casket, amounted to $73
and when Mischief asked that some
security be given him that the bill
would be paid Derderion is alleged to
have told him that he owned board
ing house on Park street, Only
small amount of the bill was paid, but
the defendant is alleged to have agreed
to pay it at the rate of ten dollars
month. When the monthly payments
were not met the undertaken appealed
to an attorney to get out an attach
ment and when the sheriff went to
serve the attachment he found that
the property had changed hands and
Derderion declared that he had never
owned the property, Then the matter
was laid before the district attorney
and the arrest of Derderion followed.

DR.. Johnson in Jail at Wau-
kegan Makes Unusual De-
Tense to Bigamy Charge.
MARRIED FAMILY OF CHILDREN

DR.. John johnson, Kenosha chiropo-
dist, who is in jail at Waukegan
awaiting trial. on charges of bigamy,
told the story of his matrimonial tan
giles on Monday afternoon and he as.
serted that while the story told by
Mrs. Emma Emanuel, who alleged that
she was his lawfully welded wife and
the only claimant on him for support,
may be true, he declared that he had
good reason to take on other matri-
monial relations. johnson admitted
that his real name was "John Eman-
uel'' and that under this name he had
married the woman who now appears
as complaining witness against him.
He asserted that this marriage took
place some twenty years ago in the
east. He declared that at the time
he married the woman he believed her
to be single woman, but that after
ward he learned that she had several
children and that there was some
question as to whether she was fancy

mony was performed. He admitted
that he had left the woman in the
east and had come to Kenosha some
fifteen years ago and that shortly af-
ter he came to this city he received
information that the wife had died.
DR.. johnson never took any great
pains to Investigate the rumor of the
death of his wife, but after reason
able period of mourning for her he
married the second wife who was at
that time residing at Waukegan. 1t
is said that the first wife is now with
a brother of Doctor johnson in Chica-
go. The Kenosha chiropodist was un-
able to furnish the $1,000 bonds de-
manded by the justice at Waukegan
and he will probably remain in jail
until the hearing of the case comes
up on Thursday. It is said that the
wife has threatened to bring some
sensational charge against DR.. John
son in which his relations with step
daughter will be laid before the court.
DR.. johnson declared on Monday that
the suggestion of such charges was an
injustice to him and that there was
absolutely no foundation for them.
The present wife of DR.. johnson has
declared that she believed him guilt
less.

plans Of the company for extensions.
Just what is to be done can not be
given out at this time, = said Manager
"A. A. Dye this morning. sfThe com
pany has been liberal and far sighted
in providing for the future Of the bust
ness in Kenosha and the work is to be
done along permanent lines. There
will be lot of underground work, but
it is not possible to tell of all this work
until after the work is started and the
needs shown. The company is planning
to properly meet all the demands of
the growing service of the city of Ke-
nosha and it is expected that much
of this work will be completed this
fall.o
Other COMPARES maintaining wires
in Kenoshs are also being urged to
meet the provisions of the underground
ordinance and it is not expected that
there will be any trouble in securing
compliance with the provisions Of the
ordinance so far as the down town sec
tion of the city is concerned. The tele-
phone company has raised an objection
to the taking down of the wires on
Ashland avenue, but it is expected that
some plan will be reached by which
the city and the company can agree as
to the handling of these wires. These
wires carry through service and the
company managers have declared that
they could not be taken down without
seriously interfering with long distance
service in and out Of Kenosha.

Dist. Atty. A. L. Drury An.
n0unces He Will Be a Can
didate at Next Primaries
SLATE MAKERS GETTING BUSY

Alfred L. Drury, the Cleanup dis
trict attorney of Kenosha county, today
announced his candidacy for reelection
and petitions for his nomination will be
in circulation before the end of the
present week. Mr.. Drury has made an
enviable record in the Office. He has
had charge of lot of important cases
in the circuit court and he secured con-
victions in all save one of the impor
tant cases which came under his direc
tion. He won his real spurs in the long
trial Of George 'Koszak, charged with
bringing dynamite into the city. In
this case the district attorney fought
the case for the state without any as
sistance and his method of conducting
the case attracted wide attention.
Since he came into Office, District At
torney Drury has taken off the calendar
of the courts many cases which had
been laid over from term to term and
at the present time every criminal case
is disposed of.
1t is not known whether or not Mr..
Drury will be opposed for the nomina-
ton. Peter Fisher, Jr., has been men
toned in connection with the Office but
when the matter was suggested this
morning he declined to make any state
ment, declaring that he had not as yet
made up his mind as to the possibility
of his seeking the republican nominal
tion for the Office. James E. Tully,
clerk of the municipal court and recent
ly admitted to practice in the courts
of the state has been suggested as pos
sible candidate for the Office, but as yet
he has made no formal announcement of
his candidacy.
Petitions are moving briskly in the
Office of the county clerk. Benjamin M.
DeDeimar has taken out petitions as q
candidate for reelection to the Office
of the clerk Of the circuit court. Philip
Hartman, Jr., has taken out his papers
for county treasurer, and P. G. Torrey,
the present register of deeds, and Her
bert Millager, the coroner, will be in
the field within the next few days
Dr. David Munro has taken out pc
titions for the republican nomination
for sheriff. He secured the papers on
Wednesday afternoon and announced
that they would be circulated in the
towns of the county as well as in the
wards of the city.
The democracy of the county is get
ting busy. 1t is said that there is a
strong probability that there will be
four candidates for the nomination for
sheriff, including Edward Murphy,
Ward Silvernail, Henry B. Kotz and
Andrew F. Stahl 1t is said that John
Langan, who will retire from the New
Park Hotel within the next few days,
is being groomed as the candidate of
the democracy for county clerk, and
that Theodore Fonk, well known EN-
ployee of the American Brass company,
will seek the nomination for the office
of register of deeds. John @. Slater is
said to be pretty certain of the nomina-
ton, for member of the assembly, if he
will make the run. Slate makers are
busy among the democrats and it is de-
clared that the ticket will be pretty
well lined up by the Fourth of July.
