NOT GUILTY OF
OFF{NSE CHARGED
Robert Smiths Looks Led to His
Arrest in Neenah

Robert Smith, painter by trade,
and son of MIR. and Mrs. A. C.Smith,
residents of this city, was arrested
in Neenah Monday of this week, ,sus-
picioned of being the murder of the
500 Line baggage man in Oshkosh on
last Monday.
A local daily newspaper made a
great fuss about it in column head
ed article, leaving the impression
that he was guilty of the crime.
This was all sensational and the
facts published were all wrong. From
Robert Smith, who is now at home
in this city with his parents, we
quote him as follows:
4 had been working at my
trade in Neenah for the past seven
weeks At the time l was arrest
ed was fishing with two friends
outside of Neenah. (Not tramps as
published) I went with the Sher-
iff to Oshkosh, where l was Civ
en- a thorough examination and had
no trouble in convincing the Off
GERS that l was not the man they
wanted; yet, my dress, size and de-
scription We're similar to the man
they were looking for. was re
leased and Immediately came home
to my parents.
1t was simply mistaken identity,
which is likely to happen to anyone.
Some people like TO make a great
deal of nothing upon the slightest
pretext This is what they call up
to-the-minute journalism. It's always
better to be accurate and safe, than
to besmirch others upon the slight
est preteXt.
