ROBBERY MADE
William Hunsaker, of Woodbinc, Ar
rested Saturday for Robbery. Mre.
Myrtle haIboth Complainant.
TRIAL BEFORE JUSTICE ROLLINS
Defendant Secures r. Shaw Van to
Defend Him, and After Many Wit
nesses Examined, Is Released

William Hunsaker, OF Woodbine,
was arrested in Denison Saturday eve
ming upon charge of robbery on in
formation filed by Mrs. Myrtle Hol-
both, resident of .Odebolt, who is Wis
ting at the John Lingle home in this
city. After a numbcr of hearings be-
fore Justice H. T.. Bliesman he was
discharged late yesterday afternoon
as the evidence did not warrant his
being held over to the grand jury.
From the evidence brought ont in
the hearing it seems that William
Hunsakcr, together with Dellas Kem-
pie, of WOOdbine, came to Denison
Saturday and in the evening met Mrs.
Holboth, and Miss Lena Lingle near
the First National bank. The quartet
walked west to the court house and
started south toward the station, as
the two men from Woodbine were go
ing to take the late, train for their
home. Mrs. EIolbotll claimed that
Hunsaker grabbed her pocketbook
away from her and after she request
ed that 1T be returned, upon looking
in the bag discovered that $500 in sill
vcr was missing. The men, after re-
turning the purse, started for the de-
pot and the women went back up p'town
to locate an officer. Arthur Green was
found and together. with the women
went to the Northwestern station,
where Hunsaker was found III the high
grass just south OF the platform and
placed under arrest. His companion
was allowed to take the train for
Woodbipe, but. Hunsaker was brought
up town and placed in Jail. The first
hearing was held before Justice Rol-
Inns, but r. ShawVan,. counsel for the
defendant secured a change of venue
to Bliesman's court. Witnesses were
secured from Wooilbfne and at the
hearing on Monday afternoon testified
that the accused man. was law abid-
ing citizen and had never before
caused any trouble. 1t was a bad mess
from start to finish and after hearing
all of the evidence in, the case Justice
Bliesman took it under advisement and
rendered his decision last night at 6
o'clock and the young man was al
lowed to return to his home.
1t was brought out during the trial
that the two Woodbine men had visit
ed Arion Saturday afternoon and while
there Hunsaker was arrested and fined
$500 and costs for disnrderly conduct.
Upon being released he took the |. c.
train for Denison in company with
