WHO OWNS WHEEL2
IT'S BIG QUESTION
Judge and Prosecutor Unable
to Determine Ownership
of Bicycle.

Even with the services of an inter-
prefer, Mayor Robbins and Prosecutor
Keller found 1t difficult to take evi-
dence in the case of Frank Dozza, a
Hungarian, charged with stealing a
bicycle from the Charles Johanning
Plumbing company.
Alex Vari, who now has possession
of the wheel, told the mayor that he
had bought a wheel from Dozza last
fall. The bicycle, which is now be-
ing held by the police, is Pope cycle
and was purchased, it is said, from
the Dunning bicycle shop by Charles
Johanning in 1910.
Dozza claims that he bought a bicy-
Gle from Polish second hand dealer
in Dayton, O., in June. He claims the
machine was a Smiths Special
Through an interpreter Vari, who
claims the bicycle at this time, says
, that he purchased wheel from Dozza
but that man named George Henry
broke the frame and in return got
him the wheel he now has.
The wheel was positively identified
even to the serial and license number
by James Dubus, an empioye of the
JOhanning company.
Dozza AYERS that a man whose
name is Louis Archie, no longer a
resident of Richmond, left the wheel
at the Dozza home many months ago.
When Henry broke the bicycle owned
by Vari then Henry got the second
wheel from Dozza to give Vari, to re-
place the broken bicycle.
In police court the case was par
TALLY heard but was set over until to-
morrow morning. when George Henry
and other mixed in the affair will be
subpeonaed tQ give testimony,
