DEFRAUDED
Inn Keeper Charge Against
A Cleveland Man

A warrant was sworn out before the
mayor the latter part of last week by
Landlord Drake of the Curtis Hotel,
charging T. e. Goggen of Cleveland
with defrauding an inn-keeper. The al
legation was made that Goggen board
ed at the Curtis Hotel last winter and
that he left an unpaid bill amounting
to $40.
The warrant was sent to Cleveland
and Goggen was apprehended Satur-
day evening. The Cleveland police
department notified Sheriff Woolison
of tic arrest, but he was unable to get
train out of Mt. Vernon until early
Monday morning. 1t developed on
Monday morning that Goggen's attor-
ney in Cleveland secured writ of
habeas corpus and Goggen was re-
leased from custody, pending hear
ing. When Sheriff Woolison arrived
in Cleveland Monday he found the
above condition of affairs.
However, the officer visited Cog
gems home and Mrs. Goggen paid the
sheriff $25 and promised to send the
balance of the bill to Mt. Vernon some
time this week, if the case was
dropped.
If the remainder of the money is
sent here Landlord Drake will not
push the case, otherwise the man will
be taken into custody. Mrs. Goggen
boarded with her husband in the city
for sometime last winter. Goggen was
engaged in this city in selling stock
for fire insurance company.
