Dope flEND CAUGHT HERE
PLEADS. GUILTY OF. THEFT. AND
Is SENTENCED TO THE
PENUTENTIARY

Clayton Bennett Of Brainerd plead
ed guilty before Judge Roeser at St
Cloud Wednesday to robbery and wa:
sentenced to the Saltwater peniten
tiary for an indeterminate term. Dep
uty Sheriff Fueger, County Attorne!
Rosenmeier, Clerk Of Court Stoll anC
L. W. Vasaly, his attorney accompan
led him to St. Cloud. He will be TAX
en- to saltwater by Sheriff Felix nex'
week.
Bennett was arrested late Thursda :
evening of last week by Hubert Freis
niger, special agent for the Northern
Pacific, who suspected him of being {
dope 6end. He questioned Bennett and
then searched him, finding severa
cases Of morphine, cocaine and heroin
one case bearing the name Of loca
physician. -
Friesinger brought Bennett to tn.
office Of Mayor Fortier, where he was
thoroughly searched and another case
Of drugs was found on his person. He
told them that he had been a. user OF
drugs for over years and that he had
tried to get cured several times, but
had failed. He expressed a desire tc
90 to- an institution where he coulo
get cure.
Questioned as to whether he h.
ever been arrested he told the author
tiles that he had served eighteen
months in the state reformatory at
st. Cloud for participating in a dia'
mond robbery in st. Paul three years
ago.
His story as to how he secured the
drugs from local physicians office
seems partly manufactured. He stated
that he and "pal' watched the doc.
tor leave his office. in an automobile
and they then tried the office door
and, finding it unlocked, entered. Af
ter gaining entrance to the office II
was easy to get the desired drugs, he
said. The reason all Of the dope was
found on his person Bennett said, was
because his pal did not dare to carry
it.
That Bennett is experienced in open
ing cabinets, etc., was shown by the
manner in which he gained admission
to the places where the drugs were
kept. He used a hammer and a screw
driver to gain entrance into the room
where they were kept, these tools be-
ing found on the floor later.
Bennett came to this city from Sta
pies, where he had spent the previous
night in Jail. He was given transpor'
tation to this city by the authorities
at that place.
He expressed his willingness to plead
guilty to robbery before the district
Judge providing be be sent to an instl
tuition where he can be cured Of thu
drug habit. County Attorney Rosen
meier informed him that no conditional
plea would be considered. He. there
fore decided to plead guilty and tak'
chance Of his transfer to place
where he could be cured of the drug
habit.

dinance, although they have nearly
four years yet in which to- 10 it. The
first telephone pole to be hacked was
the one occupying the corner of Broad

,Jetka ha-,lware store.
