Made on the Interior

Excellant progress is being made
on the new house at the town farm.

house can be made before the figures
are compiled for the annual town re

Thomas Evans Had Accused
Thomas Karkey Of
Robbing Him
PRISONER TOLD
STRAIGHT STORY

Thomas Evans, who works in the
woods on the Eastern Shore of Mary
land for John Cook, appeared in City
Court this morning as prosecuting
witness against another Marylander,
whom he charged with knocking him
unconscious and taking his pocket
book containing SO OF $12. The de-
fendant was Thomas Ksrkey, who
said that his home was in Cambridge,
Md, from which place he walked to
Wilmington, arriving yesterday after
noon
Evans told the court that he arrived
here yesterday from the woods near
Millington, and that he met Karkey IN
saloon and bought him food and drink
and that the man struck him and rem
dered him unconscious and that he did
not know anything else until he was
taken up by the police and his pocket
book was gone
When Karkey was arrested he was
in Deakyne's restaurant eating a bowl
! of soup and he had but % cents On
/ him when searched by the police
Officer Rodenheiser, who arrested the
man, said that he was sober and told
straight story. The officer said that
when he found Evans he was some
what drunk but seemed to know what
/ he was doing.
The defendant told of story that
tailed with the one told by Evans
! with the exception of the assault lie
said that the woodsman did buy him
food and numerous drinks and that
his benefactor was under the influence
of liquor.
Before | left him he gave me %
cents and told me TO get a night
lodging with It.
81 went to the restaurant and was
eating a beef stow when the officer
arrested me-" said the prisoner. The
only money found on the prisoner
was % cents. The defendant, to show
that Evans was talking at random,
called the attention of the court to
the fact that the man declared at first
! that he had been robbed of $50 and
later changed it to $50 and now had
it down TO $40 or S12. There being
insufficient evidence to hold tine de-
= fendant he was told he could go.
