SLAY Three;
FAIL TO SECURE LOOT

New York, April 6.-Robbers muir
dered Otto Zinn, restaurant proprietor.
and two of his employees after trying
to crack his safe. Two meat cleavers
were their weapons. The cnly clues
are numerous finger prints.
Roman Held and Stephen Boborins.
ky, two of Zinn's helpers, were in the
restaurant at midnight making ready
fol the mornings business. The po-
lice theory is that the robbers got in
the store early in the evening and
concealed themselves in the wash
room Zinn left about 1890 p. M,
going upstairs to his living room.
Some time later Boborinsky went to
the coal pile. Apparently he was
felled from behind with a eleaver
blow. = ~ --,s.' 80 b.
The robbers had been working on
the metal ceiling of the celler en-
deavoring to cut section out SO that
Zinn's safe would fall into the cellar.
Held, the other employe, apparently
became curious over Boborinsky's alb
sence and went to investigate and he
vase likewise murdered.
The robbers then attacked the safe.
The noise of the safe falling into the
cellar aroused Zinn. His body was
found in the cellar.

which sends Elmer Jones and H.
Hans Sogge to the state penitentiarJ
for five years and Betsy Jones to the
county Jail or the Florence Critten-
don home for one year. With fifteen
forms of verdicts prepared for them,
making it possible to find any of the
defendants guilty of first or second
degree murder, first or second degree
manslaughter or not guilty, the jury
pondered over four hours before
reaching a decision.
Elmer Jones, father. of the child
in question and Mrs: Hans Sogge,
mother of the girl who gave birth to
it, were held responsible to the great
er degree and were convicted of man
slaughter In the first degree. The
|girl-mother, Betsy Jones, was con-
victed of granddaughter in the second
degree. The jury fixed the punish
ment of the first two at five years in
the state penitentiary while one year
in the county Jail was the punish
ment for Betsy Jones. The jury rec
commended that she be committed to
the Florence Crittendon home instead
of being confined in the county jail.
1t is rumored that an appeal will
be taken by Attorneys Torger Shines
and Victor WARDROBE for the defense.
A decision on this point will be
reached during the customary stay.
The offense for which the trio were
convicted occurred October 10, 1914,
lat the Harold Sogge farm in Benton
county. On December 10, 1914, the
body of an infant child was taken
from the vault, of an outhouse on the
place and the trio were arrested. The
case was taken to Cando, Towner

ants agreeing to go to trial Jointly in
