Charles Thompson Alleges
Mate Searches Pockets and
Charges Him with Paying
Other Women Attentions.

Charles V. Thompson, So, living at
1021 North I street, after his arrest
today on charge Of assault and bat
terry on his wife, two years his senior,
informed Chief Of Police Goodwin that
he was henpecked husband, and 1t
was necessary for him to assert his
rights at times with his fists. Thomp-
son is a man of substantial means,
owning several pieces of property.
Thompson says that his wife not
only takes charge Of all his wages and
the income from his property, leaving
him little or nothing to spend, but OF
late has been accusing him Of trifling
with the affections of other women.
Honest, chief, that woman hasn't
let me enjoy a good nights rest in
two weeks with her scoldings," re.
marked Thompson quite plaintively.
Wife Searches Pockets.
He also asserted that she had ac-
quired the habit of going through his
pockets all the time, taking possession
of what money she finds in them. He
says she placed all his money in a
bank, where she has an account.
Thompson said the attack he made
on his wife was the climax of her
accusations that he kept company with
other women and a dispute over do.
mestic finances. The row started in
the house and was concluded in a
snow bank in front Of the house.
An agitated neighbor telephoned tc
police headquarters that Thompson
was killing his wife" When the pc
lice machine arrived Chief Goodwin
and Patrol Driver Wenger found
Thompson holding his wife in snow
drift and giving her a sound pummel
ing. She Indignantly demanded the
arrest Of her husband, but at police
headquarters they are wagering thai
she would appear before Monday
with a plea for the release of heI
spouse, as she did once before wher
he was arrested for attacking her.
Thompson when arrested had just
a penny in his purse, which, he says
is conclusive proof that he does not
handle the family revenue. AS fal
as being a gay heart-breaker Is con
cerned, he says, mo chance" His wife
demands too much Of his time and at
tentions.

LOCKER LooTER

Through the efforts Of Detective
Bowman of a Dayton agency the mys-

at last been solved.

trap which had been set by the de.
tective.
Through small holes in a partition
wall Bowman saw the young man en-
ter the locker room, peer about eau.
tiously to assure himself that he was
not being observed, and then by using
a master key open several lockers
After Koenigkramer had looted to his
hearts content. securing $500, knife
and a fountain pen, Bowman stepped
out upon him and told him he was
under arrest
Admits Other Thefts.
The young man accepted the situa-
tion calmly and after he had been re.
moved to police headquarters frankly
confessed that he had four times raid
ed lockers at the Y. M. c. A., Chief
Goodwin said today. Koenigkramar
was removed to the county Jail.
Chief Goodwin said that Koenig-
kramer estimated that in his various
looting expeditions he had stolen al
most $25 and had taken quite few
articles. such as knives and fountain
pens from clothing left in the lockers.
Il don't know what made me steal
the things" the youth told Chief Good
win.
He said he had stolen the master
key to the lockers from Physical d.
rector Roach. 1t is probable that a
charge of petit larceny will be placed
against him. John F. Koenigkramer,
father of the young man, was at police
headquarters this morning and said he
would make an effort to have his son
released on bond. He expressed the
hope that Judge Fox would suspend
sentence on the boy to give him an
opportunity to reform.
Recently every large public event
at the Y. M. C. A. has been the signal
for a raid on the locker room. Rich
mond and Anderson high school bas-
ketball teams played there last night
and it was correctly surmised that the
thief would take advantage of this
event to do some looting. .......

The reference to the railroad legis-

that the public service commission fix
