Maurice Petty may consider him
self lucky in escaping with so light
sentence as one year in the county jail
for the theft of an automobile from
blind relative, M. M. Hartzell, west of
town, August 7th last. Aside from
serving the Jail penalty, Petty must
also pay the money spent in locating
the machine and of bringing it back to
its owner. Litigation is liable to be
involved in securing the car as it was
traded for another car and $125 at a
La Crosse garage by Petty, and since
has been the principal in a series of
trades and sales. Petty will doubtless
be put to work under the Huber law
and his earnings for the year devoted
to the support of his family.

up somewhere working his confidence

plan was to secure negotiable notes
from his victims, which he would real
ize on and pass on to new territory.
His confederates who assisted in his
escape form The Carlton hotel, who
were arrested, were released shortly
afterward.
