sha, without any promises of immunity
whatsoever.
Earl Loveday and myself arrived in
the City Of Kenosha on the 9th day
of February 1919 After arriving here
we went to the Fischer Hotel and regis.
tered, paying the man at the desk $500
apiece for room and board. After regis,
tering we went directly to our rooms to
put our suit eases away, then we left
the hotel to search for some job to pull
off. After searching for several hours
without success we went back to the
hotel for dinner. After dinner we start,
ed out again just to bum around and
the same thing at night without any
object in view.
Spotted Brass Company Office.
The second day we started out to
spot job. We spotted the American
Brass Company Office. We figured that
it would be easy picking as it was away
from the factory buildings and very
easy to get at without being molested.
We decided that I should stand watch
at the American Brass that night to
study the movements of the Waterman.
! saw the Waterman open the iron gate
which leads into the office garage and
then close it, He then walked across
the street and went into the shanty
1t was my idea that he never went
into the office at all, so j went back to
the hotel and told Loveday about it
and he said that it looked good and
that he would write letter to a friend
of his in Chicago and have him come
to Kenosha and help them pun this job.
Send Letter for Third Man.
He sat down at the table and immedi-
atsly wrote this letter This party ar
rived at the hotel Sunday afternoon,
and we were both sitting at a table
at the time when he walked right up
to us and spoke to Loveday, who in
troduced him to me as Dutch This is
all | know him by, as / never saw him
before until that day.
The three of us left the hotel and
started for the American Brass Com
pany Office to see if it was alright with
him. This was about $500 or 400 P.
M. After we showed him the place he
was satisfied and agreed that we blow
The safe that night, We started out
to look for tools, We ran across a ma
chine shop on Strong street near the
brass works, entered this place through
bAe side door. Loveday and Dutch
went inside while / stood watch out

minutes later with some tools consist

mer and one cold chisel They told me
that they broke into the safe and stole

NJ when we started to enter the Ameri-
IAN Brass Company Office. We crawled
