ROY BENEFITS
DISMISSED IN

Judge Rules Evidence Insuffi.
Cient to Convict Him
of Attempt on Life of
Mendenha||.

Roy Bennett, charged with at
tempting to murder Charles Men
denhall, who was ambushed and shot
in Council Bluffs, has been released
and the charge against him dis
missed. Mr.. and Mrs. Mendenhall,
who have been separated and whose
family affairs were intimately con-
nected with the difficulty, have been
reunited. Mrs. Mendenhall will
withdraw her divorce suit and they
will leave Immediately for a new
home in Nebraska.
Mendenhal' and Bennett shook
hands in police court yesterday.
Mendenhall held the hand he alleged
held the pistol that shot him and
looked with kindly eyes into the face
of the man who the assistant county
attorney says admitted intimate re-
lations with Mrs. Mendenhall.
The case was called in police court
yesterday for preliminary hearing.
Bennett was charged with shooting
with intent to commit murder. AS
sistant County Attorney Northrup
presented the evidence and Judge
Capell held that it was entirely in
sufficient to hold Bennett
Mendenhall, who has been in the
Edmundson hospital suffering from
the wound of bullet that ploued
through his body under the left
shoulder, told the story of the shoot
ing on the witness stand He said a
woman called him on the phone dur
ing the afternoon and dared him to
meet his wife on the Street near the
Droge elevator. He said other at,
tempts had been made to lure him
there, and he reminded the woman
of this fact, and declared she said
you always had your gang with
you and you're too cowardly to come
alone
He said there was no one in sight
at the trysting place that night ano
he saw nothing until man suddenly
rose from the weeds and fired the
shot. He did not see anybody rur
away and heard no other sound
There were no other witnesses tc
connect Bennett with the shooting
and his dismissal followed.
Assistant County Attorney North,
rup said yesterday that he would not
press the charge of lewdness against
Bennett. The charge of adultery
that was contemplated cannot be
made by any except Mendenhall and
this has been made impossible by
