LEeED CHEAT
At ARSENAL IS
GIVEN HEARING
Blnon z:Erin Brought Back From
6outs Bend, Ind, and Case Is
Continued Ten Days.

Simon Ziffrin was placed under
$4,000 bond by Magistrate d. J..
Cleland in police court yesterday
afternoon pending a. hearing 10 days
hence on a charge Of perpetrating
= confidence game.
A warrant was sworn out for
Ziffrin by Miss Alvina Clair, who
alleges that the man took money
from her under pretense that he
would conclude q lucrative invest
ment whereby she would obtain a
sure return.
Ziffrin was arrested at South
Bend, Ind. and was brought back
to Rock Island by Detective Earl
Shannon, who went to South Bend
Wednesday noon after Geographic
communication that Ziffrin had
been apprehended was received
from the South Bend police.
War Arsenal Worker.
Ziffrin was recently employed at
the Rock Island arsenal. He is
alleged to be responsible for the
numerous complaints made r.
women workers at the arsena. unat
they had lost their savings in deal
ings with the man. However, Miss
Clair is the only person who has
thus far made formal complaint
against him.
The man is alleged to have ap-
preached women employees at the
arsenal with glowing tales of easy
profits through investments that he
could make for them. A consider
able amount of money in the aggre-
gate is said to have been collected
by him. Suspicion was soon direct
ed to Ziffrin and the man is said
to have hurriedly left the city.
After Miss Clair swore out the war
rant for his arrest the police sent
out requests that he be apprehend-
ed and detained until they could
come and get him.

Morning Session

William r. Pattangall, chief
counsel for the defense for John A.
Burke opened his closing argument
0.O5 o'clock. Friday morning.
I'm the first place l call to mind a
statement Of Brother Merrill that the
State has no desire but to render JUS
tice; we're approaching the case
with that in mind.
The State and the course for the
defense stand on the same ground in
that respect. Unfortunate circum-
stances have surrounded Mr.. Burke
in the past year or so. may say to
you that my Brother Leigh and my
self are not going into hard long
trial. We present to you from our
standpoint and Mr.. Burke's stand
point and to go over the case in
plain, simple manner and endeavor
to plan my argument on as fair
basis as possible. A certain duty
rests upon you. You Il men are the
sole tryers Of John Burke. You are
the court of last resort.
Even in danger of repeating what
has already been said I wish to tell
one or two points Of law. He comes
into court under a presumption and
that presumption can only be re-
moved by evidence beyond a reason
