OLSON. The judge Of the court was not
present and the district attorney was
not there. The message which had
come to Kenosha told Jacobson, Bring
your lawyer and ten thousand dollars"
and Jacobson complied fully. His at
torney, Alfred L. Drury, was waiting
for him in Milwaukee and the two
went together to the court. The clerk
OF the court read the warrant to JAG
OLSON and told him the bonds would
be ten thousand dollars and the cash
bond was furnished at once and Jacob
son left the court room. The charge
of accessory before and after the fact
is admitted to be very serious
charge indicting that the court will
demand that Jacobson answer charges
of having knowledge of the burglary
before it was committed.
Issues Sweeping Denial.
The arrest of Jacobson exclusively
announced in the News on Thursday
afternoon was real sensation here.
Attorney Drury, who represented
Jacobson at the informal hearing, is
sued a sweeping denial of the guilt of
his client this morning. Whatever
else can be said, these men are not
fools and any one with common sense
knows that they had nothing to do with
that burglary. | do not know what the
Milwaukee district attorney may have
in mind, but am convinced that these
hu ,1yAb
about the burglary. They have said
repeatedly that they did not pur-
chase any of the liquor which had
been taken in Milwaukee.
Liquor Still Being Sought.
The fact that the Milwaukee detec-
tives are convinced that the liquor
taken or at least some of it, is in
Kenosha, was shown again today when
two detectives from Milwaukee came
to the city and made new searches in
an effort to find it. Maybe it has all
been given away as Christmas pres
ents," declared one of the men, "but ii
came to Kenosha all right"
1t was declared that other arrests
of Kenoshans could be expected in
connection with this case and it was
intimated that the Milwaukee detec-
tives hoped by these arrests to uncover
the ring which is alleged to have been
working with Kenosha and Milwaukee
as a base of operations.
A message from Milwaukee today
said that part of the liquor taken in
the Milwaukee burglary had been
trailed from Kenosha to Chicago, but
that it had not been located there. 1t
is declared that the officials were ex-
pecting a confession from one of the
men held and this confession may lay
bare all facts in regard to the burg;
larry and the disposal of the liquor.
Landis May Get Some of Them.
More terror was thrown into the
hearts of the boot-leggers today when
it was said that these men might be
called to go before Judge Lands. In
dictments made at Lacrosse by the
federal grand jury are alleged to have
been against some of the men who
have been active in the traffic about
Milwaukee and it is said that Judge
Lands will be on the bench in La
Crosse when these cases are heard
early in January. Warrants have not
as yet been issued on these indict-
ments. Many warrants resulting from
indictments in the federal court in
Milwaukee were issued on Thursday
but it was said that the warrants would
not be served until after Christmas.

then be washed off with gasoline and
