are in charge Of the registration, and
the direction Of activities, are taking
pains 70 provide a program which

.JURY'S VERDICT
KUNEY IS GUILTY
Defendant, Broken in Body
and Spirit, Sobs as Yer
dict is Read.
PROBATION PLANNED
Judge and District Attorney
Working on Probation
Sentence for Man.

Harry Kinney, 50 years DID, was yes
terday found guilty Of having burg
larized the Kappus Bros. bakery on
Main strete of approximately $40 on
the night of September II, by jury
in criminal sessions of the circuit
court yesterday after the jury had
been out two and one half hours.
When the verdict was returned
Kinney burst into tears. For several
minutes sobs racked the old man,
withered from prolonged, frequent and
progressive sprees. 1t was while on
the last drunk that he got into the
bakery and cleaned out the tills.
He was comforted somewhat when
he learned that Frank Symmonds, dis
4rict attorney, was talking over with
Judge E. B. Belden, a plan whereby
the stigma of prison might be removed
from the sentence. Providing some
one can be found who will take Kinney
under probation, as provided by the
state board of control, he will serve
his sentence outside prison walls.
Will Question Brother.
Kinney, it is understood has a
brother living at Three Lakes, Wis
consin. The district attorney will
communicate with him today in an eff
fort to have him take Harry UP there
to live with him.
The owner of the bakery, who for
more than two years had employed
the defendant, went on the stand yes
terday as a witness for the defense.
He testified that Harry had reputa-
ton for being honesty- and that for
many months he had sold all the stale
baked goods, receiving the cash and
that he had never been short penny.
He also said that Harry had done the
work of checking provisions and pro-
duction in and out of the store, and
that he had considered him trust
worthy.
AL Drury, Kuney's attorney, in his
closing argument, made strong plea
to the jury to consider the fact that
of the time the burglary was said to
have been committed, Harry was in a
condition where his nerves were shat
tered from drink, and that it was prae-
tically impossible for him to over
throw the honest habits of a life
time and in such a weakened moment
to become a criminal.
The district attorney contended that
the facts showed an intent to com
NIT the crime, and that the fact that
he went in earlier in the evening, and
in all probability opend the door from
the insideg showed that he had the
robbery in mind. He also pointed to
the confession made by Kinney to the
police officials, as very damaging
evidence.

Bridegroom, Forgot
Marriage Licence

Michael Hulko did not forget to
apply for his marriage license. He
was so much interested in doing the
thing right that he applied for a
license to wed long before the cere-
mony was to take place. Hulko is %,
lives at 357 Middle street, and hiB
sweetheart, Miss Anna Krukierck is a
comely seamstress Of seventeen sum-
mers who comes from Sturdevant, Wis.
Michael brought his bride-to-be to
the marriage license bureau on Octo-
Der IS, and filed the necessary papers,
including the written consent of the
young girls mother. When the license
was applied for, the date fixed for the
marriage was given as November 8.
This morning the couple were to be
at Corliss to be married by Rev. Paul
Weiseman at 900 a. m. Just before
eight o'clock Michaels car was chug-
ging in an anxiety to be off and the
bridegroom and his friends were just
about to step inside when Michael
the license, although he had applied
for. it in good season. He wildly tele-
phoned the police wanting to know
what he could do about it. He must
be at Corliss at nine O'Clock and not
keep the clergyman waiting with book
in hand to officiate and no wedding
couple there. The police advised him
to call Charles Holderness, county
clerk. Mr.. Holderness was on his way
to the Office, the bridegroom learned.
/. Michael hurried down, secured the
license and dashed out. 1t is presum-
able that he saw none of the arterial
highway "stop" signs on his way out
of Kenosha, and that he event some"
as he hastily beat it on the road
to Corliss.
