O'Hare and Rohde Arrest.
1t was a rafting good haul that the
police made this morning. Motorcycle
Officers O'Hare and Rohde caught the
Marmon slipping down Milwaukee ave-
nue. going south to the melodious tune
Of forty miles per- 1t was just after
midnight and the clocks had struck
tn ca. m. time. The motorcycle men
lost no time in bringing the Marmon
down to the police office. LYMAN
Weiner driving the car whose license
was D41-554 Wis. "a, was booked at
the office on the charge of speeding.
He told the police that he was "a,
single and engaged in the produce
business at Milwaukee. The Marmon
was detained and Weiner spent the
night locked UP in jail.
Car Smells to Heaven.
The police did not search the Mar
mon car, They had no search war
rant, and they are familiar with the
late It supreme court decisions in these
mat rs.
b hey did not have to look into
the car 20 guess what was inside. 1t
had fragrance that did not suggest
a conservatory or bower of roses.
1t was more like the, stencil of a dis
tillery, sweet to some nostrils, rotten
to others. Besides when Weiner was
pulled out of the car there was some
thing in the back seat that looked
suspicious.
As soon as the sun was up and the
regular day commenced the police took
action. The night man left the de-
partment and the day men came on
for their round. Captain Clausen and
Lieut.. Rock Immediately procured a
search warrant for the Marmon car.
Assisted by Sergeant Schneeberger,
Motorcycle officer Melbusch and Turn
key Long, the raid" was made.
1t took all this brigade of officers to
carry st" upstairs. For in back of
the car was perfect load of booze,
twenty cans in all, each containing
five gallons. In order to facilitate
the transportation of the booze, the
back seat had been removed, and the
cans. were piled there, one upon an
other and covered with a dark robe.
On top was a package of meat, some
boxes of Strawberries and other in
nocent-looking articles.
Pleads Not Guilty.
Weiner when arraigned before Judge
Slater this morning first on the charge
OF speeding, SAID ne sposed he was
guilty"
You suppose? Don't you know? o.
asked the municipal judge.
1T was dark and l could not see the
face Of my speedometer."
"A man does not have to look at a
speedometer to know whether he is
going fifteen or forty miles an hour,
was the reply of the judge.
As Weiner finally pleaded guilty,
the judge assessed fine of $25 and
costs, and then expressed surprise
when he saw the second complaint
charging booze running against the
same man.
On the charge of booze running
Weiner was more glib with his an
swer.
N guilty" he said Immediately,
and the ease was set for the 23rd for
preliminary hearing.
