BRIT ENlAMDS RETURN OF rum
Boyd County Taxpayers Irl ( sss - -
Bryan's Humor in Fr, = - .ncts
Budened by Expense Of Prosecution Of ,nredent Cases
Citizens Say Governor Should Hare Consulted Them
Before Acting Paroles OF Dfanoc Robbers.

ONeill, Neb., Jan. 4.-Court and
county officials and taxpayers of Boyd
county are angry and disgusted with
Governor Charles Bryan and the state
board of pardons and paroles for turn
ing Charles Anderson, alias Charles
Sapp. out of the penitentiary Decem-
Der II.
They are particularly enraged over
the joeund spirit and levity displayed
by Governor Bryan and other men,
hers of the board at the session on
the Sapp case. The taxpayers are
especially wrathy because the county
has been impoverished and they have
had a heavy burden to bear due al
most entirely to the prosecution of
criminals nonresident in the county,
but coming within its jurisdiction to
fracture the felons' code of the state.
The first time the county was
plunged into debt on a criminal prose-
cution was when vigilantees years
ago lynched Barrett Scott. county
treasurer of Holt county. After the
vigilantees had killed Scott. they sank
the body in the Niobrara river on the
Boyd county side, where it later was
discovered.
Plead 10 Jail Breaking.
Since then there have been other
criminal actions to keep the county
in debt, and for this reason when
Charles Sapp and Ed Brandt. being
held in jail awaiting trial for robbing
the store of +. J.. Bates of Monowi.
December Il, 1921. broke Jail and
later were recaptured. II was decided
in the interest of economy to sentence
them to the penitentiary on their plea
of guilty to jail breaking, instead Of
further impoyerishing the county with
an expensive trial on the original
charge.
Charles Anderson, or Sapp,. is a
professional thief with a record. ac-
cording to Sheriff Frank Heenan of
Boyd county. Chief of Police Matt
Shaffer, jr., of Norfolk says that
The Omaha morning bee. [volume] (Omaha [Neb.]) 1922-1927, 1924-01-05

Norfolk police records show that he
served a Jail sentence for stealing
tires out of n Northwestern box car
and also that he was arrested at
Norfolk and again in Stanton county
for stealing furs.
Sapp and Brandt were arrested at
Ainsworth by Sheriff Slonniger of
Brown county. December 81, 1921. In
the car they were driving when ar
rested was found a big portion of
the merchandise stolen from the
store
At the time of robbing the Bates
store at Monowi. the thieves also stole
a safe weighing about 400 pounds,
hauled 1t in their car down to the
Red Bird crossing over the Niobrara
river, and there blew off the door
and took the contents. s135.
Didn't Know Methods.
According to reports, it was this
theft of the safe that excited the
risibilities OF Governor Bryan and
the pardon board, because Sapp is n
slight man, weighing about 100
pounds. The governor and members
of the board frequently have declared
themselves TO be reformed dirt farm
ers. As such they must have traded
at a country store. The Bates store
was a country store in a country
town, too small to afford night
watch.
AS country store, it had a load
ing platform. from which to load
barrels of salt and other heavy arti-
cles onto farmers wagons and
trucks. The thieves merely rolled
the small safe out on the platform
from the store and then skidded it
on into their car.
Sapp and Brandt escaped from the
Boyd county Jail the night of Febru-
airy 10, 1922. by picking Q lock with
the hook off window pole and then
cutting thei rway out of Jail. Brandt
was caught two days Sater and Sapp
six months afterward by Sheriff
Heenan in Trip county. South Da-
kota.
