HAT IN THE RING
WITH COOPER'S
w. A. Freehoff Of Wauke-
sha Announces Candidacy
for Congress.
MEMBER OF ASSEMBLY

The first hat to be SHE'D into the
Congressional ring in this district was
tossed in today when notices were re-
|ceved in Kenosha and other cities in
this district from w. A. Freehoff. of
Waukesha, announcing himself as a
candidate. The announcement stated
that Mr. Freehoff would oppose Con-
gresham Henry Allen Cooper for the
Republican nomination in this dis
trict. Congressman Cooper has not
announced his candidacy for re-elec-
ton but it is presumed that he will
seek to be returned to Washington.
w. A.. Freehoff has had some expert
ence in politics and state affairs. He
is the ,assemblyman from the First
District. in Waukesha county and took
a rather prominent part in the af-
fairs of the sessions of the last legis-
lature. He was at that time mem
Der of the committee on state affairs
and of the committee on commerce
and manufacturers.
Voted With Conservatives.
In state politics Freehoff has al.
ways been listed with the, conserva-
tives, having been one of the regular
members of the group which opposed
the radical proposals made in the leg
islature. He is writer for agricul-
tural papers and has been a leader in
the milk producing industry in Wau-
kesha county.
Mr.. Freehoff has many friends in
Kenosha and many of these were
strong in support of his candidacy
when it became known here today that
he had decided to enter the congress
sional race.

NO TRIALS YET in
MUNICH AL COURT
Defendants Plead Guilty as
Jr~ies Are Drawn in
Their Cases.
TWO CASES DISMISSED
Mike JOhanOvicz and Joe Ur-
ban Dismissed for Lack of
Enough Evidence.
TWO CASES DISMISSED

"The best laid plans of mice and
men gang aft agley." With all the pre-
cautions taken by the judge of the
municipal court and the district at
torney so that things could go tipping
along when the jury came in, two
days of the court have gone by and
no case gone to a jury yet. Those
waiting to get back to the fields that
must be shown betray not unrea-
sonable impatience.
Monday the case of the state
against Peter Norbut, was scheduled
for trial, Norbutt was charged with
intoxication under the state, and his
attorney Leo Vaudreuil in vain tried
to get him to plead guilty. Norbutt re-
fused, but finally just as jury was
in process of being drawn he did plead
guilty. That knocked out that jury
and shot the court work for Monday
full of holes. Norbutt had just delayed
things long enough so that it was not
possible to slip in another case.
Fined Ten and Costs.
Peter Norbutt on his plea of guilty
to the charge of intoxication brought
by the state, done only because he
was habitued to strong drink, he was
fined $40 and costs by Judge Slater.
AS he has been in the county Jail
waiting for trial for period of sew
eral weeks, he was in more sober
condition when he received the sem
tence than he ever was before when
brought before the municipal judge.
George Tees was fined $25 and costs
on his plea of guilty to the charge of
burglary of Wofsy's place. Leo Vaud-
reuill, Tees attorney, pleaded as an
extenuating circumstance the fact
that Tees was drunk at the time and
could have formed no intent to COM
mitt the act of burglary. Judge Slater
took into consideration the fact that
the man had been in Jail for some
time awaiting trial.
$50 and leave booze alone, after
this" conselled the judge, "you see
what it may lead too"
Another Moonshine Plea.
Peter Sheliakis pleaded guilty this
morning when his case was called and
was fined 5000 and costs.
Mike Johanovicz, 33 North Main
street, was discharged and the case
against him on the charge of moon
shine was dismissed for lack of suffi-
cient evidence. A jury was in the box
when the case was dismissed. The case
against Joe Urban, charged with pos
session of home brew was likewise
dismissed, as it was found that the
home brew had not tested to an
amount indicating violation of the
law.
Another liquor case is scheduled for
two o'clock this afternoon.

They had even entered the bedroom

where the police intended to make fur
Their investigations in the interests of
justice.
Probably After Pictures.
The police believe that the home
was entered by metropolitan newspa-
per men who were frantic to secure
pictures of H. B. Eichelman, who is
now held on a charge of numbering
his wife, and also of the wife, both of
which pictures could not be secured in
the regular legitimate channels.
Neighbors gave information to lead
the police to believe that the piece
of vandalism was committed on Sum
day night.
On Sunday Kenosha was invaded by
newspaper men from several Chicago
papers and from one Milwaukee paper
and it is believed that some of these
entered the house. Nothing was found
to be missing with the possible ex-
ception of photographs, upon which
no check could be made.
Interferes With Justice.
The fact that the intruders, who
ever they were, tramped through the
entire house, made it practically USE
less to attempt to secure any further
information regarding the death mys-
terry inasmuch as the home had been
so changed that such Information
would be valueless. The police, how
er, changed their course and immedi-
ately launched on the attempt to find
out who had ruthlessly entered the
home.
Police learned that Henry Eichel-
man, father of the accused man, and
A. L. Drury, his legal counsel, had
discovered on Monday afternoon that
the home had been entered but had
made no report of the affair to the
police. The latter had found that the
intruders had entered the home by

breaking small window in the base
ment and that after ransacking the
house, looking even under the rugs
side door, leaving the latter unlocked.
Today Henry Eichelman, the father,
received package by mail from a
city other than Kenosha which re-
turned bundle of photographs which
had evidently been taken out of the
home.
Meanwhile the police and the dis
trict attorney have been checking up
on the story told by Eichelman to Of
.ficials and later to the coroner's jury
and have uncovered some most inter-
esting testimony which will be laid
before the court at the preliminary
hearing on Saturday.
Milkman Tells Story.
A milkman, who furnishes milk to
the Eichelman home, was found by
the police. He told them that on Fri
day he went to the Eichelman home
lat eleven-thirty and that Eichelman
answered the door and paid him So
to be applied on their account. The
milkman declares Eichelman told him
that his wife was i'll. This is not in
variance with the story told by Eichel-
man although it is an incident which
he thus far has failed to mention.
A check-up at the drug store re-
vealed that shortly after noon Eichel-
man had been there and had secured
a quieting powder, which he had
charged to his account. About 1880
he had returned and had secured some
chewing gum which he had paid for.
Investigation has also been made to
secure witnesses who heard the shot
fired in order that the time of the
woman's death might be established.
These witnesses have. increased in
number and the time named by them
varies greatly from 1920 to more
than a half hour later.
Refuses Special Fare.
At the Jail Eichelman has been kept
alone in his cell. He was offered the
privilege of having special fare pro-
vided by his family if he so desired
but he asked that he be made no ex-
ception and that he be given the regu-
lar meals furnished to the other pris-
oners. His sister, Mrs. Edward Peter
son, visited him at the Jail for a
short time on Monday.
District Attorney Morris Barnett is
preparing for the preliminary hearing
which is to be held on Saturday. The
possibility has doomed up that Eichel-
man will not testify at this time and
| it is admitted that such a procedure
would make it much more difficult to
present testimony strong enough to
secure his binding over for trial.
