Jury in Justice Court Find
Deputy Sheriff Not Gull
ty of Charge.
ALL ABOUT NOTHING
That Is What Attorney Ruetz
Dubs Case which Ends
After Days Hearing.

1t would be rather fun to see Big
Sheriff's motorcycle cops, sentenced
to dine every day at the county Jail
and spend his nights beneath the jail
roof.
But the jury in his case willed
otherwise. 1t took. the six men who sat
upon the case in justice court before
Judge Slater just ten minutes to ar
rive at a verdict.
Then they said "Not Guilty"
Had Perfect Witnesses.
1t is seldom that defendant is able
to come into court with such an array
of witnesses as Steve Robinson had
They were impeccable. They just hap
pened to be there, that was all, and
the testimony they gave in the case
so unbalanced the case of the COM
planning witness, Herman Hirsch, that
he was way up in the air when the
scales toppled down on Steve's side.
The scales of justice, forsooth.
Ben Stahl and his little son, Robert
Stahl, Mrs. Hanson, Arthur Christ
enson were the witnesses the defense
put on late Wednesday afternoon. H.
Stahl testified that on June l, he,
Mr.. Hessler and the boys came along
before IL at nooon on South Sheridan
road, saw some excitement in front Of
the Matzur place and many cars lined
up. He pulled off the pavement and
stopped. He saw Steve Robinson h&v-
ing Hirsch by the arm and marching
him across the concrete. Hirsch he
said, was working his arms, and both
he and his wife appeared very much
excited. He heard Mrs. Hirsch call
them all "bunch. of dirty crooks" and
Steve Robinson said, "Look out, do you
know who this man is" Steve did not
appear to be excited, he said.
Could Not Run Away.
Mrs. Hanson another defense wit
ness was also a perfect one. She said
that she saw Steve sitting on his
m motorcycle and Hirsch running around
him shaking his fist at him. Steve
looked amused for few minutes, but
then got off his motorcycle and push
ed Hirsch off the road, presumably to
clear the way for traffic, she said.
Question: "Hirsch was not running
around when Steve ct hold of him,
was he?"
The witness smiled and said, "He
couldn't very we'll"
Edward Ruetz said in arguing to
the jury, that if Steve Robinson had
not been the kind of man he was,
Hirsch would have been in court on
the charge of resisting an officer.
Frank Symm onds argued at length for
the complaining witness, occupying
about an hour of the time.
The jury made it snappy, finding
Steve, not guilty.

TO HOLD INQUEST
ONDEATH TODAY
Coroner to Probe Facts
Surrounding Killing of
Vim. B. Crawford.
RAIL MEN TO APPEAR

An inquest will be held late today
into the facts surrounding the death
yesterday of William B. Crawford, 80
years old, who was killed when he was
struck by the Badger limited of the
North Shore Line at Zion.
The announcement of the inquest
was made by Truman T. Parker, coun-
the place of death governs the loca-
ton of the inquest. Mr.. Crawford
was taken aboard the train in an un-
conscious condition and rushed to the
Kenosha hospital here, where he died
few moments after being admitted.
The train crew of the limited have
been ordered to appear at the inquest,
it was stated. Orders were sent to
Highwood, ILL.,. late last night for them
going on their regular run today.
transcripts of their statements, made
to company officials, will be handed
to the coroner before the inquest pro-
ceedings start.
Seem to be Blameless.
Mr.. Parker said that while ne can
not say just what will be revealed at
the inquest, it appears from the facts,
as they are obtainable now, that no
blame can be attached to the train
crew. 1t seems that Mr.. Crawford
being hard of hearing stepped onto
the track when the train was less
than 100 feet away. The engineer
slammed on the emergency brakes, but
too late to avoid hitting the old man.
The train was travelling at good rate
of speed, due to the fact that it is an
express which does not stop at Zion.
This is the first inquest to be call
ed in Kenosha county since the one
at which H. Benjamin Eichelman was
held on charge of murder, from
which he was later exonerated at a
preliminary hearing before Judge John
C. Slater in municipal court.

Herman Drath is
Called by Death
Well Known Kenosha Furrier Died
Early This Morning After
Lingering Illness.

Herman Drath, we'll known Kenosha
furrier, died just after two o'clock
this morning at his home at 800 Bron-
son street after an illness extending
over several months. He had suf-
fered from tumor, having undergone
several operations in the past year but
all had been unsuccessful.
The deceased was born in Breslau,
Germany, and had lived his early life
in that country. He came to America
at an early age and had lived in Ke-
nosha more than thirty years. He was
an expert furrier, which trade he had
practiced in Kenosha.
He had been twice married. His
first wife died several years ago; by
this marriage he had two children, a
son Wilfred Drath, who survives him,
and daughter, Martha, who died two
years ago. He is also survived by his
wife, Mrs. Mayme Drath and one son,
Heran, two years old.
The deceased was a member of the
Kenosha camp of the Modern Wood
men. The funeral services will be
held Monday afternoon at the home on
Bronson street with interment follow
ing in the family plot in the Green
Ridge cemetery.

STEVENS ISSUES
LAST CALL" NOW
City Assessor Urges Folks
Entitled to Homestead
Exemption to File.
SOME ARE SKEPTICAL

Skepticism on the part of many re-
garding the offer of $500 exemption
on homestead taxes, which will amount
to a saving of approximately SIS for
each home owner, today led John W.
Stevens, city assessor to make public
letter to the taxpayers over his own
signature. Mr.. Stevens pointed out
that the time for taking advantage of
this saving is getting short, and unless
the public wake up many will find
that the time has passed when by
merely swearing to an affidavit they
can save this amount. Mr.. Stevens
letter follows:
"There is but short time remain
ing for people to take advantage of
the provisions of the homestead law.
This new law becomes effective con-
corning the assessment and collection
of taxes for this year, 1924
Those who are entitled to the ex-
emption are: People who are buying

and mortgage; and those who have

KENOSHA LEADS
in RECREATION
One of Four State Cities
Which Conducts Public
Recreation.
S WORK


Public recreation of the type Keno
sha has conducted for two years is
rapidly coming into it's own in Wiscon-
sin municipalities. This is clearly
shown by 6 summary of the expendl-
ture of cities of the state for recrea-
ton purposes last year, compiled by
the Playground and Recreation associa-
ton of America and announced today.
The summary reports that municipal
expenditures for recreation last year
totaled $3.50, 645.38, more than four and
one-half times the amount spent ten
years ago.
Kenosha Out in Front.
The number of Wisconsin cities
maintaining systems of public recrea-
ton under leadership has grown in
ten years from six to fourteen, accord
ing to the report. The states play
ground and recreation centers have in
creased 275 per cent, it is said, num-
bering 80 in 1913 and 121 in 1928. Ac-
tivities of these centers last year were
directed by 534 recreation leaders while
only 1853 such leaders swere reported
in 1918.
Golf has been put within reach of all
citizens by four Badger cities, includ-
ing Kenosha, Racine, Eau Claire and
Oshkosh. As but So cities in the IN
tied States and Canada report they are
maintaining golf courses, the number
in Wisconsin is said to rank high in
this respect.
Civic Advantages Here.
Though Wisconsin's progress in
recreation has been rapid" the sum-
mary continues, thirty cities of g.
900 population above are still with
out Fairgrounds and recreation lead
ers, the returns show. Recreation au-
thorities in a number of cities of the
state are availing themselves Of the
services of the national associations
representative, ]. r. Bachelor"
The national association plans cam
paign to bring greater recreation facil-
tiles to cities of the state.
Cities that are providing civic adj
vantages of Fairgrounds and recrea-
ton leaders include: Kenosha, Ashland,
DePere, Eau Claire, Hartford, James
vile, Lacrosse, Manitowoc, Mi1wau-
kee, Oshkosh, Racine, Washburn, Wau-
kesha and West Allis.
Kenosha's recreation system, in
stalled two years ago, is supervised by

and they will be forced to pay it. They

MEMORIES ALL
HE HAS LEFT
VIM. Ryan, Soldier and
Actor, Goes to Northern
Hospital Today.
LIVES IN THE PAST
Chats of Days when He Was a
Somebody" but Can't Con-
centrate on Problems Now.

Notwithstanding memories of the
days when he was before the footlights
as an actor or when he heard the call
of his country and fell in with his
comrades to avenge the sinking Of the
Maine in the times of the Spanish
American war-are the only things
which now cling to the failing mind of
William Ryan, 40, Kenoshan who has
been living at the county farm and who
today was taken to the Northern hos
pital at Winnebago.
He is living ever in the past, accord
ing to the report of the physicians who
examined his mental condition and
recommended that he be sent to the
institution for care and treatment. He
talks constantly Of the days when he
was vaudeville actor of no little
ability or of his soldier life, but seems
to be unable to concentrate on the af-
fairs of his life today.
Plenty of Pathos Here.
There are many reasons to pity the
man, now broken in health and reason,
although no doubt one could find fault
with some of his habits in later years.
VIM. Billy" Ryan has had unique
life history. His father was Fenian
and was driven out of Ireland because
he happened to have been witness to
q tragedy when an enraged tenant kill
ed grasping landlord. The father
came to America, fought through the
Civil war as a Union soldier and then
went back to Ireland, al. American citi-
zen. He married there and William
Ryan was born in Ireland.
AS a lad he came to America. He
was a call boy in a vaudeville theater
in Boston and gradually learned some
came an actor, taking small parts in
vaudeville skits. He left the stage
when the Spanish American war broke
out and joined the army and then re-
turned to the vaudeville stage.
Drifted Into Kenosha.
Nobody seems to know how he hap
pened to drift into Kenosha. He was
commencing to live in the past then,
having dropped out of his life as an
actor. Here he worked for many
years at the American Brass company;
he made friends-lots of them, but he
never saved anything for a rainy day.
Sobriety, it is said, was not one of his
virtues; at any rate he drifted from
bad to worse and several months ago
he went to Milwaukee to seek entrance
to the Soldiers home there.
His papers were faulty. He knew of
no relatives to substantiate his claims
and he came back to Kenosha.
Meanwhile his mind was failing.
Often he wandered away from places
where he lived and police found him
frequently lying on the streets.
Always he babbled of the past and
spoke only incoherently of the present.
A sister was found not long ago in Bos-
ton who substantiated his claims re-
garding the war and who also verified
the fact that he had once been an actor.
His condition then had become such
that the court ordered an examination
into his sanity. This was made and
today he was taken to the Northern
hospital, chatting still of the days
when he was a somebody.
