MAN ADMITS
KIDNAPPING
WOMEN
Bandit Remanded
to Jail Without Bond
Following Hearing.

Waving preliminary hearing on two
complaints charging robbery by assault
with . firearms, 25-year-old white
man, arrested in connection with the
robbery Of Mrs. Katherine Clark and
Mrs. Gertrude Rieden, was remanded
to Jail without bail by Justice of the
Peace Anton Adam Saturday. APP
pleation for a writ of habeas corpus
was filed Immediately in the Ninety
fourth District court. Date for the
hearing was set for January 4.
The two charges were filed by po-
lice officers, following an alleged con-
fession made to Detective Chief Sam
Street and Captain Walter Harvey in
which the man, recently released from
the penitentiary, assumed full blame
for the robbery of the two women
Wednesday night.
The man told in minute detail of
his abduction of the two women in
Mrs. Clark's automobile, and the rob-
berry at point seven miles from the
city on the Castroville road.
DENIES TORTURE JOB
But throughout the questioning he
maintained that he was not the "tor-
ture bandit" who Thursday night
wounded Mrs. Nina Harrington, also
of the Rio Vista apartments, 80 times
with a small knife in an attempt TO
force her to give up her diamonds.
Saturday he again was quizzed in
regard to the torture robbery OF
which he was suspected.
He did not attempt to deny his
responsibility for the first robbery
after the two victims had identified
him. Mrs. Harrington was unable to
identify him as the attacker, who
threw her from her automobile on
North Flores street after his torture
had failed to produce the diamonds.
The bandit suspect once was ac'
quilted Of a murder charge in San
Antonio. Later he was sent to Hunts

THE President is still to be heard

And the President, unlike some other
public gentlemen, spends his time lis
tening, instead of talking.
He knows how the people feel about

if the President should give Colonel
Mitchell some fatherly advice, then
send him back to his work in the

ask your neighbor in the street car

from Bryan Mack, well-known cih-

at is all right for Wisconsin to
