Will Not Revoke Litem.
Chief Antles of the police depart
ment says that the dispatch from Al
liance was in error In stating that
the police intended revoking the li
cense of a local pawn broker, if he
did not return the watch said to have
been pawned by Charles Brenkley,
who is now in the penitentiary.
Brenkley robbed a house in Alliance
and claims to have pawned a watch,
one of the stolen articles, while pass
ing through Lincoln. He was arrest
ed In lOast St. Louis by Sheriff Cox of
Alliance and pleaded guilty to the
burglary and was sentenced to a term
In the penitentiary. When brought
to Lincoln he pointed out the pawn
shop at which he claims he pawned
the stolen watch. The broker has no
record of the transaction and stoutly
denies that Brenkley was ever In his
shop. "We will not revoke the bro
ker's license on the mere statement
of Brenkley," said Chief Antles. "We
have done all there is for us to do
regarding the matter. If they still
believe the broker has the watch they
should get a search warrant or re
plevin the watch." State Journal.
