WILL APPEAL CASE
From Thursday's Daily
The case of the State of Nebraska
vs. C. Lawrence Stull. charged with
the violation of the liquor law, was
the chief attraction at the court
house yesterday and the county court
room was racked to the limit with
the interested onlookers to hear the
evidence and the arguments.
The chief testimony for the stat
was that of the evidence man who
was here some weeks ago and who
testified to having received liquor
from Mr. Stull at his farm north
west of this city and this was the
only evidence as to the alleged sale.
The defense had a number of wit
nesses that testified as to the evi
dence man having carried liquor on
his person while here, several testi
fied as to having had him give them
drinks at different times, and which
was one of the features of the de
fense that the liquor that was alleged
to have been received from Stull was
the property of the evidence man
and not that of Mr. StulT. Members
of the family of the defendant also
were called to testify as to the ac
tions of the evidence man and as to
whether or not any sale of liquor
had been made.
The methods of the evidence man
was given a scathing denunciation
by Frank Bartos, of Wilber, the at
attorney of the defense at the close
of the case.
County Judge A. H. Duxbury, who
heard the case decided against the
defendant and sentenced him to nine
ty days in the county jail and at
once the notice of appeal to the dis
trict court was announced by the at
torney for the defense.

Jack Patterson
Has Case Against
Him Dismissed
Complaint That Was Filed On His
Beturn From Ohio Is Dismissed
at Hearing.
From Fridays Da!iy
j The complaint that was filed here
by the county attorney at the time
of the return of Jack Patterson from
Cleveland. Ohio, and which charged
aim with e mbezzlement of a govern
ment bond of $l,(n, was dismissed
yesterday afternoon in the county
court and Mr. Patterson freed of any
charges that might be made in this
connection.
The case had not been one that
gave the. state much basis of a prose
cution and little evidence could be
adduced to place the responsibility
for the bond on Mr. Patterson and
following the conference that took
up the greater part of the forenoon
and early afternoon between the rep
resentatives of the Bank of Union,
of which Mr. Patterson was former
ly cashier, the county attorney and
Attorney Frank Howell of Omaha,
the matter was arranged to the satis
faction of the bank and the case
dismissed by the county attorney.
A motion by County Attorney
Kieek to dismiss the complaint, which
specifically ciiarged the embezzle
ment of a thousand dollar Liberty
bond, stated that prosecution of the
case was doubtful and that the coun
ty would be put to an unusually
heavy expense.
Neither bank oxcials nor Pat
terson would reveal the exact amount
of the settlement, but it -Is under
stood to have been about $2,300.
Charge Discredited.
Attorney Frank Howell of Omaha,
counsel for Patterson, pointed out
that the settlement did not involve
the thousand dollar bond named In
the complaint. That charge was dis
credited, he said.
"The reason that I have permit
ted two continuances to be taken
was to allow county authorities to
make furthe.r investigation of their
charges. I was confident that they
could conclude there was no justifi
cation for any criminal prosecution
It has turned out just as I expected."
Patterson, who originally had
planned to contest the suit, said he
had been sure the charge would be
recognized as a mistake. Neither
he nor his father had been worried
by the charge, they said, and the
hearing, which was scheduled for 10
o'clock Thursday, escaped the elder
Patterson's memory until nealry
noon.
Says Everything "Square."
W. B. Banning, cashier of the
bank, would not comment on the dis
missal, but declared that "every
thing is square now."
This closes the action as regards
Mr. Patterson and will now permit
him to go ahead with his plans of
readjusting himself and getting back
to his old surroundings from which
he was self exiled for a period from
August 1924 until a few weeks ago
when he was found at Cleveland
Ohio, and later returned home to his
family and friends. Mr. Patterson
has not fully decided as to his plans
but expects to get engaged in busi
ness or work now that the charge
against him have been withdrawn.
Mr. Patterson states that the set
tlements that were made covered a
few items of individual indebtedness
in notes to the bank and also the
stock that is still held in the name
of Mr. Patterson and which was tak
en over by the bank, the negotia
tions coveirng the question of the
amount that was asked for the stock.
The bond matter was dismissed as
Mr. Patterson states he had no part
in handling the bond and knew noth
ing of the transaction and the dis
position of the bond was something
that he was in no way responsible
for.

Platters Play
Hard Game Against
Tecumseh High
Locals Lose by Score of 13 to 7 at
i Tecumseh on Tuesday After-
noon Score on Pass.
i From Faturdav's Daily
The Plattsmouth hich scho'il foot
ball team tangled with what is p n
erally doped as the "class" in the
southeastern Nebraska schools vhm
they played the Tecumseh high school
pig skin warriors on their own lot
and as the result of the unpleasant
ness the Tec umseh boy v. ere th
winner by the tcore of IS to 7.
The game was one in which the
i Platters made a good showing and
the result of the battle betwe n th
two schools was decided by t In
breaks that in this case were favor
able to the Tecumseh warriors when
'one of the fumbles of the Platter
grew into a touchdown for th'-ir foes.
The Platters inheir work f-howed
superiority in the line game and i:
the line plunges and their passing
game showed improvement and i;i
fact the score of the Plattsmouth
team came as the result of a beauti
ful pass to Jack Hatt that he placed
down behind the goal line for th
first blood of the hectic struggle.
The first half of the game was
scoreless with tLe locals more than
playing their share of the game and
preventing the Tecumseh team re
peatedly from making their down?
and Perry made some effective
punches on the line in the opening
portion of the game but a bad pass
lost some twenty hard earned yards
for the locals.
The scoring of Plattsmouth came
in the third quarter of the game
when a passing attack by Perry to
Gansemer gained ground and after
which the locals punted some- forty
yards and carried the ball into the
Tecumseh territory where the Ilig
gins crew wf.s held and then thre
was doing when after line plunges
a pass to Hatt brought the first
score. and then the big right foot
of .Bob Fitch put over the extra
point. . .
Just after the play had been re
sumed the Tecumseh team recovered
a fumble that closed what seemed
like another Plattsmouth smash
Perry was lugging the ball and Fitch
as interference and as Fitch dove into
the opposing tackier they fell and
Perry also tripped over the strug
gling warriors, the ball flyincr from
his hands into the palms of Casford.
quarter of the Tiggins gang and who
raced thirty-five yards for the touch
down, but the try for point failed
and left the score 7 to .
The last scoring of Tecums h was
in the latter part of the fourth quar
ter when a well executed fake end
run was staged that resulted in a pass
for twenty-five yards for the Tecum
seh lads and a ten yard smash car
ried the ball over and then Cauford
kicked for the extra point.
