KERSENBROCK IS
FONI'D NOT GUILTY
(Pierce County Leader.)
(Last Week.)
The case of the State of Nebraska
versus John Kersenbrock of O’Neill
was tried in the District Court,
of Pierce county at Pierce this week,
and the outcome of the same was
that the defendant was found not
guilty. The charge against Kersen
brock was stealing twelve head of
hogs from the farm occupied by Wil
liam Hauswirth and owned by the Se
curity State Bank of Osmond, and
which is located one mile east and one
and a one-half miles south of Plain
view.
It seems that on October 24, 1927,
Kersenbrock came to the Hauswritii
farm and took twelve head of hogs and
had trucked them to his home at
O’Neill, by John Abbott, a truck man
of that place. The evidence showed
that Kersenbrock had gone to the
farm and had a conversation with
Hauswirth, and after that the Haus
wirth family went to a show in town,
' and then Kersenbrock and his man
| drove up and loaded the hogs in the
truck and took them to O'Neill, where
I they were sold for $148.
While Kersenbrock was in business
I at Osmond conducting a meat market
and grocery store, he let the Haus
wirth family have about three or four
hundred dollars worth of meats and
groceries for which he never received
any pay. Lately it seems that Haus
wirth told Kersenbrock to como to the
farm and get the twelve head of hogs
as part payment for the bill that was
coming to Kersenbrock. This was
done on the night of October 24, 1927.
It later developed that the hogs were
mortgaged to the Security State Bank
of Osmond, which is owned by the
Ci'/.eks, and after they heard of the
deal, they immediately proceeded to
get busy, the result was that Kersen
brock was arrasted and charged with
stealing the hogs. The defendant had
his preliminary hearing in the County
Court and he was bound over to the
District Court, Ervin Kratochvil. who
is a brother-in-law of Kersenbrock
going his bond. The case came up for
trial last Monday. All forenoon was
consumed in getting a jury. Kersen
brock had for his attorneys Mike
Harrington and his son George of
O’Neill, and Douglas Cones of Pierce.
The State was represented by
County Attorney E. D. Beech. It was
a bitterly fought case, and the court
room was tilled with spectators. There
must have been thiry witnesses in the
case, and they came from Osmond and
O’Neill, principally. The taking of
evidence concluded about two o’clock
Tuesday afternoon, and the lawyers
entered upon their pleas to the jury.
County Attorney Beech made the
opening argument to the jury, and it
was a good and able one, too. He
was followed by Attorney Cones, who
made a very logical and sensible talk
for his client. Mike Harrington then
addressed the jury, and he went after
his opponents with hammar and tongs,
and we don’t suppose there has ever
been a more bitter speech delivered
in the court room at Pierce than that
delivered by Harrington against
Hauswirth and his supporters. In
fact, he got so severe that he had to
be called down and cautioned by Judge
Chase.
The jury started to deliberate upon
their verdict about 6 p. m., and at
abftut 8 brought in their verdict of
“Not Guilty.”. The verdict seemed to
meet with the approval of those in the
court room. Mr. and Mrs. Kersen
brock shook hands and thanked each
of the jurymen for what they had done
for them, and then they departed with
their friends for O’Neill. Nebraska.
Thus ends a case that has been a
rather expensive one for Pierce
county.
At this time we want to congratu
late Attorney Beech for the way he
handled the case. He worked hard all
the way alone, and was pitted against
some of the brightest legal lights in
the country. He put up a wonderful
fight, and we suppose one reason he
did not have any assistance was be
cause he wanted to keep down the
expenses for Pierce county as much
as possible.' He lost his case, but he
showed that he is a scrapper and is
’< oking after the interests of Pierce
county at all times

When you use Red Crown Ethyl Gasoline,
you rarely have to shift gears, because you
can slow down and then pick up speed a lot
