Plattsmouth, Nebraska Convicted Man Claims was Lured Into Confession John Meehan of Havelock States That He Was Illegally Searched and Case Misrepresented. From "Wednesday s Daily This morning in the office of the clerk of the district court a motion for a new trial in the case of the State of Nebraska vs. John Meehan. was offered by the attorneys for the defense, J. A. Capwell and V. A. Robertson, in support of the motion, an affidavit being filed by Mr. Mee han in which he denies the plea of guilty made here at the preliminary hearing and later at the arraignme in the district court. In the affidavit filed today the de fendant states that ho was subject to the duress and threats of the arrest ing officers when he was taken in custody at Havelock, that he was il legally searched and that his premises were also illegally searched by the officers. It is further claimed that the defendant was not given the op portunity of communicating with his family or in securing the advice of counsel at the time of his arrest and was held in custody without the op portunity of being allowed to com municate with anyone or to be ad vised of his rights. It Is further stat ed that the defendant was told by the officers at Lincoln that he would be charged with a misdemeanor and not a felony, that he was advised that if he pled guilty that he would be given a small punishment and that the railroad company did not prose cute an old employe but that they would be satisfied at dismissing him from their service. Tho defendant also stated that the court that heard his case was not able to have know- i ledge of the real facts in the case and that the defendant has a good and sufficient defense to offer to the 'charges that have been preferred jagaisnt him. He therefore asks for a rehearing of the case and the op portunity of making a defense of the case. The man Meehan wa3 arrested at Lincoln by the representatives of the detective force of the railroad com pany and was not brought here un til the time for his arraignment and therefore was not examined or ques tioned by the Cass county authorities and to the charges filed here he made -i plea of guilty.

GAME CALLED AT 2:30 Admission, 35c Ladies Free Free Grand Stand From Wednesday's Dally Last evening Herbert Klauschle ar rived in the city from the south where he has been since March engaged in playing ball in the Rio Grande valley baseball league. Mr. Klauschie, who was former catcher of the local team of the Sarpy-Cass county league, was taken to the spring training camp at Laredo, Teras, by the Des Moines team of the Western league and his work at the training camp attracted the attention of the Laredo manage ment of the valley league who secur ed his services and with whom he has been playing for the past several months. Owing to the humid climate of that section of the country Mr. Klauschie has decided that he prefers his native surroundings in the north and has returned to his home at Omaha and has not fully decided on his playing plans for the remainder of the season. THE POWER OF PUBLICITY There are narrow-minded individ uals who claim that the cost of pub licity is not a legitimate expense of public service corporations. Publicity which encourages the widest use of , an article is the most potent influ ! ence to reduce the expense of that ' article to the consuming public, i Without publicity, the demand for an article becomes universal and the cost of production drops to a minimum. That is why Americans enjoy the best public utility service in the world utility companies are consist ent users of advertising space. They have acquainted the people with every phase of their business' and shown them the advantages of using elec tricity, gas, the telephone and street railway service. Their success is an outstanding example of the fact that advertising does pay when applied to an article or service of merit. SUES FOR DAMAGES From Wednesdays Daily W. W.
