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.

! lected for the honor of pulling up the
flag. The shop boys are to be con
gratulated on their patriotic showing
that caused them to raise the funds

ments of the members of the force

Yesterday afternoon. Dean son of
i Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Snyder of this
city, received a very serious injury to
his left eye while he was engaged in
helping repair some barb wire fence
at the farm of Louis Sack, west of
Mynard.
The young man had gone out to
the Sack farm yesterday morning and

eye and inflicted a serious injury.
Dean was hurried to the Methodist
hospital in Omaha where the injured
eye is being treated by the specialists
and while it is thought that the
sight of the eye has not been injured,
the wound in the eyeball is very
painful and will require the most
careful treatment for some time at

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.
