The Cemetery Gase.
On the 23rd day of July, 1909, a
complaint was tiled in County Court
charging the Zeller boys and Walter
Treon with defacing a number of
monuments in the Hayestown ceme
tery, a warrant issued and the boys
were brought into court where the
matter was continued to the 18th
day of August, when the matter came
up for trial and after selecting a jury
and some preliminary skirmishes the
county attorney dismissed without
prejudice as to the Zeller boys, whit
Mr. Treon plead guilty on behalf o!
his boy and the judge imposed a Urn
of *23 and costs which was promptly
paid and the boy ilis barged. This
is a most uni'ortuna'e ease, an I wliih
we have no inside information. w.
agree with what Judge t'edler said in
summing up. that a boy ten years ol
age had no conception of the magni
tude of the offense or what was
meant by criminal intent; that i e
had known Mr. Treon for a great
many years and hud never known
anything but good of him; that the
boy looked good to him and if one
poor little fellow had a monopoly on
these tilings there had been a ma
terial change since lie was a boy. Tin
judge said further that he understood
Mr. Treon, although not liable under
the law, had made arrangements with
the Paine Marble Co. ofGrand Island
to place all parties in statu (juo, as
near as possible, which lie considered
very commendable and for that reason
felt justitied in using clemency in
the exercise of his discretion in the
matter.
