Just wired to O'Neill authorities lu
quiring about the reward and as to
whether Hngerty Is still.wanted. The
reward for Hagerty was withdrawn
when Judge Westover dismissed the
case against his partner , Bernard Me-
Greovy at Bassett last spring.
New Complaint Against Pat.
A new complaint against Hagerty
was Hied In court here on Monday of
this week and warrants are out on
both this and the former complaint for
his arrest. Both complaints charge
him with receiving money for depos
its after he know the bank to be In
solvent.
Sheriff Hall has wired the sheriff of
Webb county , Texas , to hold Hagerty
and it is possible that he may be
brought back.
May Not be Prosecuted.
It is possible that Hagerty , however -
over , although he mined the bunk hero
and robbed poor orphans and widows
as well as business men of O'Neill of
their lifetime savings , may not be
prosecuted.
After the county had gone to the ex
pense of capturing McGreevy and hold
ing him , he was summarily dismissed
I from court and all charges against him
thrown to the winds In a day , before
the trial had ever had a start. The
county attorney declared he would not
have anything more to doith the
matter and it is not known that Hag
erty could be prosecuted under condi
tions existing here.
In disgust , the county commission
ers withdrew the reward offered for
Hagerty , fearing that he might be
caught by his friends for the sake of
the reward and then turned loose In
court.
It is therefore not yet known what
action will be taken , even though he
has been found and will be arrested.
Hagerty is white-haired and eighty
years old.
