Three Mi-ii Allr-Kcit to Hnic Operated
Uxtcitfilvrly In I lie nnnterit
1'nrt nf the
State.
The federal authorities of lena are going
to have a whack at the Vogcl brothers and
Frank Smith , the three men who were ar
rested In Chicago a few days ago for using
the mails to perpetrate n green goods
an Indie. The men were nrrcsted In Chicago
by Deputy Untied State ? Marshal Richards ,
Postofllco Inspector Mercer and Deputy
United States Marshal Gray. Their ball was
fixed at $25,000 , nnJ It was roon discovered
that their friends were making arrangements
to glvo the required ball and a plan wao
put In operation to prevent them from get
ting out of custody.
Evidence secured by Poitofrica Inspector
Mercer showed that the men had been
operating extensively In this part ot the
country. The Iowa suckers had been In
veigled Into the green goods net and the
grand Jury In rjy.'lon was given the evidence
which warranted an Indictment , which was
returned. The Indictments charged the trio
with causing certain fraudulent documents to
bo delivered through the malls to parties
In Iowa. The case was docketed by Judge
Woolwii rn Thursday , nnd on Friday when
the men nppcarcd In Chicago and gave the
required $25,000 bond they were at once rc-
nrrcsted on warrants from the Iowa branch
of the federal court , and the prisoners will
bo brought to this city for a hearing. H
was expected that they would arrive yester
day , but for some reason the officials failed
to make the. connection planned on , nnd will
probably reach the city today. Judge "VV'ool-
scn has fixed the bondi of the men at $15,000
each and that amount will have to be put
up before the men can again regain their
liberty.
! II. HALL HI.OOMS AS A LAAVYCIl.
CoiiiluctH Until .Mili-N of HtH CIIHC ivltli
Marked AMllty.
William Hall , In whose possession a part
of $400 worth of household goods- stolen
from Klmball Bros , was found , was In Jus
tice Cook's court yesterday afternoon for
the purpose of proving his claim that the
goods-found rightfully belonged to hfm by
reason of original purchase. The goods were
stored In Klmball Bros. ' factory four years
ago and were stolen ono night and so suc
cessfully concealed that no traces of them
could bo discovered until a few weeks ago ,
when a search warrant revealed the presence
of a large- part of them In the homo of Hall
at 2013 South Thirteenth street. The stat
ute of limitation prevented the prosecution
of Hall upon the charge of burglary.
Among the goods recovered were a set of
drawing Instruments and four silver table
spoons and a silver butter knife. Hall de
nied all knowledge of the burglary , and
claimed without hesitancy that the spoons
belonged to him , and began an action for
their recovery. The case occupied a greater
part of the afternoon , and also a part of
the time of several peace officers. C. E. Klm
ball was represented by his brother , a young
attorney who has been In the city but a few
months. Hall was his own attorney , and he
distinguished himself In that line as he has
In several others. Mrs. Klmball was called
to the stand to Identify the butter knife and
the spoons. This she did positively and
without hesitancy. The silverware was con
siderably worn , but It had been In her fam
ily several years prior to the time It was
stolen nnd s-he was very familiar with , the
engraving and other marks. Klmball also
Identified the drawing Instruments as being
a set given htm by his father In a box made
by his father. The Instruments were hand
'made and easily Ident'fled. When the Kim-
balls' testimony was concluded It looked like
a case , of positive Identification. Hall's meth-
qds of cross-examination were novel and
somewhat forcible.
"Where did you get my woman's spoons ? "
he asked of Mrs. Klmball nonchalantly , while
a smile spread over his countenance as
realized tbe Imputation h's question carried.
In an Instant he modified It by apologetically
remarking : "I shouldn't think you'd want
them old spoons now , anyway. "
Ho Ins'sted on Mr ? . Klmball minutely de
scribing the spoons while he held them In
his hands and with Indolent curiosity noted
the Identification marks as eho mentioned
them. When the testimony for the Kim-
balls was finished he called Mrs. Hall to the
stand. The attorney for the Klmballs asked
the court to exclude Mr. Hall while his wife
testified , as Hall had declared that ho would
go on the stand himself when he got through
with his wife. The court was about to com
ply with tlio request when Hall dryly re
marked :
"Ain't I an attorney In this case , Mr.
Court ? "
' The court was compelled to admit that
Hall was acting In that capacity.
"You can't ' exclude one attorney unless
you exclude the other , " said Hall ,
By this time there was a good deal of feelIng -
Ing between Hall and the attorney , and
Hall Informed the court that ho would be
very happy to be closeted for about five
minutes with the opposing counsel , and he
would endeavor to teach him something
about the manly art of self-defense as well
as law. The court would not consent to
tl.ls , and Mrs."Hall was excluded , while
Hall took the stand as a witness. The
court conducted the direct examination.
Hall testified that ho and his wlfo pur
chased the silver spoons somewhere In
3irnlia about five years ago , and that the
Juttcr knife had been given to his wlfo
jy a woman. When asked If tbeso were
: he spoons he replied :
"If them's the spoons the officers took
from my house they are mine. "
"Do you recognize them aa yours ? "
"Naw , I don't know that I do. Only If
them's the spoons Albert ! took , they're
mine. "
"What makes you think so ? "
"Because we ain't got no others , "
Under cross-examination Hall became
very restless , and It was with difficulty that
10 could restrain himself from flyim ? at
the throat of the opposing counsel. When
asked how ho came Into the possession
of the case of Instruments , he said ho
picked them up on the street corner about
a year ago.
"Didn't you tell Mr. Klmball nnd my
self that you bought that box ? " asked the
counsel.
"You're a liar , " shouted Hall , as ho
sprang from the chair and attempted to
strike the attorney. A dozen hands were
aid upon htm and ho wan prevented doing
the lawyer any harm. "You can call mo
a thief , but If you try to make mo out a
liar I'll smash you , " ho muttered as ho
resumed his scat. The prospect for a general -
oral fight seemed so good that a number
of the spectators made a hasty exit from
ho room , Hall was warned by the court
Imt ho would bo sent to Jail for contempt
If he repeated his offensive remarks. Ho
waa still very angry when ho left the stand ,
and a moment later he crossed the little
room with quirk strides to where Attor
ney Klmball was sitting , muttering : "Be-
levo I'll smash you anyhow. " Again he
was prevented and again the court threat
ened him with the county Jail.
"Ho had no right to ask that question.
H Is not cross-examination , because there
was no foundation laid for It In the direct
examination , " tald Hall. The point was
alscd too late for the court to rule upon
t , and the examination of Mra. Hall waa
commenced. Her testimony was a counter
part of that of her husband , only she could
not tell what street In Omaha the Jeweler
was located who sold them the spoons ,
Hull's examination ot his wife was very
full and also very shrewd , and while she
nag giving her testimony she took special
lellght In looking daggers at Mrs , Klmball ,
who had returned to the court room after
bo Incipient riot had been quellol ,
After the court had delivered a lecture
upon the necessity ot observing good order
nnd restraining turbulent tempers , ho or
dered the drawing Instruments , which had
became rusted and worthless , to bo re
turned to Mr. Klmball , and announced thnt
ho would decide upon the ownership of the
spoons on Monday next.

Oh ! What a Blessing is a Bicycle !

Aside from the pleasure there Is in bicycling , It is the most economic method of trans
portation that one can have. Who would exchange a free , open-air spin on a wheel for a
ride in a stuffy , iumburing street cnr ? All shades and conditions of men and women arc
now looking luto'the utility of the bicycle. Don't overlook the Wellington and the Ham
ilton. They arc the best.
