CASADY RETURNS TO JAIL
linking Company Biponiibis for Bring
ing Him Back fram Kansas.
ATTRACTION OF A WOMAN HIS UNDOING
Friends Say the Young Man la Sot
Responsible and la More of a
Candidate for the Asylum
Than for a Prison.
Jamea N. Casady. Jr.. under Indictment
on a charge of embezzlement preferred by
the Scottlab Union Insurance company, ar
rived from Burlington, Kan., last evening
In custody of Deputy Sheriff Baker and la
now once more In tbe county Jail. It is
understood he will make no effort to secure
bn!l.
Casady's arrest was brought about by the
United States Fidelity and Casualty com
pany of .Baltimore, which was on bis bond
for 15,000. About a year ago the White
River Savings bank of Vermont Intrusted
$5,000 with Casady to bo plated on a mort-
eW " property In this vlclniey. Instead
of placing the money out on tbe mortgage
Casady is alleged to have converted it to
his own use. The bonding company, of
which D. O. Otis of this city Is the local
agent, reimbursed the bank.
Officers of the bonding company were In
consultation With County ' attorney Kill
pack about the time that Casady disap
peared from Council Bluffs, but as far as
known no rnVnnlalnt has been filed vet
against' Casady In connection with the al
leged embezzlement from the Vermont bank,
although his arrest was brought about by
the bonding company.
It la said that Casady was Infatuated
with a young woman who formerly lived
j in this city, hut recently moved to Bur
i llngton, Kan., and that this fact was known
to the bonding company1, detectives.
It
was learned that Casady had been In Col
orado and he was traced from there to
Kansas, where his arrest followed.
Casady, when seen at the county Jail last
evening, declined to discuss his troubles,
but was willing to talk about anything else.
Friends of the young man insist that he is
not mentally responsible, and that in place
of being sent to the penitentiary he ought
to be committed to the Insane Asylum. '

Of the children In thi, district between
th age of T and 14 year, only forty

Some had valid reason for not going to
reboot, as, for Instance, of this number
twelve were feeble minded. Others were
prevented by sickness from attending and
In but few rases the children stayed away

parents required them to work.
With an enrollment of 4.C97 In the sev.
eral schools of the city as compared with

manner by the Indian Territory delegates,
who originally secured It, adoption on tne
ground that men of high character have
Indian blood in their veins. The delegates
who opposed the amendment, especially
those from the southern Jurisdictions, ex
pressed the fear that If adopted It would
prove the opening wedge which might
