THEFT OF FIFTY CENTS TO
COST FORTUNE AT TRIAL
'Looks Like (Joins After Mosquito
with Trip Hammer," Says
Lawyer.
CHICAGO. April . If John Manning
and John Hlgglns really did steal 60 cents
worth of brass from a West Side foun
dry, as Is charged, It will cost $600 to
prosecute them for It, according to the
calculations of Assistant State's Attorney
George Crane.
Under the recent decision of the Illinois
supreme court petit larceny cases must be
taken before the grand Jury and tried In
the criminal court of the county.
Hlgglns and Manning were held to tha
grand jury today In bonds of $1,600, which
they say' they cannot furnish.
Probably It will take $2S0 to. board tha
prisoners until their cases come up," ex
plained Mr. Crane. "It will take that
much more to try the case. It looks like
going after a- mosquito with a trip ham
mer." ENUMERATOR DIES FROM WORK
