Girl atnkra Complaint Ilrcaaac
lie Win Forced to Separate
Her front Vnr Itoll.
Martha Capaclus, aged 16 years, em
ployed In the glassware department of
the Woolworth 6 cents and 10 cents
stores, at Sixteenth and Douglas street,
filed a complaint In police court charg
ing Desmond Vanatta, assistant manager
of the establishment, with assault and
battery. Desmond was arrested a half
hour later on a warrant Issued by
Sophus Neblo, Jr., and served by detec
tives Dunn and Kennelly.
Tho Capaclus girl, who lives at 1617
Dodge street, has been an employe of tho
establishment since February, and stated
In court that she was sent Wednesday
afternoon by Vanatta to the basement to
4 procure some glass dishes. He followed
her, and, as tho two were searching
for the articles, asked for a kiss, and upon
being refused seized tho girt and holding
her arms, proceeded to take one anyway.
Upon returning to tho first floor Martha
told several companions of the happen
ing, and, on going home, related the oc
currence to her parents. According to
her statement she was given her time,
presumably because she had told of the
affair. The Capaclus girl worked from
8 In the morning till 6 at night with an1
hour for lunch at noon, and received the
sum of J1W for her toll. Vanatta stated
that he had been connected with his
firm for six years, holding down a re
sponsible position, and In all that time
no word of disparagement had been of
feted his employers by the people under
him. He declared the whole affair to be
a put up job to get revenge for having
dihehnrged the girl, who, he asserted, was
unable to look after her work on account
of the close proximity of the musical
departments, where the ragged refrains
succeeded In holding1 her attention to the
detriment of the business.
Four girls were brought from the store
and satd the Capaclus girl related the oc
currence to them Wednesday afternoon,
and also stated that at all times Van
natta had acted the "perfect gentleman'"
toward them.
In substantiation of his statement that
there was nothing to the story. Vanatta
produced Charley Schears, employed in
the basement at the time of the supposed
stolen kissing bee, who said that he was
near the pair the entire time they wero
Bcnrchlng for the glassware and saw no
such event.
Judge Foster was up a tree for a mo
ment as to what his decision should be,
ns Officer McQany. a neighbor of tho
Capaclus family, was very emphatic in
testifying to the girl's good character.
The verdict eventually was that, consider
ing tho seriousness of the chargo and the
lack of evidence, he could do naught but
discharge Vanatta. The girl's father
says ho intends to take the case to a
higher court. Vanatta is married and

rrom Davis. She said that th'j paper was
meant as a club to be held over O'Hara,
according to assurances given her. Later
Davis asked her to sign a second affi
davit against O'Hara, but upon advice
of Fred Mortimer, a lawyer friend of
Springfield, she declined to do bo.
"Why didn't he want you to sign it?"
Inquired Senator Ettelson.
"Because ha said that Davis might not
keep his promise to keep the affidavit
secret."
Throughout Miss Robinson, dressed In
a trim gray suit and frequently brushing
back the long green veil which fell over
hor pretty face, spoke In a clear, unhesi
tating voice.

"I wish emphatically to deny that thew
was any improper relations between my
self and Mr. O'Hara, or that that sub
ject waB even discussed." she kept re
peating between the Interrogations Of
Chairman Ettelson.
'Neither did Davis offer any money In
connection with my signing the affidavit.
Were you ever married?" asked tho
chairman.
'Yes," the -witness renllcd. "Mv hus-
band was Foster Shrlver of Springfield.

a member of the Vredenburgh party. Tho
special sys:
"She admitted acquaintance with
Thomas Vredenbaugh, and also admitted
the possibility that she might have been
in Chicago at the time in question.
" 'If I was in' Chicago at the time, how
ever,' said Mrs. Inbusch, M was staying
with friends and not at any hotel. . I
have nothing whatever to do with this
affair. I know'nothlng of It except what
I have read in the newspapers. I havo
never stayed at tho Hotel Sherman and
never visited there with Mr. Vredenburgh.
nor do I know Mr. O'Hara. I never knew
Maudo Robinson, nor have I, been in
Springfield in two years.
" 'I believe that the bringing of my
name Into this is part of a political con
spiracy against my father, just as the
charges are being used against Mr.
O'Hara by the saloon keepers and dlvo
keepers, who resent his investigation.' "
O'llnrn Tells Straight Story.
O'Hara at tho afternoon session told
of meeting Vredenburgh on the train
January 17. On the way to the dining
car Vredenburgh was accosted by Miss
Robinson, and Vredenburgh, having In
vited O'Hara to luncheon. Introduced him
to tho woman and asked her to Join
them at luncheon. His testimony was
a complete alibi for January 17 nfter
leaving tho Lamb's cafe. His actions an
tho ISth and 19th were similarly accounted
for.
