BARON YONJVERNER BACK
Titled Prisoner Returned to Ne
braska Prison.
WAS MAKING HIS GETAWAY
lint Into Altercation with Cashier
of Hotel nt Woodstock, III., from
Which Plnce Ilf Was
IlrnnKht Dnck.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
LINCOLN, Auk. 12.-Baron Von War
ner has returned to take up his abode
at the Hotel de Kenton at Lancaster
f'om which place he slipped away about
throe months ago. Warden Kenton re
turned with his titled and aristocratic
prisoner this forenoon from Woodstock,
111., and the Baron Is once more behind
the bars, where he will probably be de
nied the liberties he formerly enjoyed
beforo leaving, while under the care of
Chaplain Johnson, whom he had accom
panied to the latter's home In Tecumseh
to furnish music to the chaplain's guests.
The baron Is a very talented musician
and was a valuable adjunct to the prison
band and they are all pleased to see him
return.
Warden Kenton says that he has dis
covered that the baron Is an old of
fender, this being; the sixth time that
he has been In durance vile. After get
ting away from Tecumseh, Baron Von
Went used automobiles foe- the most
part ," making his get-a-way. He would
chart" a machine, ride fifty miles or
more to some town and would enter a
store, hotel or other establishment and
retire by the way of the back door
leaving the chaufeur to wait for his
money. He would then hire another ma
chine and make another play at the
same game. In this way he reached
Woodstock, near Chicago, and probably
would have been successful In getting
away had he not got Into trouble with
the cashjer at a hotel. He was arrested
by the sheriff, who after taking him to
his office noticed his resemblance to a
picture he had hanging In his office
of a prUoner wanted at the Nebraska
penitentiary.
