Earl Hayes, 1908 Burt street, ar raigned in police court on a charge of highway robbery in connection with the murder, April 28, of Samuel C. Smith, druggist of 221? Military avenue, is being held without bond. Judge Madden, ordered that Hayes be held until May 26, when he will get a preliminary hearing. Detectives Rich and Pzanowski be lieve that Hayes is one of the three bandits who held up Druggist Smith. They hold this belief despite the state ment in the prisoner's diary which records his presence the night of the murder at a dance in De Luxe hall. Diary is Alibi Book. Hayes has kept the diary ever since his oarole from the state penitentiary. he says, with the hope of establishing an alibi in the event of trouble with the police. In this instance Hayes stoutly protests his innocence. Hayes' record is against him, police say. He was one of a trio of auto bandits who terrorized Omaha sev eral years ago. But, his sponsors say, Hayes has been leading a model life since his release from the peniten tiary. Police got the tip which led to Hayes arrest trom Harold Desmond, who has confessed to thirty-seven burglaries and who is now awaiting trial in district court. Desmond says he was an intimate friend of Hayes, ,who frequently visited the formers room at .twenty first and Charles streets. Tracing the tracks of the "murder car." in which the man who killed Smith made his escape ,with his two cronies, is now the work ot detectives. The auto was found abandoned at Nineteenth and Izard streets, just a few blocks from Desmonds room, Story of Murder. S. C.
