APPLEBY HELD
WITHOUT BOND
IN BANDIT CASE
Reif, Witness for State, Posi
tively Identifies Him as th3
Man Ha Saw Leap
from Roof.
Frank Adams, alias Johri Appleby,
alleged Malashock diamond bandit,
was held yesterday for the mur
der of Detective Frank Rooney and
remanded to jail without bond.
Detective Rooney was wounded in
a Run battle with bandits in a bun
galow at 3207 North Fourteenth ave
nue, four hours after the Malashock
jewelry store, Sixteenth and Dodge
erects, had been robbed of $20,000
it; diamonds and jewelry January 30,
1918. Rooney died the following
day.
The hearing was held in police
court before Judge Fitzgerald. It
ccupied Ui minuses.
Insist on Hearing.
The deiense played a tiump card
jy insisting on a preliminary hear
ing, it had been expected this for
mality would Ue waived.
Claude Keif. Dehuar hotel, was ihe
principal witness lor the state. He
lived next door to the bungalow
wiiere tne gun battie took place.
On the witness stand he positively
declared Appleby was a man he saw
leap from t.ie roof of the bungalow
while the battle wasin progress.
Ti.e defense failed to shake his
testimony. County Attorney Shot
well by direct examination brough)
out the statement that Keif had seen
Adams visit the bungalow the day
before the Malashock robbery.
Jacob Malashock, one of the pro
prietors of the looted store, said he
"thought" Adams was one of the
bandits. Nathan Horowich, a clerk
there, merely echoed his employer's
statement.
Appleby Not Called.
Adams, the accused bandit, fls-
tencd grimly to the testimony. Oc
casionally he would glance from the
witness to Judge Fitzgerald to see
the effect on the judge when the
vitnesses identified him as the rob
ber. He was not called to testify.
Chief of Police Eberstein was
called by the defense. His testi
mony related only to the method by
which Adams was captured. He
said the capture was effected by
means of a communication. He, did
not state from whom the "tip" was
received.
Adams was arrested a week ago at
Gordon, Wis. He fought extradi
tion. Beryl C. Kirk, "Big Wally" Mar
tin Sam Stone and Harry Williams,
all well-known criminals, are '"do
ing" time in the Nebraska state
prison on the same crime.
Police officers who participated in
the gun battle were called. They
described the battle jit the house.
None of them could Tay they saw a
man escape from the house.
Final trial for Adams will be given
some time during the spring term of
court.
Prefers to live Among
Strangers Than in
House of Relatives
Jennie Pecha, 16-year-old South
Side girl, expressed a preference i
juvenile court to live with strang
ers, although three married sisters,
her mother and stepfather, and her
own father, had homes for her.
She charged her stepfather with
unkind treatment and said she was
willing to live with her natural
father, whose lack of proper home
surroundings were' not approved
by the juvenile court.
Two sisters of the girl quarreled
in court as to which lived nearer to
the girl's employment in a packing
house.
The girl was insistent that her
own welfare would be better served
if she abided in the house of ,
strangers.

tion for the extension of the aerial

McKenna Describes
How Auto Bandits
Do Their Hard Work
James McKenna. noted automo
bile thief, under arrest now in Oma
ha, has revealed some inside "dope"
about the methods of this gentry.
People who think their cars are
safe when they have a log chain
locked around the front wheel are
mistaken, he says. The up-to-date
auto thief carries under his coat a
na-r nf sneriallv made chilled steel
machinist's nippers. This is made
with a "fold in the two arms ot
the handles so that it can be folded
up and carried under 'the coat. These
ninners will cut through the links of
a heavy chain easily.
In the case V)f automobiles on
which the ignition is locked by a
key, a piece of fine Wire is inserted
in the keyhole and thus the ignition
is turned on. I
KEEP MFEJIOhlE
AND WORK,' JUDGE
TfiOUNHDEPtS
Wife Should Care for Children,
Court Rules in Hearing Case
Against Lewis Mandle
in District Court.
Judge Troup in juvenile court yes
terday disposed of a delinquency
case in an unusual manner by order
ing that Lewis Mandle, 1519 North
Twenty-fourth street, shall immedi
ately take charge of his restaurant
business and permit his wife to prop
erly care for her children.
"You are not doing the father's
part. You should 'either sell the res
taurant or keep it yourself. Your
wife- belongs in hei home and she
pshould be given an opportunity to
take care of her children, was the
rebuke administered by the judge to
Mandle. The court added that Man
dle is capitalizing his wife's ability
as a cook merely to make money at
the expense of his children's welfare.
A volunteer juvenile court worker
asked the court for a complaint
forthwith, charging Mandle with
aiding and abetting in the delin
quency of his son, Philip, whose
case before the judge developed into
the situation which involved the
father.
Philip, who is 14. has been selling
newspapers since he was 8 years.
He was credited with general good
deportment, and it was added that
he needed a "boy's chance." The
mother also was recommended.
"There's the trouble: No mother
in the home," added the judge
The father is a painter and paper
hanger, but he promised to try his
hand as chef in the little restaurant
which his wife has been operating.

practicability, with many novel de

and the Clouded Suits are dominat
ing the new season's styles.
The Box Coat Suit owes its won
derful popularity to the slender,
youthful lines it gives the wearer;
and the doused Suit Jacket com
ing well down below the waist line
and falling over a hand In braid or

long skirt, is a very strong feature.
