' After Judge Held Him
Under $5)000 Bond;
" v
Folice Commissioner Ringer and
Chief of Police Eberstein released
William J. McKenna and allowed
liim to go free in spite of tjie fact
that the police judge had bound him
over to the district court under
... $5,000 bond, the latter testified at
the trial of Maurice Katleman in
district court yesterday.
Katleman 'is charsed with aiding
and abettng McKenna and L. C.
Jones ii the stealing of automobiles.
When Ringer and Eberstein re
leased McKenna he had been ar
rested several times on the charge
of stealing automobiles.
Assistant County Attorney Sla
baugh slated that he knows of no
law or ordinance allowing the po
lice commissioner or chief of police
to- release a prisoner after he has
been placed under bond for trial in
the higher court.
Ure Made Investigation.
City Commissioner Ure made an
investigation several weeks ago into
the disappearance of a number of
prisoners after they were held by
the 'police judge. McKenna was one
of them. Commissioner Ringer at
that time declined to state how Mc
Kenna gained his liberty.
McKenna was grilled in a search
ing examination ana cross-examina
tion on the witness stand. His lite
for the last 10 years was reviewed
by Attorney Ben Baker for Katle
man. , The theft of one Buick and two
Oakland cars in September, 1918, he
has confessed to. Under examina
tion by Attorney Bake"? he admitted
- that he was arretsed for stealing a
Ford some time in October. He was
released under $750 bond then.
While out on this bond he was ar
rested for stealing a Maxwell. It
. was' then that he was bound over
under a $5,000 bond.
"How long were you in jail under
that bond?" asked Mr. Baker.
"About two weeks," replied McKenna.
"Do you know who released you?
. "I do."
"Who was it?"
Names Chief Eberstein.
' "Chief Eberstein."
"Did Mr. Eberstein require any
bond from you? '
"Not that I know of."
"You made an aflidavit, didn't
you?"
"Yes, sir."
"Where was that made?"
"In Mr. Eberstein's office?"
"Who took youip there?"
"Chief of Detecives Briggs."
4:Who told you you were free after
you had signed the affidavit?"
"No one. I just judged from the
conversation that I could go"
"At whose request did you sign
the affidavit?"
"Mr. Ringer's -and Mr. Eber
steili's." , ,
"Were you arrested after that?
"Yes "
"What for?"
"Stealing a car belonging to Mr.
" Judson."
"What became of that car?
"I never saw the car."
j.
no rromises mauc.
"When you made the affidavit ditl
linger or Eberstein promise you
vcur freedom?"
. "No, sir."
"They just let you go?"
"Yes."
"You didn't agree to testify
against Katleman?"
,"I knew I'd be a witness. I don't
-T;ire whether Katleman s convicted
O'- not. I'm here to testify to the
truth." ' '
Lovell C. Jones, partner of Mc
Kenna in stealing automobiles, was
' put on the witness stand by the state
after McKenna had. testified for six
hours. He told of alleged dealings
with the "men higher up," who, he
taid, were Katleman and "Red"
Iveal of Peru. He said he went into
Maurice ' Katlcman's store, the
Washington Shirt , company, Six
teenth and Farnam streets, the mid
dle of September, 1918, to try to
dispose of a Buick roadster that he
nr.d McKenna had taken from
bhashay's roadhousc in East Omaha.
Katleman told me to come back
in a day or two," he testified. "He
said 'Red' Neal would be in and he
might be able to dispose of it."
He then detailed the alleged move
ments of the two thieves and Katle
man and Neal which ended, accord
ing to his testimony, when Katle
man and Neal brought two men by
the name of Clark, purporting to
come from Missouri, out to the
cache in East Omaha. There the
car was sold for $75, he said, on
condition that McKenna and Jones
would deliver it at the end of the
cavle at Albright
