THE BEE: OMAHA, TUESDAY, JULY' 29, 1919.
BENNETT HELD,
CHARGED WITH
MURDER INTENT
Wife or Wounded Man Agrees
to Remain in Jail as State
Witness Until
Trial.
Roy Bennett was charged yester
day with shooting with intent to
murder Charles Mendenhall after the
man had been lured to the vicinity of
the Droge elevator Friday night.
Bennett was arraigned in police
court and his bond fixed at $1,500,
pending his hearing August 1.
Mrs.' Agnes Mendenhall was
brought from county jail with Ben
nett, but although no charge has
been filed against her she told As
sistant County Attorney Northrup
she would not object to remaining
in jail as a witness.
Bennett appeared to be confused,
and offered no plea when the charge
of shooting with intent to murder
Mendenhall was read to him.
Assistant County Attorney North
rup says he has signed statements by
Bennett and Mrs. Mendenhall in
which both admit that they have
been maintaining improper relations.
Both the man and the woman have
made numerous and conflicting
statements concerning the shooting
and the conditions that led to the
alleged attempted murder, officials
say.
The assistant county attorney
visited Mendenhall at the Edmund
son hospital yesterday in the hope
that Mendenhall could give some
cine to the identity of the woman
who called him on the telephone and
made the appointment for him to
meet his wife, and which Mrs. Men-,
denhall tried to prevent, going to the
home of Detective T. F. Callighan
an hour before the shooting and urg
ing Callnghan to take measures to
protect Mendenhall.
The plea that sent the man to the
murder tryst was that Mrs. Menden-
hall was going- to the home of her
parents in Nebraska and it would be
his last chance to see her. Menden
hall was unable to give any descrip
tion of the man who shot him, only
declaring that two men rose up from
the weeds near a telephone pole and
one of them pressed the weapon
against his breast and fired and both
men ran away as he fell.
In a sound amplfier invented by a
California scientist the fall of a
feather makes a noise like a wrest
ler thrown upon a mat.

"PHOTO -PIAY OFFERING J FOR TODAY"
mHE GREAT GAMBLE," the
I most thrilling serial that as
yet been produced, is going
to appear at twelve of the theaters
in this city. Rodger Morton, strug
gled for years on a mine. He had
a wife and two lovely babies, which
made him put up with terrible hard
ships,. Just as success was in sight
his romance was shattered. His
wife, with one of the children, bad
gone away with a gentlemanly
scoundrel. Just a short note of
goodbye stunned Morton, when a
miner came running in to tell Mor
ton of a river tragedy. During the
night the river steamer had caught
on fire and Morton's wife and
daughter, and the man who had
broken up his home was also among
the missing. The next picture is
years after when we see Morton's
progress. The two leading charac
ters in this Pathe serial are Charles
Hutchison and Anne Luther.
Rialto "Stolen Orders," pre
sented by A. H. Blank, is a thrill
ing naval melodrama which grips
you, when you can see how easily
a whole nation can be given away
by a woman, who has huge gamb
ling debts, and who would do any
thing to get them paid off rather
than her admiral husband should
find out. We have the great naval
fleet going out to sea with the or
ders and it is very impressive. We
have a dirigible and a fight in the
air and we have a rescue from the
sea by an hydroplane. An excellent
thrilling story, wonderful scenes;
continuity of story good and good
direction.
Strand"Bill Apperson's Boy,"
is full of pathos, a story that any
one could enjoy. It is full of inci
dents, very touching, beautifully
told and well directed. The sup
port to Jack Pickford is excellent.

The exteriors, location and interi

direction of the picture is good.

good.

screen star, ovho has won a host of
admirers asxa Broadway stage star,
is being seen at the Empress in his
latest comedy drama, "In His

star of the production but is the
author of the story. It is a story of
twin brothers alike in feature and
general appearance but as far as
the poles asunder in personalities.

Nebraska Man's Case
Baffles Medical
Science of the West
Dale C. Lantz, a young Buffalo
county farmer, formerly well
known in athletic circles of the
state and recently discharged from
the army aviation service, is dying
of an affliction which is baffling the
medical science of the west.
Though apparently in splendid
physical condition, Mr. Lantz
coughs up from a teanspoon to a
cup of blood a day, and despite his
well-muscled body and , cheerful
spirits, physicians have declared his
time to enjoy life and good health
has been estimated. ' Specialists
who have examined the patient con
sider the man s condition one ot
the wbnder of the day.
He was a visitor in Omaha wes
terday and consulted a well known
specialist. He announced before
leaving the city that he would act
upon advice and instruct himself
to the care of a Kearney physician
who has just returned from over
seas. Accident Caused by Auto
On Wrong Side of Street
J. W. Snyder, 4517 South Twenty
second street, sustained a five-inch
cut under his right ear yesterday
afternoon in an auto accident at
Thirteenth and Canton streets.
Mrs. Snyder was driving an auto
mobile south on Thirteenth street
with Mr. Snyder as a passenger.
An automobile, license No. 16932,
driving north on the wrong side of
the street, forced Mrs. Snyder to
drive over the curb and strike a
oost. Snyder was cut by glass
from the broken windshield of his
car.
The driver of the other car pro
ceeded, according to the police re
port, without finding out whether
anyone had been hurt or not.
Snyder was attended at Central
police station and taken home.

WHEEL TAX LEVY
MISUSED, AUTO
OWNERS CHARGE
Threatened With Injunction,
City Council Decides to
Spend Taxes According
to Ordinance.
Charges of misappropriation of
the wheel tax fund were made
against the city council yesterday by
members of the Automobile "club
and Chamber of Commerce, follow
ing up a letter written recently de
manding that the wheel tax fund of
$40,000 be used as provided in the
ordinance. At the end of the argu
ment the council voted to place the
wheel tax fund in the departments
that the ordinance requires.
F. L. Nesbit declared that unless
the city council agreed to devote
this fund to the legitimate purposes
for which it was levied an injunction
would be secured to prevent its use
anywhere else.
It was charged that the fund is
being used in the payment of gen
eral expenses of the city and this
was admitted by the commission
ers after an argument.
"The ordinance specifically states
that this fund is to be used, 60
per cent for the repair, of streets
and 40 per cent for the repair of
boulevards and that it is to be in
addition to the regular appropria
tions for these two departments,"
said C. A. Grimmell.
Grand Jury Indicts

Thomas Fitzgerald, confessed mur
derer of 6-year-old Janet Wilkin

Winder in the criminal court, charg
ing Fitzgerald with the murder and
asking for a speedy trial.
Assistant State's Attorney James
O'Brien said that as soon as coun
sel could be obtained for Fitz
gerald "we will be ready to try him."
As yet no lawyer has offered his
services to the slayer.
Fitzgerald yesterday morning
signed a written confession that he
had strangled Janet, a neighbor's
child, to death last Tuesday. The
body was recovered from a coal pile
in the basement of the apartment in
which Fitzgerald lived.

PI
ARMY SALMON IS
FOUND FIT FOR
SALE ON MARKET
850,000 Cans iof Fish Con
demned by War Department
Found in Good Condition
by Omahan.
M. B. Newman, president of the
Newman Brokerage company, of
this city, who was authorized by
Quartermaster General Rogers to
inspect and determine whether the
850,000 cans of pink and red salmon,
in storage in a government ware
house here, was fit for human con
sumption, has reported the salmon
in good condition and as a conse
quence has effected a saving of many
thousands of dollars to the govern
ment The entire stock of salmon in
question was examined by Mr. New
man in company with several inter
ested individuals yesterday.
An acute shortage of this com
modity exists in this section of the
country at present and efforts are
being put forth by Mr. Newman to
obtain the government's consent to
the sale and distribution of the sal
mon in Omaha and adjacent terri
tory. Wholesale grocers have offered to
take over the entire stock at a sub
stantial profit to the government.
Following a report that the 1918
pack, from which the salmon in
storage here was taken, was unfit
for consumption, the War depart
ment decided to return the entire
stock to the packers from whom it
was purchased. The return was to be
made through the pure food service,
which was to destroy the con
demned salmon.
Mr. Newman interfered and en
listed the aid of Representative Jef
feris after he had learned of the gov
ernment's intention. Mr. Newman's
appointment as examiner of the
stock came as the result of a con
ference between Mr. Jefferis, E. C.
Morse acting director of sales for
the War department, and Congress
man Reavis, chairman of the sub
committee of the special committee
now investigating the War depart
ment. As the return of the salmon would
have involved a great deal of trou
ble and probably some financial loss
to the government. Mr. Newman's
action has saved the government
this trouble and enables it to sell at
a profit the stock which originally
it would have been forced to dispose
of at a small loss.
Printer Fined, Though
Testimony Shows He
Hasn't Tasted Liquor
Fred J- Sullivan, a printer, was
fined yesterday in police court
on a charge of being drunk, though
he and his relatives allege he has
not tasted intoxicating liquor for
four years. The conviction was made
by Acting Police Judge Patrick on
the unsupported testimony of State
Agent Samardick.,
Samardick said he saw Sullivan
staggering up the hill toward his
home, Sixty-eighfh street and May
berry avenue, Saturday afternoon.
Sullivan, after being arrested, re
fused to accept his liberty on bonds
offered by relatives. He said he was
not drunk and would be recognizing
the charge if released on bond.
He refused also to pay the fine of
$10 imposed by Judge Patrick. He
is employed by the beacon Press.
