AGED YEGGMAN
FACES ANOTHER
REST IN PRISON
Ex-Convict With Many Aliases
; and Long Jail Record Sus
j. pected of Safe Blowing
Job at Melbourne, la. '
Pete A.- Hawkinson alias Frank
Harris alias Peter Hughes alias
Thomas Jones, 60 years old, ex-convict
find said to be the oldest of
professional yeggmen in the middle
west, was arrested Sunday night by
Detectives Dolan and Hagerman for
investigation in connection with a
robbery and safe-blowing "job" in
Melbourne, la., on the night of Au
gust 2, 1919.
Hawkinson was arrested upon de
scription sent out by Iowa authori
ties. The loot, taken from the safe
the night of the robbery, consisted
solely of liberty bonds, valued' at
$7,000. Detectives say that Haw
kinson had $1,200 .worth of bonds
on him when . arrested in a lower
Douglas street lodging house.
Refuses to Talk. '
r In line with the general charac
teristic of the professional crook,
Hawkinson denies the robbery and
refuses to . talk concerning his
whereabouts since his parole from
the Nebraska state, penitentiary a
few months ago. ,
Chief of Detectives Dunn made
efforts to get in touch with authori
ties at Melbourne, la., concerning
the robbery last August.
Hawkinson served six terms in
different penitentiaries throughout
the west since 1888. His criminal
record shows penal offences con
sisted of highway robberies and
burglaries. "
When he was 30 years old he was
sentenced to the Iowa state peniten
tiary for one year for burglary. Six
years later he served six months in
the same penitentiary for a similar
crime. In 1896 he was sentenced to
10 years in the Kansas state prison
for highway robbery and was parol
ed ill 1903.
. Changed Name Often,
Four years later Hawkinson, un
der the name of Thomas Jones,
was sentenced to five years in the
Nebraska penitentiary for safe
blowing. He was sent up ffom
Munroe, Neb., at tfiat time. '
In 1914. under the name of Frank
Harris, Hawkinson began a five
year term in the Oregon state
prison for burglary. He was pa
roled from that place on April 17,
1916, records show.
U !s ( last penitentiary sentence
was given him on November 12,
1917, at Wahoo, Neb., for breaking
and entering. He was given from
one to five years and was paroled
five months ago. . ' .

BOND ISSUE MAY
OE APPROVED AT
MEETINGTODAY
County Commissioners May
Wait, However, Until Defi
nite Estimate Made of
Damage to Records.
The board of county jcommis
sioners will meet today to pass
a resolution to issue bonds for the
repair of the court house and the
restoration of the destroyed records.
This meeting will be unique in
county history. Heretofore, all
bond issues have been made only
after a vote of the people. Under
the taw passed last week by the
special session of the legislature the
five county commissioners, by a
simple resolution can make legal
the expenditure of a vast sum of
money.
The estimate for,, the repair of
the court house is $542,000. To this
must be added that for the restora
tion of the records which will cost,
it is said, from $250,000 to $500,000.
The commissioners went over the
law yesterday with John P. Breen,
author and sponsor of the bill. They
are uncertain whether to actually
pass, the resolution tomorrow or
wait for definite estimates on the
cost of restoring the records.
The total expense to the county
of the court house fire will be near
$1,000,000, it is said.
