Judge Ben Baker and Attorney
A. S. Ritchie, representing Morris
Katelman, Omaha business man,
and Fletcher Neal, Peru, Neb.,
farmer, respectively, argued Mon
day before the supreme court at
Lincoln an appeal from the Doug
las county district court, wh)ch last
summer sentenced the two men to
terms in the penitentiary for steal
ing automobiles.
-' Katelman and Neal were accused
by the Omaha police of being the
nigiier-ups m a gang ot car
thieves, which for months operated
in and about this city, exasperating
automobile owners and rendering
the local police department ridicu
lous. . "
The men were convicted on the
testimony of William McKenna and
L. C. Jones, who declared they had
delivered stolen cars to Katelman
and Neal pursuant to an alleged
promise of Commissioner Ringer
and Chief bberstein that they
would not be punished for their own
ottenses.
Accused Police Chief.
McKenn-i and Jones are serving
terms in the penitentiary, and Com
missioner Ringer and Chief Eber-
siem are saia tO De attempting to
obtain pardons for the prisoners.
On the eve of their departure for
the State orison. McKenna and
Jones accused Chief Eberstein of
violating his agreement with them.
McKenna quoted the police chief
ar saying he could not carry out
his agreement because he was
"atraid of The Bee."
Contrary to law and in disregard
of all rules and custom. McKpnna
and Jones were held prisoners at
tne city jail tor months afte they
were bound over for the. 'district
court, when they should have been
ii- the custody of the sheriff.
The prisoners were not sent to the
county iail until after they had testi
hed against Katelman and Neal.
McKenna was humored and mdulg
ed by Commissioner Ringer and
Chief Eebersteiirto the extent that
he was allowed to go to and from
the city jail at his own free will.
McKenna stole several automo
biles in the city while he was en
joying the liberty granted him by
the commissioner and chief of po
lice, according to the chief's own
statement.
Held Illegally In Jail.
Jones also was' granted hereto
fore unheard of privileges while he
was held illegally a prisoner at the
city jail. According to, his own
statement on the witness stand
Jones was given large quantities of
morphine four and five times a day
at the Women's Detention home.
Jones was a confessed drug addict,
and his vice; was encouraged by
Chief Eberstein all 4he time he was
in the , city jail, the prisoner as
serted. McKenna declared btfore ie went
to the penitentiary that he witnessed
a transaction between Detective
Jim Murphy and an automobile
thief in which the detective accepted
a bribe of $110 to allow the thief,
who was wanted in Omaha, to
escape. "
McKenna asserted IT? was sent to
a southern town in Nebraska to
identify the man who was wanted
to face , a number of charges of
stealing automobiles on the streets
of Omaha. .McKenna said he re
ported the natter to Chief Eber
stein upon his return and He was
told to keep quiet about it. The po
lice chief went to Lincoln and at
tempted to prevail on McKenna to
repudiate his charge against Detec
tive Murphy. McKenna refused to
comply with the request.
Murphy never was called on by
his superiors in the department for
an explanation, so fas as is knoyn.
