THE BEE:V OMAHA', SATURDAY, JANUARY 24. 1920. 7 OMAIIANS COULD NOT FORGE FINNS OUT OFST. PAUL Chief- Eberstein, Attorney . Slabaugh and Eight Wit : nesses Return Discour aged From "Alibi Town." rlMiroiiji'ily disgusted and dis couraged, Deputy, County Attorney Slabaugh, Chief of Police Eberstein , and eight other Omahans returned yesterday from St. Paul, Minn., where they have been since last' Monday in an attempt to extradite Thomas McKay, alias William Finn, and his brother, Mike Finn, charged with the robbery of the Farmers & Merchants bank at Benson of ap proximately $110,000, the morning of December 31. Governor Burn fjuist of Minnesota Thursday refused extradition. "It was the shabbiest treatment I ever heard of being given to one etate by' neighboring state," de clared Mr. Slabaugh." "Why, the whole proceedings in St PauT were like a farce.' Iroair inel There we had eight witnesses who positively identified the two Finns as two of the men who robbed the Benson bank. They picked the two Finns out from a crowd of 25 prisoners. "In the fare of this, the Finns have n alibi V They were at a dinner New Year's eve at the home of one of their relatives 1 Their relatives swear they were there I "Neighbors told us they were not there. But vrhen we asked them if they would ecme m and swear to it they were afraid, said it would cost them their lives. "Even the Pinkertons and the bankers' association didn't seem to work hard on the case. We were alone. The "Alibi 'City." "The 'alibi city.' That's what they call St Paul. It certainly is the truth. The gang of crook's there is encouraged to do their crookedness outside the state, in return for which they get protection by ahhis in St, Faul. "The easiest thing in the world is an alibi. Several ot the gang can commit a -rime in a distant place The rest stay home and establish the alibi. "But refusal to extradite on posi tive identification by no less than eight eye vvimesses is unprecedented in the history of the states. "They had 22 witnesses, taxi driv ers, cooks at the restaurant, wait Mother! Teach the Children Their Daily Health Duty You can't be too insistent! FEW children find pleasure in the things most vital to their physical comfort and health, so it rests with the watchful moth er to see that they are done. The child will be grateful in after years. Chief among the functions necessary to the upbuilding of the little body, so that it will not be a dyspeptic, constipated body when, it matures, is elimination regu larly every morning. If the moth er will be insistent a and allow - nothing to interfere with it, it will soon become a habit, a daily rou tine that will not be forgotten throughout life. There are times, however, when nature will not operate unaided. Then give Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, and the headaches, the biliousness, the torpor will quickly disappear. It acts gently and without griping, and as it contains no narcotics and is pleasant to the taste, it may be given to infants. Thousands of families have been regulated to healthy maturity with Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin. A bottle can be bought at any drug store. In a large family there is always someone who wouLi feel better for a dose of a good medicine like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. In spite of the fact that Dr. Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is the largest selling liquid laxative in the world, there being over 6 million bottles sold each year, many who need its' benefits have not yet used it. If you have not, send your name and address for a free trial bottle to Dr. W. B. Caldwell, 511 Washington Street, MonticeUo, Illinois. KaltUBuijl ers and s6 on who said they saw ,U.

"Permission of Governor Burn fnr 11 in (ill, additional affi davits within 30 days is a joke, too. In identifications affidavits are no good. Identifications must be by eye witnesses." Chief Fell Unconscious. Chief Eberstein was taken serious ly ill while in St. Paul. He and Mr. Slabaugh occupied twin beds in a large room at the hotel. Mr. Sla baugh awoke one night to see the chief lying on the floor unconscious and orrnaniner. He was suffering from an acute attack of indigestion. He recovered rapidly. ,m "Th"rhiVf todav exorcised his disgust with the proceedings at 6t Paul. "Chicken Shop" Witnesses. The alibi witnesses were chieflv taxi drivers and employes of a hang out conducted by the Finn brothers, called 'The Chicken Shop,'" said the chief. "I guess the governor wants me to bring up all Omaha to get the Finn boys. But it might be of no it a nnliri nf other cities have had the same trouble in attempting 1-. -..i -z . c to exirauue prisoners uui ui ou Paul."
