Kraus Sentenced to 18 Months in Penitentiary for Burglary BEANS PROVE DOWNFALL 21 Hours After Complaint Is Filed, Man Is Arrested and Sentenced The wheels of justice moved rapid- ly in Burleigh county yesterday and: as & result within just 21 hours from the time Dan Hein, farmer living north of Wing, made a complaint to State’s Attorney F, E. McCurdy’ that someone had broken into his granary and stolen a quantity of wheat, th mah suspected of the theft had been arrested, waived examination in jus- tice court, pleaded guilty to a charge of burglary in district court and was sentenced by Judge Fred Jansonius to 18 months in the state peniten- tiary. The confessed thief is J. J. Graus, who also lives in the vicinity of Wing. As a result of the peevliar evidence against Kraus, which caused him to plead guilty without any hesitancy, there may be an increased demand for red beans in this vicii ~ Mr. Heinf'who served on the jury there in December, heard several cases of al- leged theft of grain tried in district court. While at his home on a short recess he told his wife abeut the great amount of ee: stealing going on and suggested that she mark, in some manner, a quantity of wheat which they had in a granary about three-quarters of a mile from their house. Consequently she poured sev+ eral quarts of red beans over thé top of the grain in the bin. Beans Mixed With Grain When Mr. Hein returned home af- ter court recessed, he visited the granary to gee if any‘of his wheat had been disturbed and found that it had not. However, to make the marking doubly sure, he thoroughly mixed the beans in with the wheat. A eek or jater, upon another visit to the granary, he found that it had been broken into in the mean- time and a quantity of the wheat had been removed. x , Telenhoning the elevators at var- ious places, Mr. Hein; eabablished the: fact that a small truck load of his particular kind ;-of “wheat had sold at the Denhoff elevator onl: day 0. two before Kraus, who lived near the Hein farm. The wheat had been taken to the eleva: tor in a rebuilt Ford truck, very sim: ilar to one which Mr. Kraus wai known to possess, ‘ Samples Are Identical Mr. Hein went to the elevator im- ately and was shown the wheat which had been purchased from M: A close examination reveal- ed the presence of the red beans in the grain ond a sample of the grain compared identically with a sample taken from Mr. Hein’s granary—-red | and swore out the complaint. Deputy Sheriff Ted Hedstrom went to the Kraus home yesterday morning and arrested Kraus, arriving in Bismarck with his prisoner about noon, ly after the noon hour Kraus was arraigned before Justice-uf the Peace R. H. Crane, where he waived ex: ination and signified his plead g' flames! sentence. Later in was taken before and was sentenced. Kraus admitted to court officials that he had previously been in court, having been convicted in jus! court at Denhoff some time ago on a charge of stealing turkeys. He ha: a wife and two children.
