He Himselt Arrested for As- saulting and Robbing Mrs, Hubbard, Snodderly is Set ,Free and Pierson Takes His Place, Nearly all of Saturday was taken up by Judge Aylesworth in hearing evidence in the case of Jim Snodderly, charged with assaulting and robbing Mrs. Hubbard on Monday evening of last week. John Pierson, who ‘‘gave away' Snodderly, or who pretended to, seems to have made serry work of it. His story as told on the stand was that he ovgrheard Snodderly talking to Godfrey in front of the ‘‘Blue Jay,” and heard Snodderly say, “I'm bound to have it if there is five dollars in it.” Pierson, after buying some bread and tea, started homeward up Madison, and on nearing Pierce street saw Snodderly stanling talking with another fellow. As he turned the corner into Pierce street he heard the other fellow tell Snodderly, ‘‘Well, if that is what you are going into I don't want anything to do with it. I wouldn’t go into it for a thousand dol- lars. Snodderly then said, ‘““There’s the lnd{ now.” Pierson saw the lady come along and Snodderly follow her, and he ful‘fowed after them, stopping at the corner to drop his bundles over the fence into the yard. Pierson watched Snodderly until he saw him knock the woman down, snatch her money and run, Such was the story told by Pierson. He did not tell any of this until after the reward of $50 was offered, and everything points to the fact that it was the hope of reward that induced him to make up a yarn to convict Snodderly. A young fellow named Allan testi- fied that Pierson told him that if he would go down to the police head- narters and swear against SnOdd",ljy that he could get half of the reward, and that ‘‘twenty-five dollars is s pretty big thing now-a-days.” Allen told him he didn't know anything about the affair, and wouldn’t swear that he did. Godfrey admitted that he was with Snodderly on the night of the assault, but that he knew nothing about the | 8! affair. He met Snodderly at the “‘Blue Jay" saloon, but heard Snod- derly say nothing about the robbery. Heo made no such remark as that claimed to have been heard by Pier- son. He and Snodderly were together from about o'clock in the evening un- til nearly 1 o’clock, They were drink- ing, playing cards, etc., at different loons, Another bad foature to Pierson’s story is that Mrs. Hubbard did not take take tee route which [Pierson de- soribes, Instead of going on Pierce streot, where Pierson says he saw Snodt{nrly following her,, she went [ t up Broadway to Stutsman, and turoed straight up to her home, This gives Pierson the direct lie. In view of these facts it become ovident that there wak not enough proof that Snodderly committed the dnhrdl{‘ deed, and the court dis- charged him: Heis a hard citizen, but in this case ho seems to have been justly released. As to Pierson, it seems that he either put the job on Snodderly for the purpose of getting the $50 reward, or else for- the pur- pose of shielding himself or covering up some facts with which he was con- versant. Accordingly. after Snod- derly had been set free, a warrant wae issued for Pierson’s arrest, and he was locked up, not being able to give the $0600 bond required for his appear- ance, The authorites seem determined, if possible, to get at the bottom facts in this caso and bring the real offender to ;ultica. and the boldness and bru- trality of the crime arouses a general wish that the guilty party may get his just deserts, and that, too, right speedily. s DR WOMEN WILL BHOOT. Mrs, Crawford Blazes Away at Bur- glars—An Irate Lady Arms Her- self For ‘alk on Broadway. There has of late been so many deeds of deviltry committed here that the women are taking up armsin their own defense. At least three attempts have beon made during the past ten days to burglarize Mr, Orawford's, residence, He being away from home, his wife concluded that she must protect herself as best she could, and accordingly secured a revolver, and on the last of the three attempts shoused it, but with what results is not known as yet. She heard some one at work on the first floor, the noise being such as would naturally come from an at. tempt to turn the key with a pair of nippers, She wail until she was satisfied that burglars were thero at work and then she fired twice in rapid succession, both bullets going through the door. KFrom the sudden exclama tion and hasty exit from the yard she thought that she must have hit some- body, but no assurance has yet been found that such was really the case. The attempts to enter the house will probably now be suspended. Saturday evening a respectable lady while on her way to the store where she is sooustomed to purchase her grooceries, was rudely accosted on Broadway by two ruffians, Instead of fainting andJscreaming, she easily walked back to her home and armed herself with a revolver, and again came down Broadway, and as she step) into a store to make some purchases, she informed the merchant showed her valiant weapon of de- feose, and calmly remarked that she would hike to have those fellows in- insult her again that way, Some of these ruffians who roll up and down the streets insulting respec- table ladies will get a dose of lead from some irate and plucky woman, and, if so, 1t will serve as & quietus on # good many, Prohibition a Fallure, In opening my case I had intended to introduce witnesses first from Maine, but a recent letter from the Rev. Richard Cordley, of Emporia, Kansas, has led me to place him upon the stand. “Mr. Cordley, will you be good enough to state to the people of Towa what you know of the working of the prohibitory law in your state!” “The opponents of the law have made ita point to create the im- pression that the law is a failure. Every unfavorable report has been sent to the winds, and repeated over and over again. A newspaper re- orter goes into a Kansas town. e in taken in hand by the initiated and filled with beer and falsehoods. He reports ‘o his journal the next morning that “‘liquor is just as free in that town as everit was.” Whereas, if he had not been well known and well introduced, he would have gone home as dry as the western plains are said to be. A case of drunkenness is reported in a local paper--a solitary case, where before such things were of daily occurrence. It is copied every- where as ‘“‘one of the fruits of prohi- bition.” As a specimen of these manu- factured stories, a puper, usually con- sidered reliable, stated a short time since, that ‘40,000 people had re- moved from Kansas into Mi souri on account of the pas- sage of the prohibitory law” why they should leave Kansas, if the law was without effect, the paper did not stop to explain, but made the statement as 1f from actual knowl- edge. The fact is, nobody had left the state on this account, except a fow dealers who had taken their stock of liquor over the line into Missouri, For this Missouri has our sympathies, “ What is their luss is our gain.” But, Mr. Cordly, is there not some foundation for these reports? Yes, there is. In three or four of our larger towns it has been mostly ignored. Leavenworth voted heavily against the law, elected officials who were known to oppose it, and they havye so far evaded its provisions. The same is true of Atchison and one or two other newer towns, At Lawrence and Topeka there have been more ef- forts at Jenforcement, but not with marked success. The difficulty has been with witnesses and jurors. Some leading men, supposed to be honorable men, have advised witnesses and jurors to perjure themselves to defeat the law. Asa result of such teaching, men who have been seen drinking liquor will swear they did not know what 1t was they drank; and jurors in a perfectly plain case of uilt will vote to ‘‘acquit” and the jury disagrees. This thing will be reached after a while, The next movement will be to put a few of these perjurers in the penitentiary and this obstruction will be removed. These four towns are the best known of any in the state. Strangersalways visit them; newspapers always report them, and they are taken to represent the state. But they are not the state by any means. In the great body of the state the law is enforced as well as any one expected it would be.” hat war the effect of the effort to have the law declared unconstitutional? *‘During the several weeks this ques- tion was before the supreme court the saloons everywhere opened and boldly detied the law. They were sustained in this by the National Brewers' association, who were ready to spend any amount of money to break down the law, After the court had declared the law valid, it was no easy matter to upset the traffic which had taken advantage of the doubt.” How does the law work in your own town, Emporia? ‘‘Here it requived one prosecution after another until the saloons were closed. The most obstinate and wily dealer was convicted only a short time since. Most of the saloons were closed within a week after prosecutions com- menced. There is doubtless some se- cret selling here, but only the initia- ted know where.” Mr. Cordley’s evidence will be con- cluded in our next. L. W. TuLLeys. L N Arrest of a Train Kobber. Natlonal Amociated Press. 81, Louis, March 18—A special from Independence, Mo., says a tu- mult of excitement was occasioned this morning by the arrest of John Mott on the charge of complicity in the Ohiolsgo & Alton robbery at Blue Cat last September. Mott resides in the immediate vicinity of the robbe: and since that time has been telegrap) operator at Glendale, a short distance from Blue Cut. The case was worked up and the arrest made by United States Detective W. W. Gorham, who says he has itive proof of Mott's guilt. He K:: been working up the case for some time, and when a preliminary examination is had he says startling developments will re- sult. The public have long suspic- ioned Mott, but evidence could not be obtained which would warrant his arrest. Gorham is the detective who displayed such wonderful shrewdness in working the Waggoner murder case SUDDENLY SKIPPED. One of the Numerous Smith Family is Mysteriously Missed. The Proceeds from the Sale of a Pair of Mules Also Gone. A inan named Maxwell, who had a pair of mules for sale, found a cus- tomer for them last week, who was to pay him 8260 on delivery, Mr. Max- well brought the mules to Mason Wise's barn, and the purchaser was to get them of him there. A man named Frank Smith, who has served for some time as foreman of the barn, knew the circumstances, and when the purchaser came the owner of the mules was not on hand, and Smith took the $260and deliveredthe mules. Soon after receiving the money, Smith remarked that he had to go over to the bank, and stepping out, has failed to step in again. This waa on Saturday morning, and since that time no trace of him has been found. The idea of his having met with foul lay has nothing to sustam it, and gence the only apparent explanation for 8mith’s absence is that he has be- come so attached to the $2560 that he has eloped with it. Mr, Wise disclaims all responsibility in the matter, as he never has author- ized Smith to transact business for him, he having his money matters and books in the hands of another man. Smith’s duties were simply to look after the work about the barn, and to serve as foreman during Mr. Wise's absence, as on this occasion. Mr. Maxwell, who left the mules there, denies that he gave Smith any authority to receive the money for the mules should the purchaser come during his absence, 80 it seems that Smith took the money of his own ac- cord and has appropriated it to his own uses. A search is being made to ascertain his whereabouts, but thus far without success. Cattle Trouble in Buffalo. National Aseociated Pross Burrawo, N. Y., March' 18.—The street commissioner, with a posse of men, by order of the supreme court, repaired to the cattle barns of Farth- ing's distillery and turned loose 136 head, valued at $11,000. Subse- quently Farthing & Co. secured a re- plevin by giving a bond of $30,000, and the sheriff drove all the cattle back to the barns, where he will hold them three days pending further action of the courts. The people of East Buffalo are greatly excited over the matter, and held another indigna- tion meeting to-night. Lynched. Natlonal Asociated Prese. Pexsacora, Fla.,, March 18.—At Tampa a young Englishman named C. D. Owens assaulted a young lady and stabbed her nearly to death. o was captured and jailed, but taken out by a mob to a shade tree in the court yard, where the United States court was in session at tke time. The mayor and sheriff protested, and the military was brought out, but too latet Owens was & dead man. Owens was the exact image of Guiteau. Death of a Detective. National Associated Press 8r. Louis, March 18 —The death of Lathrobe Claiborne, son of Hon. N, C. Claiborne, which occurred on ths Indianapolis & St. Louis railroad Wednesday night, and which caused surprise because of his occupation, is explained. When killed he was serv- ing as a brakeman, It now appears that he was in the employ of a detec- tive firm of this city, and was acting as a brakeman in order to watch the course of certain officials, L ALY Killed His Stepmother.

Start- ling rumors ace afloat, that other Adrian capitalists and corporations have invested in theselfraudulent se curities, The Clarks still refuse to moke a complete statement, but say they have got all they want of it The records and other sources of in- formation are being thoroughly searched to find the full extent of Nairna' operations.
