TWO WERE ARRESTED

CHARGED WITH THE ANN ARBOR SUNDAY MYSTERY

The Assaulter of Krueger Arrested and Also Another Man Charged with Robbing Him.

Thomas Hession is in jail charged with an assault with intent to do great bodily harm on Charles Krueger last Sunday. It will be remembered that Krueger, who is employed as a section hand on the Michigan Central, was found lying unconscious on Catherine st. , just back of Pollhemus' barn with two cuts on the back of the head and a bruised mouth. It is stated that there are three witnesses to the assault and that Krueger accused Hessions of lobbing him and that the latter hit him two blows and fled. Hessions left the city but returned Wednesday and was arrested at his home that evening by Undersheriff Gillen and Officer Isbell. He was arraigned before Justice Duffy this morning and his examination fixed for next Tuesday. He was taken back to jail in default of $200 bail

A second arrest was made Thursday afternoon in this case Henry Rahr being taken into custody on the charge of robbing Krueger of $8 in money, a $5 bill and three silver dollars.  All the parties are said to have been in a saloon, where the money was taken from Krueger's pocket.  Several saloons were complained of for keeping open on that day.  Krueger had been paid $21, but he claimed only to have had the $8, when robbed. It was in the alley that Hessions was charged by Krueger with the robbery.  He called upon a passing motorman to search him, but the motorman declined to interfere and Hessions shortly afterwards used his fists.

Krueger, when in the justice's office this morning, complained of feeling dizzy and was not able to tell an exceedingly well connected story.
