Confesses He Stole 3 Horses

CONFESSES HE STOLE 3 HORSES

Ernest Forsyth Wilts in the Sweat Box

KILL HIM!  LYNCH HIM!

Is What a Few of the 500 Men Yelled When He was Brought Here

"Lynch him! Kill him!" yelled a few of the 500 men gathered at the corner of Main and Huron streets Saturday evening as the car arrived upon which Horse Thief Ernest Forsyth was being brought from Ypsilanti to this city.

The news of Forsyth's arrest had quickly spread and an immense reception committee awaited him, but no trouble was experienced in landing him in jail.

The manner in which Forsyth was arrested is told in the Ypsilanti columns of this paper.

Sunday Sheriff Gillen put Forsyth in the sweat box and the young Pittsfield farmer confessed to stealing the Brokaw horse, the Schneider horse and the Nixon horse.

The two latter animals have been recovered and Sheriff Gillen asked what had become of the Brokaw horse. Forsyth finally stated that he had sold it at Taylor Center, near Romulus, for $40, and Fred Gillen went there yesterday morning to recover it if possible.

"What did you steal those horses for?" asked Mr. Gillen.

"I don't know," was the reply.

"You did it to get money, didn't you'?"

"I suppose so."

"That's all-back to the cell," said the sheriff.

Forsyth was brought before the justice yesterday afternoon.
