STANLEY THOMPSON LODGED IN JAIL

Stanley D. Thompson, a former employee at the American house, was arrested Friday by Deputy Sheriff Fred Gillen on the charge of obtaining a $4 pair of trousers from Staebler & Wuerth under false pretenses. The warrant for his arrest was issued week before last, but he was not found until Friday last.

Thompson is accused of going to the Staebler & Wuerth store and getting a pair of trousers on credit, stating, it is said, that he was in the employ of the American house and would pay when he got his wage. It was discovered by the firm that he had left the employ of the hotel, hence the warrant for his arrest. 

Thompson maintains his Innocence. He declares that he dld not represent to the firm that he was employed by the hotel when he got the trousers. He had often purchased goods at the store, he says, when he was in the employ of the American house, and when he went to buy the last pair of trousers, he says, he said nothing to the firm about having lost his employment.
