Edwards Was Bound Over

EDWARDS WAS BOUND OVER

Charged With Abstracting Silver-ware from Freight Car

The Silverware Came from the Oneida Community and the Theft Occurred at Wiards

Thomas Edwards, charged with the larceny of $200 worth of silverware, had his examination before Justice Doty yesterday and he was bound over to the circuit court, his bond being fixed at $1,000. No one appearing to go on his bond, he was sent to the county jail.

The history of this case was given in the Argus at the time the goods disappeared and the salient features of the case are about as follows. The offense alleged occurred on April 23 last. It seems that the Oneida Community at Niagara Falls shipped a considerable amount of silverware via the Michigan Central railroad to parties in Seattle, Wash. Somewhere between Detroit and Ann Arbor the car containing these goods was broken and a portion of the goods taken out. The goods were traced from the time of their receipt by the railroad company until they reached Jackson, when it was discovered that a portion of them estimated at the value of $200 had disappeared. There are reasons for supposing that the theft was made about Wiard's, about two miles east of Ypsilanti, but within Washtenaw county.

Shortly after the disappearance of the goods, Officer Lally, of Detroit, arrested Edwards with some of the goods in his possession. He was brought to Ann Arbor and this morning had his hearing with the result above mentioned. Edwards claims to be a resident of Detroit, but there is little known of his history. His case may not be tried before October.
