Roy Hall In Court

ROY HALL IN COURT

Examination Began of Manchester Horse Thief

CASE NOT FINISHED

Testimony of Hall's Companion Desired––Adjournment Taken to Aug. 26

Roy W. Hall, the 19 years old boy who was arrested in Ohio some day ago and returned to Washtenaw on a charge of horse stealing, had his examination before Justice Doty Wednesday morning.

When the prosecution had examined Liveryman Martin, of Manchester, where the rig was obtained and Landlord Wm. A. Moore, of Wayne, where the horse was left and seven dollars in money obtained on the rig, the prosecution stated that was its case. John W. Bennett, who represented Hall, asked for an adjournment until August 26, in order to give the defense a chance to get the evidence of one Bently, who was associated with Hall in the business they were prosecuting.

Prosecutor Duffy consented to this and Hall was taken back to jail in default of bonds in the sum of $1,000 demanded by the justice.

The history of the case is about as follows. Two young men were canvassing for pictures to enlarge and delivering the goods when the work was done. Bently and Hall had been hiring rigs of Liveryman Martin of Manchester. On July 20 they went for rigs and Hall wanted to keep his out over night, contrary to a condition made by Martin. Martin declined to let it go on those terms. Bently then went to see Martin and the liveryman finally consented to let the rig go. Hall stated he wanted to go to a friend's about half way between Manchester and Chelsea. He departed with the rig and later, on the 23d of July, it was found at the hotel of Wm. A. Moore in Wayne. Sheriff Gauntlett got the rig and returned it to its owner. Hall had represented, so Moore testified at the examination, that Hall represented to him, that he owned the rig and Moore gave him as he requested seven dollars on it. In other words he pawned the rig for seven dollars.

Hall was traced in an interesting way. It appears that it was learned by the officers that Hall had a young lady friend at Chelsea and the postoffice was watched and through a letter he was located in Ohio and brought back.

Hall claims he left the horse with Landlord Moore at Wayne and told Moore that Bently would be along and pay up and take the horse, but Moore denies that there was any such understanding.

Hall declines to say anything about himself or tell where his home is. He will not even talk to his attorney, saying he does not want his friends to know he under arrest on such a charge. He seems to be up against a pretty serious proposition.

A somewhat warm discussion arose after court adjourned over who should have the reward of $25 offered by Martin for the return of his rig. It was returned by Sheriff Gauntlett, but a Wayne county officer, who was present this morning at the examination claimed the reward because he first found the horse and put Gauntlet next. Martine paid Gauntlett and Sheriff Gauntlett paid Landlord Moore what was his due and generously offered the Wayne officer the entire remainder, $19.50, but the Wayne officer wanted the entire $25. He tried to get Martin to make up what had been paid to Landlord Moore, but Martin said he had discharged his full obligation under his offer of a reward. The Wayne official finally took the $19.50 as offered by Sheriff Gauntlett. Gauntlett certainly was very generous in the matter, under the reward proposition he could have very properly claimed a share of it.

Handicapped by Taking Up of Side Tracks––Compelled to Adopt Expensive Method of Transportation

Dean & Co. have been compelled to solve the knotty problem of how to get the oils consigned to them from the tank cars to their storage tanks on First street. Since the Ann Arbor railroad took up its sidetracks preparatory to grade separation, Dean & Co. have been greatly handicapped and apparently forbearance ceased to be a virtue when, last week, the damaging of a tank care entailed a loss of about $500 worth of gasoline.

Dean & Co. hav now decided to have their oils shipped over the M. C. road and have had made a large tank wagon which will be used in conveying the oil from the railroad to their tanks. This will be somewhat expensive, but they say it is the only way out of the dilemma.

A PORTO RICAN AT UNIVERSITY

PROTEGE OF REGENT BARBOUR WILL ATTENE

Son of a Prominent Man on the Island – His Sister Will Also be Here

Regent Levi Barbour was in the city Monday to secure a tutor in Mathematics for a young Porto Rican, who will enter the medical department in the fall. The young man, Stephenus Bonago and his sister are at present guests at the home of Regent Barbour in Detroit. Their father is one of the most noted men of their island, being at the head of all the slums there.

Yesterday young Bonago visited in Ann Arbor, and while here was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William Strain of S. University avenue. As he is a friend of Mr. Strain's brother in New York. Those who talked with him thought he already had an excellent knowledge of the language and a most beautiful accent. Regent Barbour is delirious that the young man should make the best possible progress and thinks he would do better in private family than to go into a boarding house. Mr. Bonago will return next week and take up regular study in Geometry with Dr. James Glover.
