Cole Lost Seven Dollars

Chas. M. Cole complained to the officers last week that he had been robbed of $7 by one of a gang of six tramps he had been having a good time with in the vicinity of the Michigan Central tracks.

According to his story, he came down from Jackson yesterday and falling in with the before mentioned half dozen proceeded to help them dispose of some creator of good cheer. He claimed that in a friendly scuffle he was thrown down on the ground and one of the tramps, giving his name as Wilson, took the seven dollars away from him. Wilson was taken into custody and on being searched five dollars in silver was found upon him.

When Cole appeared before Justice Doty this morning for a warrant, his condition was such as to cause the judge grave doubts as to his story. Cole was examined, therefore, and he contradicted himself in so many points that Justice Doty deemed it best not to issue a warrant for Wilson, as he feared it would be impossible to convict him on the testimony. Wilson was accordingly turned loose.
