DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1922.

KOHLER PLACED UNDER ARREST Sheriff Frauhiger, Os Wells County, Continues His Activities Fred Kohler, Adams county farmer residing Northwest of Berne, was arrested by Sheriff Noah Frauhiger, of Wells county, yesterday afternoon and taken to Bluffton where he was arraigned in the city court before Mayor Thompson on a charge of violating the liquor law. Kohler furnished bond in the sum of $1,500 yesterday afternoon and gained his release from the Wells county jail where he was placed after he pleaded not guilty to the charge, Frauhiger and his deputies conducted a raid on Kohler's farm one day last week and found a still. Frank Seegar, who was in the room with the still at the time of the raid, was arrested and later fined $l5O and sentenced to 90 days on the state penal farm. Seegar, it is said, accused Kohler of being implicated in the manufacture and sale of the liquor, which was in the possession of Hosea Martz of Berne, when the latter was arrested last week near Bluffton. There were four counts to the charge prefered against Kohler yesterday. They charged ownership of a still, manufacture of liquor, transportation of liquor, and possession of liquor with tntent to sell. Kohler pleaded not guilty to all four counts. The case was set for a hearing in the Mayor’s court on next Thursday morning at 9 o’clock. Kohler has employed Attorney R. C. Parrish, of Fort Wayne to defend him, it is said. A weird story of supposed supernatural powers held by Kohler, was told by Frank Seegar, now in the Wells county jail, waiting to be taken to the state penal farm. Seegar told how Kohler made boasts of being able to bewitch anyone who entered his premises and how he covered up the operation of a still in an old house on an adjoining farm by spreading a story that it was haunted. He drove several tenants from the house, including his own brother, by frightening them with tales of unusual manifestations and his own diabolic powers. He has a book at his home front which he learned the practice of witchery, Seegar said. Many residents in that section of the county fear him, it is said. Kohler denies all these stories and claims he never made any boast of holding unnatural powers. He fears the haunted house himself, however, he admits. Daugherty Impeachment Proceedings Are Started Washington. Dec. 12. —(Special to Daily Democrat)— Hearings in the Daugherty Impeachment proceedings started today in the house judiciary committee with counsel for attorney general Daugherty demanding the identity of persons "behind the thing." "What we want to know at the start,” declared former congressman Paul Howland, of Cleveland, representing Daugherty "who Is behind representative Keller In this impeachment resolution.” He said in the record he was aided in the preparation of his charges by certain other persons. Now we want to hear who these persons are. “The attorney General and his freinds are trying at the outset to throw up a smoke screen,” declared Attorney Jackson Ralston for Keller. “The questions of who is interested with Mr. Keller in this matter is not pertinent at this time.” “Orders to do so by the committee," Ralston finally said he helped Keller and he thought Samuel Untermyer, of New York, aided. ■ o LETTERS TO DEAR OLD SANTA *— Dear Santa: Will you please bring me a doll, and sewing box, and drawing book, and reading book, and box of paints, and some candy, and brother Frederick Dale and Frankie Lough, a little red sled, train, and a car, and all some presents.
