Helsel Girl Released On Bond Supplied By Father.

Leona Helsel, who was charged by Erik. Lindstram with having stolen Finnish and American money amounting to $lB2 from him, was released Monday afternoon on S3OO bond supplied by her father, Albert Helsel, of Virgie. The girl accompanied by another girl who gave the name of Anderson and who claimed Chicago as her home, went to Virgie Monday afternoon and returned to Rensselaer on the 10:55 train today, Tuesday, and then went on to Mohon on the 11:17 train. They had been arrested at Monon and went there today to get their suit cases. Sunday Lindstram and Marshal Johnson, the latter an uncle of the Helsel girl, came to Repsselaer and Lindstram swore out the warrant against the girl. He had missed his money Saturday night, although the Helsel girl had been away from the Johnson home, where Lindstram works, since Thursday. They said she had gone to Chicago Heights and Sheriff McColly went there to arrest her, but after arriving there found that she had gone to Monon and he telephoned here and John Robinson as special constable went to Monon and placed her under arrest. She had only a little-over $1 in money with her. The preliminary hearing will take place within a few days.
