He was arrested this morning between the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock by Officers Okroy and Kulczyk on a charge of holding up Pagia Tomia and robbing him of $19. When the officers started in search of Briggs they found him in one of the vestibules at IS West State street. At firsthe resisted them but after he had been handled rather roughly he concluded to go to the station where he is now being held. Tomia says that Briggs and himself wero drinking together In the Vestibule and about 2 o'clock, Briggs asked him to go to his room. Tomia consented and together they went outside. Briggs asked him to go across lots. As it was nearer he did this and as soon as they were about a block from the saloon Briggs Jumped upon Tomia and after kicking him and tearing his clothes, he relieved him of $19 but overlooker $230 Tomia had concealed in his belt. At the police station this morning Tomia positively identified Briggs as his assailant so there seems to be no doubt of his guilt. Briggs protested his innocence. He was brought before Justice Flynn for trial and his case was continued, the prisoner being released meantime under bonds of $200. He will be given a hearing tomorrow at 9 a. m.

SANE ON THE SUBJECT OF WHITE

Delmas Declares His Belief is This to Jury in Closing Argument.

(Special to Lake County Times). New York. April 9. Lawyer Delmas, Thaw's leading counsel continued today his address to the jury. He began immediately after court convened at 10:30 and spoke continuously until 12:30 p. m., when he asked for a recess. His entire time today was devoted to analyzing Harry Thaw's mental condition and the progression of his feeling's against White, as shown by the testimony of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and Mrs. William Thaw. He declared that TER II, JR. S HIMSELF Is Rearrested and Threats Are Made to Can Elder Peter. CHARGE MALFEASANCE Village President Freely Admits That He Released Boy From Jail. Another warrant was taken out this afternoon for the arrest of Peter Mak, jr. The warrant was Issued hy Justice Flynn and delivered into the hands of Officer Harney Johnson for service. Twenty minutes after the warrant was issued Youuir Mak was landed in jail. Threats are bring; made that a warrant will he issued for President Peter Mnk of the village hoard, chariflnig malfeasance in otlice. The claim upon which this charge is made is that Mak exceeded his authority when he, as chief of police, released his son from the Jail. Peter Mak, jr., who was reported missing from the West Hammond jail yesterday is no longer in hiding. Neither is he under arrest. Neither is he out on bond. He Is simply out en joying the same liberty with the same unlimited freedom, that he enjoyed before he shot Anna Labuda, and he Is making no bones, about it.' Neither is his father. Last night he and his father were seen wbrking together and today ditto. President Mak freely admitted this morning that it was he who released tha boy from durance vile within the West Hammond jail. "Certainly I did it," said Mak. I m chief of police and it's my privilege HEBE IT IS, TIE IT AMY Yarn Crowded Out Yesterday is Just as Good Today. Among the pieces of live news that were crowded out of The Lake County Times yesterday on account of lack of space and the early hour of going to press, was one treating of the fight at Cooley's saloon last Saturday and the outcome of the trial in the city court yesterday morning, when J. II. O'Leary, F. M. McKevitt and James McQuade pleaded guilty to assault and battery. As the fight was one between union men tor union principles and as the story was discussed on the streets yesterday, copies of The Lake Countt Times were eagerly bought on the streets last night, especially by union men, to see what it would have to say about the affair. The fact that it was missing caused some comment in some of the union circles, which -was to the effect that the paper was afraid or that it "had been seen." As the paper cannot "be seen" in that sense and as it is fearless, it prints the story today to prove the assertion. The story as It was written yesterday by one of the reporters was as follows: "James McQuade, who is prominent in local union labor organizations, and J. II. O'Leary and F. M. McKevitt, two union plumbers, were arrested Saturday night for fighting, McKevitt being charged with assaulting a policeman. Officer Hanlon, who interferred in the fight. The fight occurred in Cooley's saloon, where McQuade got into an argument with Henry Green, jr., on labor principles. It was carried Into the street by O'Leary and one McCarthy, who escaped when It was stopped through the interference of Officer Hanlon. The trio pleaded guilty in the city court and O'Leary and McQuade were fined $1 and costs while McKevitt was fined $5 and costs. Xeither had sufficient money to pay their fines and asked the Judge to give them time in which they could pay it. This favor was granted by the judge." FOR REXT A few spacfons, well lighted, well ventilated office rooms and uftea on the aeeond and fifth floors of the Hammond bnlldlne as toon as the work of remodeling, which is now going on, can be completed. Plans are bow on exhibition at the offices of the Hammond Realty company. AdT.

HOW

Thaw was undoubtedly insane on the subject of White. District Attorney Jerome will sum up for the prosecution tomorrow. Not since the day when Evelyn Thaw gave to the world her story of her life has the court room where the final scenes in Thaw's trial are now being enacted been so crowded as it was at the morning session. The attraction was Delphin M. Delmas, the San Francisco lawyer who continued his summing up for the defense.

to release anybody I see fit. The boy was a bit hasty with his gun and I let him stay in jail from Saturday night until Sunday night as a lesson and a warning. That was punishment enough." "How about ball?" the ex-offlcio chief was asked. Willing: to Give Iinil. "That's all right, too. I'm willing to give bail if anybody wants to interest themselves enough in this matter to ask for It. If Justice Flynn had been there the night I let Pete out I should have signed his bond. He was not there, so I let him out without It. What doe3 anybody want of a bond? The boy Is here with me and will be ready to face his trial at any time." "What does Justice Flynn think of it?" "I haven't seen the judge for a number of days, so can't say. He's up in Chicago a good deal these days." And here Peter Mak chuckled. "He's got a sweetheart up there," he volunteered. "He's in Chicago a good deal of the time lately. I don't think he's worrying about my boy's bond, though. When he does, I'll make good." Never linn Away. "Why did your son run away after he had shot the Labuda girl?" "Run away? Ne never ran away. His mother sent him to Hammond for some eggs when the officers came to the house to serve the warrant on him. He was around the house here for a couple of hours after the shooting, and the police could have had him at anytime If they had wanted him." While Mak claims not to have seen Justice Flynn for several days, the justice has been in West Hammond much of the time. Yesterday he was called up over the phone from the office of The Lake County Times, at which time he claimed to be looking for young Mak, and stating that when found his father would have to go his bail or find some one who would, or the boy would be returned to the jail the same as any other prisoner. But now that Mak's whereabouts are no longer a secret, the citizens of West Hammond are asking each other why Justice Flynn does not take some action in the matter. While there is small possibility that the girl Mak shot will not recover, the possibility of blood poisoning exists, and there is a sentiment about the village that something should be done to insure the boy's appearance in court should the case take a more serious turn. PUTTEE KNEW GENTRY BUT NOT CONSTANT! Lowell Man Boarded at Gentry's House; Only "Saw" Alleged Murderer. Lowell may hold the key to the mystery surrounding the murder of Mrs. Gentry of whlcn Frank J. Constantlne stands accused. Cyrus T. Pattee, a resident of that city, has come to light a3 a witness of possible importance in the trial. Just to what extent he is familiar with the details of the tragedy is not known, but that he was an Intimate friends of the Gentry family and was acquainted with Constantine at the time of the murder, there is no doubt. It was reported at Lowell that Pattee had been a boarder at the Gentry home and that he roomed with Constantine when Mrs. Gentry was murdered. This last, however, Pattee denies. This morning Pattee made the following statement to The Lake County Times: "In regard to the story connecting me with the Constantine case, I'wlsh to state that I never roomed with nor was Intimately acquainted with him. Further than that I know nothing of the case." The Chicago police announced today their expectation that Assistant Chief Schuettler and Detective Sergeant John Sheenan will reach Chicago tomorrow with their prisoner, Frank J. Constan tine. Upon his arrival the bitter struggle between him and the state for his life or death will begin at once. Attorney Manton of New York and Robert E. Cantwell of Chicago, counsel for Constantine, have announced that only circumstantial evidince of an inconclusive character has been secured on which to base the charges that Constantine murdered Mrs. A. W. Gentry. It is said that elaborate preparations are being made by the police to rush Constantine from the train to the county jail when he reaches Chicago. The officials will attempt to bring him into the city without the knowledge of his friends. It has been suggested that the train may be stopped at South Chicago and the remainder of the journey accomplished in Assistant Chief Schuettler's automobile.
