ALLEGED COPPER THIEVES CAUGHT

OF WIRE

Two Local Young Men Are in Jail Awaiting Trial for Larceny- Arrested Tuesday Night.

Carl Suseland and Mace Rohrer, two young men, aged 25, and 24 years respectively, -were arrested at 0 :30 o'clock p. m. Tuesday, and lodged in the county jail, charged with stealing three hundred pounds of copper wire. The hearing is set for Thursday morning; before Justice of the Peace 15. M. Seybold. The affidavit was tsworn to by Francis Hodgson, an employe of the Winona Telephone Co., of this city, and charges the young men witli stealing the wire from that company. Wednesday morning, however, Samuel Tomlinson, manager of the Winona Co., viewed the confiscated copper wire and declared the wire found in. possesion of the young men, was not the property of the Winona Telephone Co. The two young men were arrested by Sheriff Daniel Vjreis, and Jacob Foltz, at about 9:30 o'clock Tuesday evening, while in the act of unloading the wire from a buggy, at the junk shop of Myer Franklin, at what is known as the old B-own barn, southeast of the Michigan street bridge. Awaited Their Coming. For about two months, the Winona Telephone Co. has missed a quantity of copper wire, which was -supposed to have been stolen by local talent. Accordingly a 'close watch for any clue to the theft was kept by Managet Tomlinson "and his employes. At about;? o'clock Tuesday evening, Prosecuting Attorney H.' L. Linger received a telephone call from the manager, that he had a clue, and that he believed that the wire was to be sold to the junk dealer Franklin by the thieves that night. Accordingly Sheriff Voreis and Special Constable Jacob Foltz took a quiet departure for the neighborhood of the junk -shop, and awaited further developments. They were about to give up hope,, when a new yellow-gear open buggy approached, in which two men were riding. ' The buggy turned up the narrow street leading to the old Brown barn. The officers followed, and entetd the barn just as the two young men were ;n the act of unloading four or rive- !rgv rolls of . bare copper ;re. The officers placed the two young men, who weu Suseland and Rohrer and also the ju'nk dea'cr Franklin under arrest, for larceny, and accessory. Franklin stoutly maintained his innocence from aiding in any way in the theft or disposal of the copper wire. He told the sheriff that the reason why he hadJcept open that night wa m wafting for the arrival of Suseland and Rohrer, but he said that the two young men had telephoned him that they would bring him some junk that, evening, and he was not aware that it was eithet copper or copper wire. Later on the way to town, Suseland confirmed the toTy of Franklin, that tht

j junk dealer was not implicated

and so he was released by the officers While enroute to the office of the Justice of the Peace, the sheriff asked the young men about the stealing of the wire irom the. Winona Co. "From the Winona Co?" quickly responded

Rohrer, intimating that the wire was stolen from some other company. When brought before Justice Seybold warrants were issued for the arrest of the two young men, and their bond fixed at $200 each. They made no attempt, to secure bond, but went to jail, to await a hearing Thursday morning. Did Not Belong to Company. After inspecting the wire, Mr Hodgson stated that the wire was not the property of the Winona Telephone Co. If the wire has been stolen, it seems to be an accident that theN theft was discovered. Those in charge of tiie Hell Exchange in this city state that they had no such amount of copper wire here. However in February, when this vicinity was vi.sited by the heavy sleet, and almosl every'wire leading from the city was broken down, a gang of Bell linemen came to Plymouth and spent several days here, repairing broken wire. It is said that these linemen made their headquarters at the Detwiler Livery barn, from which they secured livery rigs. It was at this barn that Rohrer has been employed, and was employed until Tuesday evening. Wire Concealed in Barn. All appearances point to the fact that the wire wras hidden in the Detwiler livery barn. An investigation Wednesday revealed particles of straw adhereing to, and scattered through the bundles of wire. This would seem to indicate that the wire had been stored in a straw loft. It -was said by officers Wednesday, that they have evidence to show that the buggy, with the two prisoners was seen leaving the Detwiler barn, and after Suseland and Rohrer were taken to jail a hostler from that barn secured the rig and drove it back to the barn. Got Wire in Logansport. Carl Suseland shortly after his

arrest Tuesday night, told Sheriff

Voreis that they had got the wire in Logansjort. Suseland was formerly employed as lineman for the Winona Telephone Co., and so understands the value and

obtaining of copper wire. The

Logansport story is discredited by. the officers; who are of the opinion that the wire was obtained from the Reil Telephone gang, here in February. The most unlikely part of this theory is the great bulk of wire, which could hardly be taken at once, for fear of its being missed. The Bell people have phoned the news to the district supervisor who will robably come to Plymouth and who will no doubt, be able to identify the wire, if taken from his company. Wire Was Old. The copper wire confiscated by the officers Tuesday evening was by no means new wire. Excqting the ends, which seemed to be freshly cut, the wire was black. Mr. Hodgson of the local exchange states that the copper wire costs about $24 per 100 pounds when new . The wire as sold for old copper would bring about $12 per 100 pounds. There was about .'500 pounds in the lot confiscated, which is now lying in the office of Justice Seybold.
