E. Pick-ereli, of wlio-were ar- rested Saturday evening, by -Officers Wall and Summers," or" Jeffersonville, cai the charge of embezzling $2,250 from Cliarles Rippe, of Forest City, Iowa, appealed before. Mayor Schwaninger, of Jeffersonville, yesterday morning and were represented by James W. Fortune. The case was continued until Friday and bond was fixed at $1,000 each.

Neither of the prisoners appeared to realize the gravity of the charge and Waters said he would go to Louisville, transact some business there and out home on the afternoon feain to have his bond filled. Mayor Sohwaninger said this hardly do and suggested that a carriage be hired and in company with am officer they go -'at once to Sellersburg and secure This was agreed to and Waters and Plckerell were turned over to Officer who accompanied them home. JFaters gave Isadora and J. M. Bairnett as his bondsmen, both of whom ivere required to make affidavit that they had $1,000 worth of unincumbered real" estate.

Pickerell's bondsman, is George W. Bot-torff, who Wanted to feake affidavit that he was worth $6,000. 'Af ter "the bonds' were acepted Waters returned to Jeffersonville with Officer AVa.lI rind rnroprWl to Tjoiik'svilte to leok after some business matters. r. At the City Hall in Jeffersonville yes- teivlay Waters said 'fas was not a cent and that his obligations' only went so far as his connection with, the Exchange Bank was concerned.

He said, he had accommodated Plckerell' by allowing blm to take the Sills' of lading without requiring him to take up tine drafts on. an assurance -Jfrtat'-'the paper, which he still held, would be paW. This had been done before, he said, and' there no Jrouble a-bout. lt. He was careful to deny that he had any connection with the Southern Indiana Grain Company.

Plckerell had but little to say further than he was prepared to. meet the, obligation' he -equitable-settlement was agreed upon; but Sie did not propose to pay for, corn that was not up to the grade claimed by. shipper. -He said he had welghits from the Nashville public weigher and inspection certificates that showed the grade was below what was represented by Rippe. Rippe was not in Jeffersonville his attorney, Andrew Miller, was.

He said the question of inspection or weights never came up -when Waters and Plckerell were talked to about making a settlement, there being denial of the debt, but the only an.swer.was that neither had the money pay it, each claiming the other was responsible. Miller says a number of persons in lis locality are wanting their money for" grain sold the Sellers-burg concern, and when he was talking to Waiters he told-him that he had-a' lot of overdue drafts in Ms possession. 33iis Waters denied and Miller asked him what he did with them." "I just 'ou'naieu mem up ana sent them back, as I did not want to be bothered with them," is the reply Miller says he made. It learned yesterday that both of the Jeffersonville banks and the one at Charlestown had been receiving inquiries from different places about the Southern Indiana Grain Company, and the-replies to the correspondents were that such an organization was not known to them. The action of allowing Magistrate Weir, of Sellersburg.

to accept bond for Waters and Plckerell Saturday evening, when the case was before Mayor Sohwaninger in Jeffersonville, is said by the Jeffersonville attorneys to have been an unheard of proceeding, Mayor Schwaninger having telephoned the Jeffersonville ofllcers that he had delegated authority to Justice Weir. Waters and Pickereil, it is claimed, -could have left the country their bond being forfeited. A second and more serious step Was taken in the case late last evening when Sheriff Rave went to Sellersburg armed, with bench warrants for the arrest of "Waters on information filed by Prosecutor Frank M. Mayfleld before' Judge Marsh, this step having been taken to prevent any dispute, over the jurisdiction of Mayor Schwaninger which might act as a bar to further action when he held them over.

Appellee filed his affidavit, swearing him oft the bench. who was designated by an ordinance, as provided by Section 3711. Kentucky Statutes, was called In to preside.
