I Altoona ALTOONA, MONDAY ILLMAN IS FOUND GUILTY OF THEFT Toledo Man, Employed by Local Furrier and Charged With Robbing Him, Convicted by Jury, Max Illman, resident of Toledo, who has twenty-seven aliases, according to the Burns detective operative who traced him and located him in Richmond, was convicted on Saturday evening on a charge of larceny.

Illman was charged by Jacob M. Aaron, fur merchant of 1335 Eleventh avenue, with stealing $10,000 worth of furs and disposing of most of them in a dozen large cities in eight states and the District of Columbia. Samuel F. Jubelirer and Robert A. Henderson, counsel for Illman, served Immediate notice of their Intenton to Alo motion for new trial and the 'customary four days' lief was given by Judge Marion D.

Pattercon, who preaided at the trial. J. Haberatroh, private counsel for the commonwealth, and Assistant District Attorney R. J. Puderbaugh will resist the motion.

The trial, which ended with the verdict at 6 o'clock' Saturday evening, was begun on Thursday after the noon recesa when a Jury was selected and the taking of testimony was started. It was a long story, that of the coming of Illman to Altoona, securing employment with Aaron and, finally, slipping out with the lion's share of his employer's stock in trade. Illman's alibi was that he and Aaron conspired together to cheat and defraud Aaron's creditors and burglar'. Testifying undor cross-examination Saturday, Illman claimed that after he had up his domestic troubles at Toledo he gent a telegram to Aaron in which he explained briefly what had held him up and that he was returnIng to make good. However, he declared, when he arrived in Pittsburgh where he stopped off, he was tipped off by a friend that Aaron was searching the country for him and that a warrant was out.

This, he said, put a different face on the matter and instead. of coming to Altoona where he would be certain to run into the clutches of the law, he went to Richmond, promising himself to work assiduously to the end that he might earn sufficient to return to Aaron all that he might claim due on the "deal." At Richmond, he pur'chased quantity of raw hides which he intended selling. A bill of sale was exhibited and Mr. Haberstroh made all manner of fun and ridiculed it because It was on the letterhead of a Arm dealing in Ash and oysters. Before Illman leaving is said to Pittsburgh have for gent Rich- mond, aeveral telegrams which proved his unclose tabs located him.

He was doing, for hand detectives were keeping arrested in a restaurant in Richmond. Illman claims the empty trunks are in Toledo. He was asked if he had told Sergeants Inman and Brennan of the Richmond police that he was selling goods for Aaron on a Afty-Afty basis to collect the burgla.ly insurance, He denied making such statement. Illman also denied offering the Richmond officers a $1,500 bribe; he denied he told W. Davis, local detective, about tho fifty-fifty plan; he denied he told Lieutenant H.

S. Carey he stole the goods, He declared the raw hides he bought in Richmond were shipped to Toledo in the name of Hyman and Miller. His -examination closed at 11 o'clock. Two local dealers in luggage were called and both stated that Illman had purchased trunks from them just before his first trip out of the city and they had been puic. for, one by Illman and the other by Aaron.

John Muhlbauer, bellboy at the Colonial hotel, stated that on the night of Sept. 14, at 9 o'clock, ho was summoned to carry a number of cartons of merchandise from a waiting automobile to a room occupied by Illman on tho third floor of the hotel. Mike Tarka, porter at the Colonial, stated that on the same evening he took two trunks to the Rame room and early on the following morning took them out and placed them on a dray van and sent them to the railroad baggage room. Aaron was in the room with Illman. Tarka declared could not be migtaken.

To make himself sure, on New Year's eve he went up by the Aaron atore to get a peek at Aaron and when he did so, he claimed Aaron recognized him and, accosting him, offered him $50 AB bribe not to testify, The money, he said, he tused. Thomas Carloss, local baggage man, stated that at 6 Sept. 15, Illmun came to his office with two trunks und had them checked to Pittsburgh, in the name of Sam Miller. Mra. Hooper, wife of a clerk in the Wuyne hotel, said she saw Illman last September.

He told her he was selling fur coats and had one he knew would fit her and he would sell it reasonably, She never suw Aaron there. She did not purchase. collateral testimony by Fred Wray, bank cashler, in relation to Aaron's bank account, ad Mr. Coble, manager of the local offices of the Western Union Telegraph company, brought the testimony up to the calling of Illman'a daughter, Miss Sadie Illman, a prepossessing young woman of Toledo. Her straightforward and frank manner of testifying, in sharp contrast to that of some other wtinesses, made a deep impression.

Miss Illman stated she met Aaron for the first time at Toledo, the day after her father's arrest. Aaron, she said, called her on the phone and Informed her that her father hud robbed him. She expressed a desire to come to Altoona and do what she could to effect settlement und release her futher from prison. Aaron replied, she suid, that it was of no use; what he wanted was his furs back. The next day Miss Illman called Aaron and told him she was coming nevertheless and she did.

Aaron met her at train und together they went to the police station. She could not have a confidential talk with her futher because Aaron stayed right there. The girl accused her father of stealing. "Why did you give me EL stolen coat?" she asked him. The father declared the coat bad not been stolen.

Pointing to Auron, Illman is declared to have said, "He double crossed me." To this, the girl suid Aaron replied, "If you stick and give me back my furs. will not prosecute you." Miss Illman stuted her futher agaiu denied theft. Auron told bim the only way hie could square himself with the police way to admit he stole the furs. Lieutenant Curey then appeared on tho arene. She asked his advice on how to secure the releuse of her futher.

He thought restitution would be 24 lung step in the direction. Then she wrote down a list of what goods were still in her futher'e hands. They attempted to arrive at the number of pieces sold, to whom they were sold, the amount of money received and the Mirror. EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1930.
