REPUBLICAN NORTHWESTERN BELVIDERE, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 21, 1923. 55,000 BOND FOR GREEN AFTER HE CONFESSES TO ROBBERY HERE THE YOUTH'S DETERMINATION CRACKS UNDER PERSISTENT "QUESTIONING AND IDENTIFICATION AND HE TELLS THE WHOLE STORY OF THE OIL STATION HOLD-UP -SAYS HE AND COMPANIONS WERE FULL OF MOONSHINE AND ADMITS THAT HE IS A "DOPE" FIEND. Search is now on for two Rockford youths, named as accomplices de Kenneth Green, who late Saturday was held to the grand jury in bonds of $5,000 on charges of robbery 'and assault with a deadly weapon after he had made. a complete confession of his part in the spectacular holdup of the Pennsylvania gasoline filling station here on the night of November 24. Bevidere and Rockford authorities feel certain the pair implicated by Green will be in custody soon and are bending every effort to bring about their capture.

Identification of Green by Ray Kinreed, the station attendant, whom the trio of bandits kidnaped and carried to a lonely spot four miles east of here on the Grant highway in an automobile stolen at Rockford and then beat into insensibility with the butt end of a revolver, paved the way for the confession. Continued urging by the boy's father, H. H. Green, to tell the truth and efforts by Chief Johnson, Mayor Perkins, Justice Joe Fox and State's Attorney Oakley finally broke down his "hardness" and in a long signed statement he revealed all of the ugly details of the holdup job and what had transpired before and after. Rehearses Crime He declared all three had been drinking heavily of moonshine before they stole the Buick car in Rockford belonging to Lloyd Shumway and then drove to this city, where they held up the gasoline station.

Green said that one of the youths now. sought struck Kinreed over the head' FO hard that the gun fell out of his hand. Green said he did not have the gun at any time. From here, he said, the trio drove to McHenry and thence to Chicago, Aurora, Joliet, LaSalle, Spring Valley and DeKalb before returning to Rockford. He told of wild moonshine orgies in roadhouses near Aurora.

Is a User of Dope Green also admitted to his questioners that he has been a dope fiend for the past year and named a Rockford character known as "Limpy Joe" as the peddler who has supplied him with cocaine at the rate of $10 a packet. Following the confession a brief hearing was held before Justice Fox at the police station. Kinreed was the only witness introduced and after he had retold the story of the holdup Green was immediately bound over. Girls Did Not Testify Katherine Peck and a girl named Anderson, who were brought here from Rockford Saturday afternoon to testify at the hearing, were not put on the stand. The Peck girl, who it is said is not yet 15 years old, is said to have admitted Green's accomplices in the holdup that officers were on their trail and to get out of Rockford.

She is alleged to have had improper relations with Green, who has a wile and baby, and when she was taken back to Rockford after the caring she was held a prisoner in the city jail under a delinquency charge. The crime for which young Green is held was committed on the night of November 24, and the are generally known here. After robbing the oil station, the bandits at the point of a gun forced Kinreed into their automobile, and drove to a point just east of Camp where he was ordered out of the machine. They then searched his clothing. and finding no money, one of them stepped back of him and struck him twice with the butt end of the gun, cutting two gashes in his scalp and knocking him down.

The revolver flew out of the man's hand. They lighted matches to search for it, and then drove away leaving their victim half senseless at the side of the road. Police on the Trail The local police had at first practically nothing to work on, the first tangible clew being the discovery of the stolen Buick car abandoned in Rockford several days later. Believing that the robbers were from Rockford and that they were on their way to see the Sammy Mandell fight at East Chicago the Belvidere police set to work. Their theory proved correct, and eventually they dug up a clew that led to the Peck girl, who finally confessed that Green told her that he and two other fellows stole Shumway car and staged the the holdup.

Green stoutly maintained his innocence, and planned to make a of it until on Saturday he was fight identified by Kinreed as one of the who did the job. This was what men broke his nerve, and when probably his hearing was called late Saturday Former Capron Woman' Died At Stanhope, la. South Capron, Dec. Mrs. I.

May Restore Bounty on Wolves (Special to the Daily Republican) Rockford, Dec. 19-Restoration of the bounty of $10 on dead wolves was discussed by the board of supervisors this morning after complaint had been made of depredations by wolves in Cherry Valley township.

No action was taken today but the matter was referred to committee. members of the board favored a bounty on foxes, skunks and woodchucks. afternoon he made a clean breast of the whole affair, making the confession in the presence of his father and the local officers. Broken with emotion and lacking the stimulant of "dope" after being in jail since the night before, he told what he claims to be the entire story, but claimed that he was not the man who handled the gun. The confession came after the usual press hour of the Daily Republican, but this paper was able to an-! nounce briefly that Green had confessed, the presses being stopped to insert the item.

The local police department is entitled to a great deal of credit in this affair, which they worked out with hardly a clew to start with beyond the fact that it was believed that the bandits rode in the stolen Shumway Buick. Chief Johnson and Mayor Perkins and members of the police force have worked untiringly upon the case, and when they went to Chief Bargren at Rockford and laid their information before him he and Captain Reed gave them every sistance and the help of all the cers they needed to gather in the suspects they wanted. The three youths first picked up did not prove to be the ones wanted, but that the officers were on the right trail was proved when the inquiry led to the Peck girl, who appears to have been a "sweetie" of Green's. Green has been working for some time on a line car for the Rockford and Interurban and occasionally visited Belvidere with the line gang.

The murderer was Ray Hannah, 25, assistant night manager of the Metropole hotel. He turned the weapon on himself and ended his life after killing the woman.

The reason for Hannah's action is believed to have been Miss Martin's refusal to marry him. The body of the murdered woman was brought back to Snaroh Sunday for burial.

EARLEY GRAY FOUND LYING UNCONSCIOUS IN FIELD WITH HIS SCALP LAID OPEN--BELIEVED HE WILL RECOVER--SKULL NOT FRACTURED NOT KNOWN JUST HOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED Howard Gray, year old son of Mr. and Mrs.

Earley Gray, residing four miles and a half southwest of Belvidere.on the Stone Quarry road, lies in the Belvidere Public hospital with his scalp cut from ear to ear, the result, it is believed, of being fallen on by a horse he was riding Monday morning. The youngster had mounted the horse and rode into the field to round up some other horses. A short time later the horse he had been riding returned to the house, riderless and with splotches of blood on its hide. Search for the boy was immediately instituted and he was found unconscious a considerable distance from the house in the field. His scalp was torn wide open and blood was pouring from the ugly cut.

He was rushed to the hospital, where a surgeon worked over him for 45 minutes or more sewing toegther the scalp. The skull was not fractured. The boy is in a serious condition and greatly weakened by loss of blood but it is believed he will recover. He was found shortly after 8 o'clock and it is thought lay in the field about half an hour before discovered. One theory of the accident is that the boy may have been thrown from the horse's back and although badly injured made an effort to again mount the animal, but fainted before he could do so.

This may account for the smears of blood found on the horse when it returned to the house and caused search for the rider to be started. It is also possible that the horse stumbled and fell' on the youngster.

FOUR OF CREW HURT AS TRAIN TURNS ON SIDE The Chicago and Northwestern passenger due east out of. Belvidere at 7:42 this morning, was wrecked at Winnebago, six miles west of Rockford, all of the cars being thrown off the tracks and overturned against an embankment, which alone prevented their rolling upon their sides. Four people were injured. The engine alone kept to the rails, the baggage car, the smoker, two day coaches and a combination parlor car and diner being derailed. It is supposed that a broken rall was the cause of the wreck, the cars leaving the rails at the west edge of the village and plowing their way along the ties clear through the village to the eastern edge, where they toppled over against the embankment and the engine was brought to a stop.

The train does not ordinarily stop at Winnebago, and was running at rapid rate when the accident happened. Of the ten people on the seven of them members of the and three passengers, only four were injured, Brakeman Cain of West Chicago having a leg bruised and strained, Chef L. Rogers of Chicago being scalded, suffering concussion of the brain, and a broken collar bone. It is feared he may die. Baggageman John Sheehan was bruised when he was tossed about among the trunks in the baggage car.

Porter Warren Smith suffered a strained back and bruises. The three passengers were George W. Lee of Marengo, Miss Anna Eichberg of Freeport, who is a student at Rockford, and Miss Anna Barron of Rock Rapids, Iowa. Wreckers from Freeport and Chicago were sent to the scene and the crews are still working on the wreck this afternoon. Passengers and members of the crew were tossed about in the rocking, bouncing cars as.

they bounded along the ties. and it is marvelous that there were no more serious injuries, due probably to fact that the embankment kept the cars from rolling clear over. Conductor Charles Woodworth of Chicago was in charge of the train, with him being Brakeman "Bus" Cain of West Chicago, and on the engine were Engineer George Reid of Chicago, and Fireman William Peters of Chicago. The combination parlor car and diner was in charge of Warren C. Smith of Chicago, and L.

D. Rogers of Chicago was the chef. A wrecker from the Illinois Central was sent from Freeport and reached Winnebago within forty minutes after the wreck happened. A Northwestern wrecker from Chicago went west through Belvidere at 11 o'clock. Officials from the road headquarters in Chicago are at the scene of the wreck.

There was no east. bound train through Belvidere until about 11 o- clock, when the engine of the wrecked train was sent east with the cars from the train that' went west at 9:43, and which went only as far as Rockford. Miss Anna Barron, mentioned among the passengers, is an aunt of Mrs. Frank Niemeyer of Belvidere and visits here occasionally. PETIT JURY TO REPORT DEC.
