Fagan is the man who tells a hard luck story. Several months ago, he claimed he had been robbed by the defendant, and as he was a stranger and who had no one to go his bonds for appearance at the cir cuit trial, he was placed In the county jail to await trial that he might appear as witness against the defendant. Under the circumstances, there was nothing else for the authorities to do but it does not appear thus to the man who was robbed and arrested for being robbed. The ease of John Velt. charged with larceny from a dwelling was taken up by the court immediately after the Ryner case had gone to the jury.
