As a rt'Hiilt of admissions by Mrs.
Fritz Dochler, Fd. Sehulmerich,
of the Hillsboro Mercantile, din
covered between a thousand and
fifteen hundred dollars worth ot
, merchandise in Doehlcr's house
and outbuilding last Friday and
it took seven trips with the auto
truck to carry the Btolen goods
buck to the store. There were
bolt after bolt of fine linen and
silks, shoes gulore, groceries and
canned goods, underwear, dry
goods of all kinds, and a lot of
hardware.
Three bolts of goods alone,
from which not a bit of yardage
had been sold, cost the Mercan
tile over ISO.
It probably had taken Poehler
many months to carry away the
merchandise, and he must have
been a busy man, what with the
amount of work that he did in
the meat room of the department
store.
Both Doehler and Uingle plead
ed guilty before Judge Smith in
circuit court. Saturday evening
lute, after several indictments
had been filed by the grand jury.
Kinglo was charged with receiv
ing stolen goods, and Doehler
with larceny from a store.
Neither defendant had counsel.
Sentence was deferred until
the first of the week, and the
final result appears in another
column in this issue.
The law for larceny as applied
to Doehlcr's case is from 1 to 7
years. For the Kingle case the law
prescribes from 6 months to 5
years in the pen, or 3 months to
1 year in the county jail together
with a fine from $50 to $500.
