. 1898 Aug 28, Sun. He Gave $2,000 Bail & Will Spend Sunday at His Time
Wm. Henry, the Portsmouthh man who was robbed of $1,000 at his home, 1200 Marsac St. early yesterday morning by an unknown burglar called at police headquarters & preferred a complainant against Levi G Felker, charging him with the theft. What evidence the police dept. has, in any, is being kept a secret. It is stated that Mr. Felker's house was thoroughly searched yesterday afternoon without discovering the slightest trace of the missing gold, silver & paper money which Mr. Henry claims he so carefully laid away in the little drawers in his room.
The Sunday Bay City Times is informed that Mr. Felker has been a resident of this country for more than a quarter of a century & has always been an honest, hard working & industrious man, having the respect of all who knew him. While living in Essexville he was twice elected president of the village.
Mrs. Felker & daughter called at the police station yesterday afternoon with John E Kinnane, who has been retained to conduct the defense. ... The defendant was arraigned, entered a plea of not guilty, & was held in $2,000 bail for his appearance Sep 1 at 1 o'clock. Mr Felker then departed with his wife & daughter for home.
"Why didn't you keep your money in the bank?" asked the Sunday Times of Mr. Henry.
"Will, I will tell you. A few years ago when the banks all over the country were failing, the banks of this city united in an agreement making it impossible for depositors to get their money without giving them notice a certain time in advance. I had about 1 $1,000 in 3 certificates of deposit, intent to use them from time to time as I wanted the money. When I presented one of the certificates, I could not get the money & it bothered me a good deal, & since that time I have been keeping my own money. I last saw the money on Thursday. I had a little money came in & I put it with the rent. What beats me is the fact that the burglar overlooked all of my mortgages, notes & other valuables while he took pains to take Mr. Felker's private papers & spread them out on the kitchen table."
