They said the barrier was not lighted In the face of much evidence sub-- stantiating the claimants, the plea was denied. The court reinstated the claim of Lawrence Y. Sherman and Noah C Bainum for $8,000 for services per-- formed for the state's legal depart-- ment during the term --of Edward J. Brundage as attorney general. The claim says they were retained in a number of cases for -- which they received no pay because gov-- ernor Small vetoed a large appro-- priation for the attorney general's office. The board recently allowed J. E. BRartley, Shawneetown similar claims. Claims resulting from -- another automobile accident were denied in the case of three young men, Ver-- non Arnold, Floyd Clauser _ and Theodore Stoddard of Hannibal, Mo., who started to drive to Camp Point, Ill., and at Paloma struck a barrier across the road. Arnold Another claim denied was that of William Kittle, Danville, whose car crashed with a state truck at Dan-- ville. He wanted $750. The court found the state truck had the right of way and denied the claim. James Garns, a laborer on the hard road between Peoria and Pe-- kin, asked for $1,198 damages for injuries received while at _ work. The board held the testimony was not clear and that Garmmns did not properly present his case. In another case the court denied the claim of Mrs. Laura A. Mercer who sought $5,000 damages for the death of her son, killed while en-- route from Elizabeth to Galena to testify in a murder trial. The au-- tomobile in which he was riding skidded into another car and he was killed in the crash. The car was driven by A. C. Van Gorder, state highway policeman, and the com-- plainant contended the state was liable for the young man's death. A rehearing in this case was denied. The claimants contended that Paschen could not get materials at the price he figured on in his bid and that his expenses for labor and also freight was much higher than he had anticipated. The court, how-- ever, said there was nothing to jus-- tify the award or any portion of it and denied the elaim. R. M. Lobdell, county highway superintendent says that Paschen built sections H and I of the Belvi-- dere road back in 1922, constructing nearly seven miles of pavement. Lobdell was not the county highway superintendent at the time, but says that he recalls that Paschen lost much money on this contract because of the increasé in material and freight costs and the necessity of paying for labor. Lobdell says he u::. the ruling made by the court the only one which could be made , as in case the contractor had by _ re-- ductions in costs of material and freight and labor wages had de-- creased, he would not have been ready to make a refund to the state. The state court of claims at its over $146,000, i Cthe claim The claim was filed by the estate of FPaschen and asked reimburse-- ment of $96,272.64 alleged to have been spent by him in the construc-- tion of the Belvidere road in Lake county. lt was claimed that this sum of money was lost on the con-- tract due to circumstances which could not be forseen at the time Paschen entered into a contract to build the road. The matter was hotly contested.

ERniihe colclr us town: --2d "How long have you been on that corner?" Stewart was asked. "All evening," he replied. Then Chief Kennedy asked Stew-- art if he had seen Todd enter the Academy theater with two men about 2 o'clock in the morning, Stewart said he was positive no one had entered the theater, With this statement young Todd n:)timbly weakened and fell for As the police emerged with young Todd from the Academy theater Chief Kel;nedy called Stewart from across the street for questioning. "How long have wan. hase "am Again the course taken by the bandits was gone over to the Acad-- emy theater and the youth ques-- tioned. He held to his story, Hans Johnson, of Gurnee, Still not convinced with the youth's story in spite of the repeat-- ed accuracy in which he related it, Chief Kennedy stationed Policeman Virgil Sewart on the corner of Clayton and Genesee streets, across from the theatre and worked out a plan to trap Todd. Chief Kennedy accompanied by Captain Booth and Detective Ser-- geants Bart Tyrrell and Wm,. Mac-- Danald, took young Todd and visit-- ed the location where he said he had been taken from his car. They nad the youth go over the entire course and act out the robbery. Young Todd did this to perfection. Agdin the course was retraced and he told over and over in almost the same words how he was robbed. All of Chief Kennedy's efforts to break down the youth's story seemed fu-- tile. 6 Because of the youth's previous visit Captain Booth doubted the fantastic story. He called Assistant Chief of Police Thomas E. Kennedy to take charge of the investigation. The youth had his story "down pat" and, confident that he was all set to "pull the wool" over the eyes of Assistant Chief of Police Thomas E. Kennedy, Captain Thomas Booth, and other police officials, he walked into police headquarters at 2 o'clock this morning and told how two masked bandits took him from his automobile at Washington street and Park avenue, forced him to go to {the Academy theatre with them at the point of a gun and open the safe holding two bags of money, one containing $700 and the other $90Q0. Strangely enough, the youth related, the two masked men overlooked the bag containing $900. Todd said the bandit pair left him at the theatre and sped away in their machine. Paves Way For Robbery Tale Young Todd had not overlooked a detail. At 1 a. m., an hour before he reported the robbery, the young man visited the police station and informed Captain Booth that he was being followed by two men in a touring car who he believed were bent on robbing him. He mentioned that they might kidnap him and force him to open the theatre safe. Impressed by the youth's story, Captain Booth took young Todd with him and together they drove about the city looking for the two men in the black touring car. At the end of a half hour's fruitless search the youth said "he guessed everything was all right." . It was 45 minutes later that Todd came hurrying into police head-- quarters and said he had been kid-- naped and forced to open the Acad-- emy safe.
