FOR ALLEGED SLANDER
Nicholas RENSLAND of Gates, Sues His Neighbor, Charles SMITH, for $1,000.
In Circuit Court this morning the case of Nicholas RENSLAND against Charles
SMITH was placed on trial. This action is brought to recover $1000 for
alleged slander. The complaint charges that the defendant in the presence
of a large number of his neighbors and friends called the plaintiff a thief and
intimated that Mr. RENSLAND had stolen hay in large quantities and stored it
away in a cellar. The investigating parties are residents of Gates, and
the people of that township are said to be generally stirred over the matter.
The plaintiff alleges that he has lost the respect of his friends by the
defendants conduct.
The answer of the defendant is in some respects a genuine curiosity. It
admits intimating that the plaintiff stored the hay in the his cellar, and
concludes as follows. "The defendant in answer to the plaintiff's
complaints denies that he has any knowledge or information sufficient to form a
belief as to whether or not the plaintiff is respected by his friends or
neighbors".
ADMITTED BURGLARY
Alexander Klein Confesses to Having Burglarized a Cigar Store.
Alexander KLEIN was arraigned before Judge ERNST in Police Court this morning on
the charge of having burglarized the cigar store of Frederick S. JAMES at 109
East Main street.
KLEIN went to the police station last night and asked to see Capt. BAIRD.
He then admitted that last June he pulled the nails out of a transom over a door
leading into JAMES' store and stole 250 cigars. These he sold to a Jew on
St. Joseph street for $2.15.
Judge ERNST questioned the young man closely this morning, and when he admitted
his guilt held the case over to the next term of Oyer and Terminer.
KLEIN evidently gave himself up to the custody of the police because he was
discouraged and out of work. Not long ago he was sent to the penitentiary
for three months for stealing $18 from his sister. He refused to return to
the home of his parents, at 116 Scrantom street.
Sarah Randall Located.
Sarah RANDALL, the 14-year-old girl who disappeared from the Lenox building on
West avenue Friday, has been found at the home of her parents in East Rochester.
For a year past, she has been (didn't get the rest)

A CORONER'S MONEY
Two Hundred Dollars of it Stolen by a Hired Man
Henry Kleindienst's Trusted Employee Becomes a Thief and Robs His Employer.
Takes the Money from a Desk and Disappears After Buying a New Suit of Clothes.
Coroner Henry KLEINDIENST, whose home is at 96 Orchard street, was robbed of
$200 by his hired man yesterday afternoon, and now the hired man is missing
and the police are searching for him. Adam SCHMIDT is the name of the young
man who is missing.
SCHMIDT was in the employ of the coroner several
months and was considered such a faithful servant that he was trusted
implicitly by the coroner. His duties were to take care of the coroner's horse
and do chores about the house. Mr. KLEINDIENST, as well as his wife, was away
part of yesterday afternoon. The coroner returned home about 5 o'clock and
found that his wife had returned home half an hour before. She told him that
during his absence SCHMIDT had acted rather strangely and that she was not
then able to find him. The coroner walked through the sitting room into the
back parlor, where he has his office. He noticed that the papers on his desk
had been scattered about as though someone had been looking them over
hurriedly. He sat down at the desk and opening the drawer in which he kept the
money, he found that $200 was gone. This explained the strange actions of
SCHMIDT, and the coroner's actions upon making the discovery can easily be
imagined by those who know him. He lost no time, however, in getting to police
headquarters and notifying the authorities.
Dispatches, with a description of SCHMIDT, were sent
out in all directions and a search of the city was made. At a Front street
second-hand store it was learned that SCHMIDT had changed his clothes, paying
the difference in the price from a roll of bills.
After he left the pawn shop no further trace of him
could be obtained, his change of clothing having aided him somewhat in
escaping detection. He is about 20 years of age, and his parents reside in
this city. The money stolen from the coroner was drawn by him from one of the
banks of the city on Thursday afternoon and SCHMIDT was with him at the time.
It is supposed that he watched the coroner after going home and saw him put
the money into the desk.
