i SPENCER
GORDON ONLY TOOK
WHAT WAS HIS OWN
SUCH IS HIS EXCUSE FOR MOB
BING DRIESEN'S STORE.
Aiter Pleading Qullty He States That
He Committed the Theft Because
His Employer Failed to Remuner
ate Htm for Services Rendered in
Connection with n Fire nnd a Fail
ure His Alleged Accomplice Tries
to Clear Himself with a Wenk
Story Other Cases Heard,
Louis Goidon who, with Charles
Stone, was accused of tho Dileseti
burglar, plead guilty when cnlled for
trial estcrday and said that Stone wns
entirely guiltless of nn criminal com
plicity In the deed. Tho commonwealth
thought differently In this last regunl
and proceeded to prove that Stone was
nn accomplice, If not a principal In tho
burglary.
The cilme was committed June 3, 1S3
It was a bold and sinew dl. executed
steal. Gordon was In Drlesen's employ
for n number of years, working In his
clothing store on Lackawanna nvenue,
and living nt his house ns If a mem
ber of the family. He left Drlesen In
1896, but icturneil to this city ngalu
nnd sought to be re-employed Mr.
Drlesen reinstated him. He had been
working for him only n couple of
months when he decided to quit once
more nnd planned tho tobbery.
Stone, who Is a lllnghamton outh,
"wns In this city visiting i datives on
Ninth Htieet. Gordon had met him
some time previous, nnd encounter
ing him on Lackawanna avenue a few
dnys preceding the burglniv, lenevved
the acquaintance nnd utilized him In
carrying out his design.
Stone, at his request, tented a loom
from Mrs. Jeffries on tho third iloor
adjoining Drlesen's stole. Later, nt
Gordon's solicitation, he had Mis. Jef
fries give him another loom at tho rear
of the house that had a window in it
overlooking the toof of the Dilesen
building. He told Mr-. Jeffiles that he
had a lot of wilting to do and thnt the
front loom was too daik.
Gordon took possession of the loom
and at his lequest Stone had two largo
trunks brought there, limning to Gui
don the money that puu based them.
WAY HE DID l"'.
With the nld of a homy iope and a
hook Gordon let himself down thiough
the skylight of Drieen'n stole, bundled
up ninety suits of clothing, hauled them
up after him to the toof with the aid
of the lope and hook, cut lied them
through tho window Into his room nnd
packed them into the two ti links.
Stone had engaged a ill a man fot
Gordon the day befoie to tome nfttr
tho tiunks. He did not show up nnd
Gordon had to go after him. Tho
trunks vveie taken to tho depot nnd
checked to Elmira. one of them being
checked on Stone's ticket
Stone got olT the train nt Ulnghani
ton. Goidon and the goods weie tiaced
to Elmlra by the locnl police and taken
Into custody li the Elmlia oHlcers.
Gordon confessed, and it Is nlleged im
plicated Stone The latter was ni
rested In Binghaiuton. and both weie
brought heto for tilnl.
Chief of Police Cassada and Detec
tive Hindu ell, of Elmlia, swoie posi
tively that Goidon confessed to them
that Stone helped him get the goods
out of Dilesen's This vt-as tho only
important conflict of testimony. Gor
don denIng the confession and Stone,
of course, claiming he knew nothing
whatever of the stealing.
Ills stoiy was that ho chanced to
meet Gordon on Lackawanna nvenue.
Gordon told him that he had been en
gaged by a New Yoik fhm to go nn
the rond nnd that he was expecting
his samples oer day. He needed a
couple of trunks, a mum In which he
could store his goods foi a couple of
dajs nnd a drn.v to take the trunks to
the stntlon. Stone agieed to advance
the money necessarj foi these things
and also out of puio filendshlp looked
after the seeuilng of them
AOCOMP.Wir.D HIM.
He was to letuin to his home in
Binghamton on June :: which was the
succeeding day, and upon learning that
Gordon was going to Elmlrn. agieed
to accompan him and help him with
his trunks. He never even suspected
that Goidon was up to any wmng
doing. Gordon's stoiy wns a couoboratlon
of this in every detail Stone, ncconl
Ing to Ills statement, wns entirely
ignorant of tho robbeij. He pieceded
this tale with a tecital of a seiles of
wiongs that lie had Miffeied nt the
hands of the Drlesens, and alleged that
he stole the clothing becnute the Drle
sens had failed In their promise to glvf
him a thousand dollars' worth of cloth
ing and start him In business In Forest
Clt, a piomlse nlleged to have been
made In consideration of the pait he
had played In ceitaln shndy transac
tions he says Drlesen engaged In.
The ease was given to the Juiv nt 1
o'clock. No veidict had been i cached
ut adjourning time Mi. Vldaver as
sisted Dlstilct Attorney Jones In tho
prosecution and Messis. Wedemnn and
Frank Bojle looked after the defense.
James McDante. foi fie t'Mrd time,

Smith for keeping a .liquid -l,- houso
and the case against her was dismissed
at the cost of the prosecutoi
A veidlet of guilty was letiuned In
the cae In which Finnk Wright was
prosecuted by Emma Cummlngs.
Gcoige Krupple was saddled with
tvvo-thlids of the costs in tho case of
assault and battery he prosecuted

missed by Judge Archbald, because
the Indictment did not comply with

latter cat-o Wall traded a bicycle for
Jones' wagon. The bicycle did not suit

mand made lor the return of tho wng
on. Wall would not give it up and
when Jones attempted to diajr It away,
ho cuught hold of It by tho dash board
and held It back. Jones gent for his
hoise and wagon, hitched the disputed
