Ten Mt. Pleasant and Coleman men
were arraigned at Bay City last week
oefore United States Commissioner
Quinn on complaints alleging a
scheme to swindle the American Finance Company, of Springfield, 111., hv
falsely representing thp salo of s
Studerbaker automobile.
The defendants taken before Commissioner Quinn were Clifford C.
Ruhle, automobile dealer at Coleman;
Frank Quinlan, automobile dealer at
Mt. Pleasant; Lyman Burch, former
Mayor of Mt, Pleasant, and. agent of
the American Finance Company;
Gage A. McCollam, bookkeeper for
Ruhle; Russel and Clarence Hazen,
Mt. Pleasant, automobile salesmen
for Quinlan;. Robert Burns, Coleman
salesman for Ruhle, . and William
"Sarah art and Frank Mullalay, of Coleman.
The defendants denied the charge
and demanded examination. Bonds for
Burch and Ruble were fixed at ?10,000,
for McCollam at $3,000 and for the
others at $1,000 each.
Burch's bond was furnished by
Robert Kane and S. J. Johnson, of
Mt. Pleasant, while Ruble, McCollam,
Burns Barnhart and Mullalay were
taken to the Bay City jail "iu default
of bail. Clarence Hazen and Quinlan
were also relased on bond.
Following an examination at Bay
City Tuesday before Commissioner
Quinn, on a charge of conspiring to
use the mail to defraud, Luman
Burch and Frank J. Quinlan of Mt.
Pleasant and Clifford C, Rhule and
Robert Burns of Coleman were held
to the IT. S. Grand Jury.
Complaints against the six other
defendants were dismissed.
Harry t Stough, of, Ecorse, /was seriously injured 'about ,si.x o'clock Monday* evening, when the automobile in
which he was riding left the'road and
went into the ditch near the. Fetter's
farm 'three miles south ot Clare on
U. S. 27. «i
Stough and a companion, John McDonald, who is also a resident of
Ecorse, were on their way to Hough/
ton Lake, and when the car turned
over in the ditch, Stough was thrown
clear of the automobile-and suffered
concussion of the brain. McDonald
was pinned under the car, but was
not seriously hurt.
Dr, James Reeder,- of Clare,' was
called to attend the unconscious man,
and brought him to the Doherty
Ho'tel. After the car had( been righted and placed in the road and they
were waiting lor the doctor" to arrive, it is said that McDonald insisted
that the injured nian'be placed in the
car, but the farmers who had assisted him objected on tlfe grbunds
that he should not be mqved until the
physician came,
McDonald is then reported to have
said that he would take the' automobile to a garage in Clare and wait
for -them at the hotel. When he did
not make his appearance, the officers
instituted a search, and he was over*
taken near * Houghton Lake and 'returned to Harrison where he was
held pending an investigation,
McDonald was reported to be under
tne influence of liquor, but no liquor
was found in the car or upon his
person, and he stated that Stough
was driving when the car went into
the ditch. When asked why he did
not stop at the hotel in Clare, it is
reported that he stated that he was
going on to Houghton Lake where he
had friends and was then coming
back to Clare.
As no charges had been preferred
against him in Isabella county where
the accident occured, he was released from the custody of the sheriff.
Stough is slowly regaining consciousness but his entire left sides is
paralyzed and he is still in a serious
condition. His wife and daughter
came to Clare Tuesday to assist in
caring for,him and he will be m&ved
to his home as soon as the physician
deem it advisable.
