A Misunderstanding
On warrants sworn out by Alexander Mercer Pell, who lives at Pelham farm near Little Lake in the town of Warren: William t. Weldon, an attorney of Richfield Springs, Milo Towne, a deputy sheriff of Otsego county, and Harvey Getman, were arrested last evening and brought to this village by Under Sheriff Firth. The warrants charge robbery in the second degree. Pell claims that the defendants and others came to his house last Saturday evening and took therefrom goods amounting to five wagons loads and worth $10,000, that he was assaulted when he remonstrated and that his housekeeper was told to keep still or she would go to jail.
Pell, it is said had some trouble with his wife some time ago, and it is said this culminated into a divorce suit. Mrs. Pell receiving a divorce, but appointing Pell as overseer of her property, which was in this county. Without letting Pell know, she appointed lately a Mr. Henry of Richfield Springs as her overseer, and, he being busy, he asked Mr. Weldon to go and get the goods, that belonged to him, so a few days ago he came to Herkimer and got warrants for the arrest of the defendants.
The men were arraigned before Justice Brown last night at 11 o’clock but the case was adjourned until 10 this morning when the defendants pleaded not guilty to the charge. Bail was fixed at $7.00 each. The trial was set for Monday, September 23.
