In his complaint Damewood says that on or about Sept. 15. 1909, James C.

Said affidavit was placed in the hands of the sheriff of Boone county and Davis accompanied the sheriff to Chicago, where Damewood then was, and caused the arrest of Damewood. He also says that Davis caused his incarceration in the police station at Chicago, where he was stripped of his clothing and th$ clothing searched by the police. Measurements were made of his body, and his picture taken and placed in the rogues’ gallery, where it yet remains.

That said cause was afterward called for trial in the Boone circuit court, and such proceedings were had as resulted in the dismissal of said affidavit without any trial whatever.
