ONeill and Freed plead not guilty in Estherville case
Ed ONeill and Clarence Freed of Estherville faced Judge F C Davidson in district court last Friday after being charged with taking 87 gallons of alcohol from Emmet county courthouse in May. They waived arraignment and pleaded not guilty. Two co defendants William Nock and Roy Lowman did not enter pleas due to absent counsel. County Attorney Johnston sought early trials to clear unfinished business before year end. ONeill requested court appointed counsel as he is financially unable to hire an attorney. All four defendants reportedly confessed involvement in the theft.
