THUG IDENTIFIED
BY GIRL’S DREAM
Cincinnati Burglar Is Con
victed by Jury.
CINCINNATI, Nov. 27.—A girl’s dream
played an important part in the convic
tion of Cort Schweder, Renner street, on
a charge of burglary of the inhabited
dwelling of Benjamin Eckstein, 2127 Ren
ner street, April 0, 1919.
For some time the Ecksteins had been
missing money and articles from their
home, and on the night of April 5, 1919,
Miss Mabel Reule, a friend of the family,
dreamed she saw Cort Schweder, who
lived near the Ecksteins, enter their home
and rob It. She told Leo Eckstein, son
of Benjamin Eckstein, of her dream, and
he and his father lay In wait that night.
They were rewarded when, they de
clared, a man they recognized as
Schweder entered the house and began
ransacking it. They tried to capture the
fellow, but he ran and they fired sev
eral shots at him.
Next day, It was declared, Cort
Schweder was missing from his home
and he was not seen again until Feb.
22 last, when he was recognized on the
street and arrested.
At tho trial before Judge John A.
Caldwell and a jury in Criminal Division,
Eckstein and his son both identified
Schweder as the man who entered their
home. Schweder denied the charge and
declared he had gone to New York to
work. The jury convicted Schweder of
burglary cf an Inhabited dwelling, but
recommended mercy, thereby saving him
from a life sentence In the penitentiary.
He was defended by Attorney John Ren
ner. Assistant Prosecutor Nelson Schwab
represented the State.
