W. B. SLOAN, DRUGGIST, IN JAIL.
With Forty Indictments Against Him He
Was a Fugitive.
William B. Sloan, a druggist at Ninth street and Brighton avenue, against whom the grand jury in the criminal court returned forty indictments three weeks ago, was arrested last night by Martin Roos, a deputy county marshal. After the indictments were returned against him for selling liquor on Sunday, Sloan went to the home of his father at 50 Clifton street, Kansas City, Kas. A fugitive warrant had been issued by the Kansas authorities and preparations had been made to extradite Sloan when he returned to Missouri and remained in hiding. He was taken to the county jail last night and will remain there until released on bond.
Sloan has been fined in police court several times for selling liquor illegally. Each case was appealed to the criminal court, where only one case has been tried. In that case a jury fined him $500 and it is now on appeal to the Kansas City court of appeals.
