Gregory Allen, young white man of St. Paul, is to appear before Recorder J.D. Canady in St. Paul this afternoon to answer to charges of stealing a Dodge sedan in Washington on the 9th.

Allen was released from jail here yesterday afternoon as the result of habeas corpus proceeding before Judge N.A. Sinclair in Fayetteville yesterday. Sheriff B.F. McMillan arrested Allen Saturday afternoon in St. Paul and brought him to jail here, after he had received a telegram from Washington authorities to arrest him and hold him for their officers. Bond in the sum of $2,500 was required for his appearance.

Allen claims that he bought the car and can show title to same. It was rumored here that Allen had attached to the car a tank from which he had been dispensing liquor, but the officers could find no such tank, and no charges of that nature have been brought.

Allen is said to have been arrested in Washington some time ago on the charge of stealing an automobile. He is a son of Mr. Joe Allen, a well-to-do farmer who lives near St. Paul.
