Sentenced to Ten Years for Embex
element.

In the United States District Court at
Winona Minn. The grand jury presented
four indictments against Douglas Wander
hoof for clnbezzlcment of money from the
First National bank, st. Paul. He was ar
rail:scd at the bar and pleaded guilty to one
United States District Attorney D. B. Searles
then addressed the court, recountins the
manner and times Of the embezzlements so far
as is known, and said while he felt great
sympathy for the relatives and friends of the
prisoner, he had no sympathy whatever for
man SO lost to every sense Of honor as to
betray the confidence Of his employers as
EanderllOof had done while occupying
responsible position As book keeper III their
bank. 1t was known that the amont
Of his embazzlemcnts reached $50, 600 and it
was believed that they would approximate

At the conclusion of his remarks Mr.. C. D..
Strong. the father -in-law of Vanderhoof adj
dressed the court in an ernest and pathetic
appeal for leniency in passing sentence upon
the prisoner. He reviewed his past history
from his earliest acquaintance with him
down to the present time, feelillgly alluding
to the trouble his indiscretion lad brought
upon innocent parties. Mr.. Strong spoke
for about half all hour, the court room,
which was crowded, being hushcd to still
hess by his heartfelt appeal.
When he had concluded, Judge Nelson pro-
cec.led to pass sentence, saying III substance:
l have known you for many years in the
community where you have grown fr~nl
youth to manhood. In guilty moment
you have committed a aserious crime. You
betrayed the confidence reposed in you by a
national bank of st. Paul, where you held Il
responsible position. You e,nbezzled the
money belonging to this corporation and
have incurred the penalty of violated law
You had peculiar advantages for perpetrat-
ing this crime. For years You had enjoyed
confidential relations with the chief mana
ger Of this association and they had no
doubt ofyour integrity. You had every in
ducement to lead an honest life. You had
faithful and loving wife who relied OH You
You were revcred and loved by children 1t
is distressing to think. that, casting aside all
these influences to honest livelihood, in one
guilty moment you destroyed your repllta-
ton, disgraced your family, and forfeited
at hard labor in the penitcntiary at Stillwa-
ter.
After sentence was pronounced Wander
lloof was taken in charge by the sheriff and
returned to thejail. He says his sentence is
harder than he had anticipated, as in view
Of his having returned 10 the bank some
$40, coo the funds embczzicd, heha,l hoped
that his imprisonment would be limitc;l to
five years. He had invested the stolc,,
fundsin business enterprises uf various kinds;
$50, 900 III one place, 81, 900 III another and
80 ON, besides using much Of it in fast iy-
ing.

An Cnlucky Postmaster.

In the United States court of Winona,
Mimi, on Thursday last, Charles II. Slocum
was aaraigned on two indictments, one fot
unlawful detention of letter in the post
office at Blue Earth City while in the EN-
ploy of the government as postmaster, and
the other for elnbezz'ing the contents of the
same. TO the first indictment he pleaded
guilty. The prisoner made plea in his
own behalf to the court, stating that last
tall a man named Giblin, living III Iowa,
sent letter containing draft to a maj,
named Dolan at Blue Earth City. The &C.
cused, in his capacity as postmaster, deliver
ed the letter to another person of a similar
name, who forwarded it to relative that
had removed from Blue Earth City. This
latter party returned the letter and draft to
the postmaster at Blue Earth City, as OF,
opening he found it was not intended fol
him. The accused continuing said
he placed the letter with the
draft in private drawer among valuable
papers for safe keeping until it should BIZ
called for, and was unaware that Dolan had
made frequent inquiry for the letter. He
stated that he had no intention of appropri'
ating the draft to his own use. Healluded to
his previous good character as substantiated
by list of prominent citizens of the state
which he submitted to the court, and con.
cluded his appeal by imploring leniency.
Mr. Slocum was completely overcome and
gave way to tears as he closed. Judge Mel.
son after alluding to his violation of the
postal laws thereby rendering himselfan,en.
able to punishment, said there were circunl.
stances surrounding the case which would
cause the court i'll its discretion to sentence
him to pay fine of $3.50, and be committed
to the Winona county Jail for thirty days.
