ling Skips, Out for Parts
Unknown.

La SALE, H.. f, Jan. IL. e. j. Wall. OF
Ottawa, one OF the best known attorneys Of
this vicinity. has turned ont to.be iorger
and embezzler, and has made his presence
scarce. He bod heretofore borne a good
reputation, as considered man OF pro-
fsssiona ability, and had many friends and
influential corrections that secured him
prestige and Il lucrative practice.
THE STORY OF HIS DISGRACE
Is reported as follows: ABOUT two years
ago Mrs. Margaret Cushman, miiliner
OF Ottawa, gave him 50, 300 to loan out at
interest. He returned her notes from three
diheren, parties for the money secured by
mortgages on alleged valuable real estate.
The interest was paid promptly at the ex-
piration OF the fret year, but at the end
OF the second was not forthcoming. Mrs.
Cuslman soon after put the matterI1in the
hands Of T. w. Crane, also an Ottawa at.
torney, who on examining the securities
found that the names on the notes had
been either forged or we're fictitious, the
signatures to the mortgages being Of the
same character as we're also the Recorders
signatures.
Wall WAS apprised Of the fact that his
crookedness had been discovered and in
formed that the immediate refunding OF
the money would alone save him from pros
tcuton. State Senator j. W. Duncan, his
partner, and NJ. White, a hotel man, OF
Ottawa, procured the money for Mrs.
eastman and
SETTLED TIE NATTER.
But there was more TO follow. The affair
was rumored about and 1t reached the ears
OF John Smith, an Ottawa lsborer, who
short time previous had furnished Wall
with 81, 900 to invest for him. He had bis
securities examined and found them to be
Of the same nature as Mrs. Cashman's.
This require another check from the loan
brokers's friends. Subsequently. third
claimant, Charles Waldron, a farmer living
near Utica, and who had Wall act az attor.
ney 10 the settlement Of his M other,s es-
tate, came forward with a note and mort.
gage for 800 OF the same old type. Friends
still stood by him, but the end was not
yet.
fourth person has now appeared on the
scene, who declares his intention OF getting
Wallis scalp first aud securing bis money
afterwards, II he can. Friends could not

for parts unknown.

grace various minor often es Of long stand.
