Tom Mccoy, Of Taylorstown, Is Arrested
and Held for Court. ~
Tom Mccoy, better known as ...scot-
ty,"'f has furnished Taylorstown, the
headquarters Of ono Of the largest sec
tions Of the Washington county oil
field, with another sensation. 2 ""Scotty"
furnished his first: sensation about two
months ago when late at night and in
midst Of a driving rainstorm, he eloped
with Miss Mary Murphy, the buxom
daughter OF the worthy dame who keeps
a boarding house z near the 4 B. y &
O.s,a.ioa /: at - Taylorstown. His 4 last
sensational performance was to i cut
aud ruin q inch drilling cable, 800
feet long, and be arrested for it. Z Scotty,
after his return from his elopement,3 was
desirous, apparently, OF going to work
and earning the 5wherewithal[ to keep
himself aud bride. He was engaged BY
Ed. Murphy to work Z as a tool dresser,
He was "a novice and as "a matter OF
course had to learn the business before
be could command 4 full ,wages;i but
scotty3 did not ! look a;atI Ithe 1, matter
in - this ss lights He & wanted 5 full
wages, andHll failing Il to y gel: them
quit work. The evidence at the pre-
liminary hearing he was given was, that
after leaving Murphy, Scotty declared he
would get even with Il him If y he had
to burn a astig5 plug q hole The evi
dence is that he got even by slashing the
$500 foot cable while a.it lay at the ,Tay.
lorstown station so that it was rendered
useless; the cable wns worth about $500
Scotty was suspected 5 and !, his I case
placed in the hands Of "a detective!w who
gained scotty's friendship and got hiu
to come to this city ior a few days t
visit him While here in wheeling tht
detective proposed that they start 4

It was then that Scotty divulged how h,

all this money was paid out by the city
without the approval gof3 Council, al
though the laws Of the State of Ohio re.
quire that every claim; be included In

lication creates a great sensation. si$ ii.9 y,
Nearly a year; ago, the City Council
authorized the Board Of Revision 10 ex.
anime the booka relating to the city's
financial history. It was necessary in
tue prosecution Of the work to look over
the books Ia the City Treasurer's office,
and the disclosures made were. startling
In the extreme. These were hinted at
In the report Of the experts to the Board
OF Revision. When the latter made
their report 10 the Board Of Councilmen,
however, slight, II any reference was
made TO them. The experts signed the
report to the Board Of Councilmen under
protestant onlyafter 1t had represented
70 them that these Irregularities had been
Investigated before.
& Last night Julius Lembeck, one OF the
experts, sent the council a Communica.
ton yasking that his name be stricken
from the record, saying that he had
been tinduced to sign sthe same under
false representations that tho former re.
port In question was not complete; that
glarihg Irregularities had occurred and
that II given access to tho books again
no would make full exposure free Ii OF
