CORDREY ARRESTED.
Mrs.l Sophia Mira Charges Him
With False Pretenses.
The Origin of the Trouble and the Man
ner in which oordrey Secured Money
Explained BY the Plaintiff.

The trouble that has SO long been pend
ing in regard TO the National Capital
Savings Building and Loan Society OF
North America with headquarters AZ
Chicago, has reached head. Mrs. Sophia
Mira flled an affidavit some time ago IN
Justice Ringle's court against THOMAS r.
Cordrey, who has been acting as the com
pany,s agent here charging him with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
Constable Slagel has been on the lookout
for the man but has been unable TO ma
him until this morning, when he arrested
him. In the affidavit II is charged that
Cortlrey on January %, came to her resi-
dence and said he was the agent OF tne
company. He stated that he had made
loans 20 36 different parties in the city and
that 10000 was deposited in the tlrst
National bank to meet all loans against
the company. Among the loans he claim
ed to have made, were SlO,OOO TO Bast
Brothers, $4,000 to the Canton Stove COM
pany and $12, 900 tqa milling company IN
East Seventh street. he said tnat ne was
authorized to make loans on property not
to exceed two.thirds of their appraised
value. He then induced the lady, so says
the affidavit, by these false statements
to pay him S2l2 to secure
an 5000 loan, the money
to be paid her on his check within 30 days.
Since that time he has failed to pay her
the money or any part thereon, and de:
spite frequent requests for the return OF
the 1912, he has refused to turn any part
of IL over.
The prisoner was arraigned before jus
tice Ringle this morning and entered
plea of "not guilty" His bail was fixed
at $500.
Cordrey was seen by NEws-DEMoCRAT
reporter this morning and said that he
had collected considerable money here
for loans, and had sent it all to the genet-
al office, and that he was not to blame IN
any way for the trouble. He will be tried
next Wednesday,

THE MAXWELL CASE.
A Motion For Another Continuance Of
the Celebrated Case.
Maxwell Files an Afidsvit in Which He
Sets Forth His Reasons For Asking That
the Trial be Postponed.

As anticipated, another motion for a
continuance has been filed In the case OF
Ohio against DIR. ID. p. Maxwell, under In.
dictment for attempting TO procure an
abortion as a result OF which attempt LII.
lie Bordner died.
Maxwell today through his attorneys
filed an affidavit in support OF the motion
for continuance in which he states bis
reasons for asking for q postponement OF
the case. In bis affidavit he states that
Robert Gully and II. Robertson are inn
portant witnesses and that he has been
unable to serve them with q subpoena
and cannot find them. III given sufficient
time he hopes to get their depositions.
He also alleges that public feeling In the
case has not died out and that II the trial
is is.proceeded with at this term Of court he
will not be able to secure as fair treat
ment as he otherwise would.
=, he states that Gully will testify
that Lille Bordner came to his house
very sick and contracted cold and died
from the effects of this cold. That she
coughed most of the time and yomited a
great deal. Maxwell says further that
Gully will testify that she could not and
would not take any nourishment and re-
fused TO tell her name. That her name
was not known to any member of the fam
ny or to Maxwell until short time before
she died.
Gully, II Is alleged, will also say that he
was called in the room by Maxwell an
hour before Lille died and that she was
then cognizant of the fact that she would
die. She then requested that her body be
sent to Sandyville in the night and that no
one be told about her death but her par.
ents.
Maxwell says that Robertson lived at
Mineral Point three miles from Bordner's
residence and that he will testify that he
was known as a physician and surgeon
and that he had given the deceased Rirl
medicine and had also used instruments
on her.
Without this testimony Maxwell says he
cannot get fair trial and therefore asks
for a continuance.
The case has been assigned for triaI
June 1, and the motion for continuance
will be argued next Monday.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
An Atwater Man Sued for $4,000 by a
Salem Girl.

Miss Emma Stamp of this city has en-
tered suit in the common pleas court of
Portage county, against Fred Mix of At
damages to the amount of 5000. From
the information obtainable it appears
that Mr.. Mix waited upon Miss Stamp for
three years, promised to marry her, and
that the wedding day had been decided
upon, when he suddenly transferred his
affections to another young woman who
ago, without any explanation to Miss
Stamp, married her. Mr.. Mix is said to
be well fixed financially, and has always
borne an excellent reputation, while Miss
Stamps character has always been above
reproach. She has many friends who are
anxious to see her recover the damages
asked for after the manner in which she
has been treated.-[Salem News.
