draped garment to the knees. In her
right hand is sword of Justice, and in
the left pair of scales are held up
ward. In one side of the scales will be
silver coin and on the other will be
gold.
The most attractive and prettiest part
of the figure are the curves in the out
lines of the supposed movement of the
back. limbs and feet as she steps toward
the spectator. The figure is supposed
to be in motion with the left foot back
ward, and it makes the pose a most
majestic one. This statue of Justice

v AS A THIEF.
Young FOerstel Who Took His
Own Life in st. Louis.
He Had Enibezz!ed $4,000 OF
the Treasury Funds.

The General Opinion Seems to BE That
He Had Forged His Fathers Name to
Paper Worth Thousands, and, Seeing
the Truth Was Sure to BE Known, Put a
Bullet Into His Brain.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 21.-The burning of
his fathers records and the suicide of
Edward Foerstel, son of the city treas
urer, is still the sensation of the hour.
Young Foerstel died two hours after ht
put the bullet into his brain.
When the treasurer, Foerstel, reached
the office and learned of the fire in the
vaults almost his first words were:
"When Edo comes down we will
count the CT n, although don't think
there was much there"
A few min ties later the bookkeepers
arrived, and it was learned that there
should be little over $l1 900 in TIN
safe.
''Fve sent for Eddie" said the treas
urer, land | think he'll be here in q
minute"
The father was informed of his sons
suicide, but could not believe it, But
later in the day he assisted in the in
vestigation 0. the safes and the records.
1t was found that there was a deficiency
of at least $63, 600 in the treasury funds.
Was II Forger.
A few weeks ago notes for several
thousand dollars, signed "Michael
Foerstei," and held by a man named
Vow, caused local sensation, the treas
urer stating that the signatures were
forgeries. Young Foerstel was charged
with the forgeries, but not prosecuted,
and civil suit was instituted against
the treasurer for the total amount of
the notes. The suits not being pressed,
the circumstance had almost been for
gotten
1t was rumored that on Saturday
last Treasurer Foerstel called his son
into his private Office and accused him
of having been the author of the forger-
les in connection with the Vow notes.
The boy is said to have denied the
charge, and his father, very much ex-
cited and worried over the matter. is
also said to have given Eddie to under
stand that he had sufficient proof to
justify him in dispensing with his serv-
ices in the treasurer's office after Mon
day.
LII also developed that Eddie was in
deep financial straits as the result of
real estate deal
The police can not shake off the sus-
picion that young Foerstel set the fire
that was discovered in time to save the
records. They believe that he laid his
plans to prove an alibi in the case. The
city hall was a total wreck and in the
ruins lay the records of the treasurer's
office.
Young Foersters Methods.
The methods adopted by the suicide
Foerstel in embezzling from the city
treasury were these: Bonds to the
amount of 49, 600 were reported by him
as redeemed, when instead the money
had gone into the defaul.cr's pocket
Bonds to the amount of 1000 were I'M
lawfully hypothecated. The remainder,
SD, 1920. is, was taken from the cash,
checks, etc, passing through his hands.
