Portland, made tie following PROPOSE
ton: John G. Leasure of Portland

the officer having him iu charge. The
youth confessed to forging the orders on
Eggert & Young, the shoedea'e ers, and in
Watsoa's check restaurant, because he
was shoeless and hungry, without means
or employment to obtain these neces-
saries. He says that after he awoke to
a realization of what he had done, he
wanted to kill himself, and he is sorry
that he was not successful.
"Hendershott is not natural crimi-
nal," remarked a detective, who is
as close student of human nature as
any man of his calling, ''and here is a
chance for true Christian spirit to come
to the front and do something for boy,
who might not possibly, but may prob
ably yet become good man if some one
would take him in hand. Did my in

turning good man out of this boy who's
had no chance in life, so far"
The defendant, when called in the
municipal court yesterday, had bis
