The subject OF this brief sketch was
born in Highland county, Ohio, coming
west in his youth. For his life-work
he chose the medical profession, grad
uating from the St. Louis Medical Col
lege in 1857. Thence he removed to
Walnut Hill, ILL.,, and shortly after to
this Valley. and two years later mar
ried Miss Frances Russell, who sur

his family to Bessville, Bollinger

fession until the time of his decease.
Of his marriage were born eight chill

daughters, survive. The eldest, n. G.
Griffith, Jr., is now resident of Fred

happily married, and the other chill
dren are living with their mother at

Butler. pleaded guilty to a charge OF
using the mails in a scheme to defraud
in the United States District Court yes
terday. The strangest part of the
proceeding, however, is that the fraud
with which he is charged was COM
mitted while in Jail at Ironton, Mo.
| By his genius he is said to have Sc
cured from Chicago a consignment OF
scientific books, on credit, to read
while IN Jail. His trial, however, was
| not finished yesterday. He told such
a pathetic story about taking this
method to secure books by which to
educate himself that Judge Adam9 was
inclined to listen to him, and he ORDER
ed the marshal to bring Mrs. Lake,
sister of the prisoner, who lives at
Spencer. Lawrence county, Mo, into
court next Friday to hear her testi-
mony in the case. Westerfeld's meth
ods of conducting his schemes have
been among the most clever and dar-
ing of any with whom the federal au-
thorities have had to deal. More than
year ago the GlO6e-DemOcrat gave an
expose of his schemes. He had lot
OF letterheads printed, purpOrting to
be for the Orphans Home and School
of Rondout, \. Y. They also stated
that the school was 'nOn-sectarian,'

ers and secured consignments of books
on promises to pay that were not full
filed. He was arrested at hotel at
Mineral Point, about year and half
ago. by Deputy Sheriff Nall, while
awaiting a consignment of books. He
was sentenced to eighteen months in
Jail for this Offense, ard while in Jail
committed the fraud with which he is
now charged, and for which he was
arrested on Thursday by Deputy Mar
shal Nall and Post Office Inspector
McAfee, just as his sentence in Jail had
expired. He said yesterday that he
didn't mean to do anything wrong this
time, but had some of the letterheads
left, and they constituted the only pa
per he had to write on. The books
were delivered to him at the Jail. al
though they had not been consigned to
that institution. Westerfeld was first
arrested at Spencer, Mo, about four
years ago en- a charge of using the
mails to obtain plates on which to
print counterfeit money, and served q
