THE RECORDER SHORT.
Frank Helms Bondsmen Have a
Meeting

yesterday 1t was announced that Frank
Helm was short in his accounts in the
neighbOrhOod of S76O. At 2 O'Clock there
John Wagner, Edmund James, John
~ifosser, Abe Cohn and John Myers were
among the number.
The fact that there was a shortage came
out from the fact that ALT Chartz had a
Judgment against the estate of Mary Nc
Donald for about $500, and although more
than that amount of money ought to be
in the hands Of the Administrator. Frank
Helm, Mr.. Chartz was unable to collect
his money. Day before yesterday he
served a notice on Alex MCGOWAN. the
Attorney of the Estate, that he would
call the Administrator into court and
compel him to show cause why the
money should not be paid.
Helm said the money was in the Bank
but yesterday admitted to his Attorney
that he was unable to produce it. The
news spread rapidly and by ? O'Clock his
bondsmen held a meeting.
This is Helms second case of SHORTAGE
he having been 800 behind in his ac-
counts when working for John Kersey.
who was Tax Collector.
This was fixed up and he was then
elected County Recorder, running as an
independent candidate. He was elected
by a good majority despite the fact that
his shortage with Kersey was generally
known.
His trouble came about mainly
through gambling. He was an ~inyeter-
ate poker player and when losing would
become reckless to a degree. If he won
he generally spent it on a good time.
The shortage was divided among three
estates. The Frazer estate was $50. the
ellison estate about $500 and the balance
from the Mcdonald estate, the shortage
amounting in all three to $3.50.
At the meeting yesterday the bonds
men placed Alfred Helm, Franks father.
in the office with the understanding that
he should turn owe Sl25a month to the
bondsmen until the amount was paid,
The shortage will be made good by the
bOndSmen tO-da-.
