LAST DOLLAR TO PAY HIS FINE.
A Paterson Lnberer Squanders His
Inheritance I'm Two Years

PATERSON, y. J., Sept. 20-In a Pater-
son police court, yesterday, Patri>k Smith
paid. as a fine the last dollar of a fortune
of s45, coo inherited less than two years
1 ago. He was a laborer, seldom earning
more than a dollar a day, and living in a
tenement near the Erie Railway tracks,
I in Paterson, when the legacy came TO him,
as an amazing surprise, from the death of
al uncle whose very existence he had for
gotten.
When he and his wife finally found
themselves in actual possession of the
money their first move was 10 go to a
finer home and then they began at once
to spend their money. They engaged ser
wants, took expensive trips, amused them
selves by driving up and down the city, f.
rally bought carriage of their own, and
spent large amounts on dress. They en-
tertained their old friends lavishly. Monta
by month their expenses grew and their
money melted by thousands. Smith. hay-
ing Eo work of any kind to occupy his
time. spent much of it in saloons.
Before the acquiring of his fortune he
had been a very moderate drinker but
prosperity was too much for him He rot
only began to drink heavily. but began to
gamble as we'll Although husband and
: vile CDuAu uOL ste just NHSfe dll luE Hull
ey went, and although they could not see
that they were getting S45, 900 Of satisfac-
tion from it, the fortune began TO disap-
pear like a piece CT ice under hot sun.
| The realization of this fact made Smith
drink all the harder, and, of course, his
money melted the more rapidly.
Quarrels between husband and wife, it
is said, next became frequent. They had
been happy in their humble days. Now,
in the midst of riches. and in their new
character of people of wealth and fashion,
they were miserable. On Monday, Smith
received an APPALLING notice from his bank.
He had drawn out every dollar of his ac-
count fierce quarrel between himself
and his wife ensued, and then Smith put
on his hat and went out into the street.
He had SIS in his pocket-ali that was
left of the fortune of $4,000. He visited
several saloons, and toward midnight be-
came gloriously intoxicated. He went up
and down the streets, shouting and howl
ing and was arrested. He was a sobered
individual when he faced the police justice
yesterday morning His fine suit of clothes
was torn and soiled His face was hag-
gard. He had no defence to offer, and was
fined ST.
He fumbled in his pocket, found just 81,
the last of his fortune. handed it to the
clerk, and walked from the court. His
wife. dry-eyed, and miserable, was waiting
for him. and the two went away together
to resume their old life and forget that
for a time they had been people of wealth

millions of dollars, and which has recently

Hillman Company, near the yard of the

new company is to have at it's head
Charles D. Cramp, who for many years
occupied the post of purchasing agent and
head bookkeeper for the Cramp Company
This statement could not be confirmed to-
day, for the reason that Charles D.. Cramp
would not talk, but the fact that he was
experimenting the removal and disposal of
goods at the Hii1man yard makes the ru-
nor appear credible. >'7s

COMMON PERJURERS

On March cath last, Lloyd Tevis,
capitalist residing in San Francisco,
made oath that his entire property
consisted Of S2S,336-in cash, ST.
877-in solvent credits, and $50. $50
in furniture, jewelry, paintings, equip
age, etc; total valuation 500, s63.
Later in the year Mr.. Tevis died
and for some reason left his coin,
credit and chattels behind him. An
Inventory of his estate, filed for pro
bate, show ed a total valuation of S.
III ,o6o; in other words Mr.. Tev!s had
lied to God and man just 1904, 500
worth and certainly it is pretty tall
lying when a mans properly proves
to be 81 times greater than the fl ure
stated by him under oath.
Thus it appears that Mir. Lloyd
Tevis, the highly respected million
aire of San Francisco, who had a pew
in church close up near the altar, was
plain. ordinary perjurer. But these
revelations surprise no n who ever
knew Tevis in his life time. He
amassed his wealth by these methods
He would not pay a debt to a type
writer if he could avoid it and O.
course he thought nothing Of a per
Jury If he could beat the tax asses
sor and thereby shift the burdens OF
taxation on the shoulders Of other
people.
But Tevis is not as bad as a fellow
named Chas. J. Gehlow, who passed
away recently in San Francisco. He
swore a few months before he died to
a property valuation Of 5000. His
estate when appraised showed SIS4,-
500.
Now there is a very simple way to
circumvent these slippery fellows who
per ure themselves to escape tax
alton.
Enact a law that the difference be.
tween the last property valuation they
swear to and the amount the estate
fsots VI when appraised, shall es-
cheat to the State. This would check
that sort of business in very short
order,
The millionaire, in returning his
statement OF property valuation would
be continually haunted by the knovl
edge that by a false return OF his
property he was practically deciding {
lot of it to the State if he swore false.
ly and died within the year.
The Sacramento Bee figures ou'
that Tevis stole about $4,000 a yea
from the State during his lifetime by
the rankest kind Of perjury. Why
cannot the State Ct California sue tn,
Tevis estate and recover the bacl
taxes.
