EmbpZZIemeut.
Enbezzlenent.

Dover, Del, April p The Grand
Jury brought in two true bills for en-
bezzement and embezzlement as bailee
against John D Hawkins, for Secretary
nf State If Delaware. Hawkins is al
legged to have secured loan OF $500

a Mr.. Hutchinson of Kenton, Del. 1t

the object of the loan.

ed plea of not guilty and was commit

THE STATE
LAVENDER BUSY WITH
CASE AGAINST MOORE
Duck Creek Hundred Man Works
Hard to Prepare Prosecution
of the Union Republicans.

Smyrna, Del, April 24.-The most
active man in Smyrna is Wilson I.
Cavender, ex-senator, member Of the
late Constitutional Convention, and ex-
posed object for almost any kind of
Democratic lightning that may skirt the
political skies. The cause for this activity
is fact that it will be necessary for Cav
enden to prepare, between this time and
Friday next in the foreman, the prose-
cution OF the case against DR.. Thomas G.
Moore, charged with using money to in
fluence voters at the last general election.
DIR. Moore demanded a hearing and At
torney General White not being ac
quainted with the evidence alleged to
have been gathered by Cavender was
unable to grant the hearing until next
Friday. 1t is said that Attornsy General
White will conduct the case with the as
sistance of Cavender only. Deputy
Attorney General Peter L. Cooper, Jr.,
has not as yet figured in the case. The
information was drawn up by Mr.. White
and Cavender.
Contrary to report DIR. Moore feels
toward the pending case, quite different
| ly than he did when arrested last fall.
The. manifestation of persecution is SO
pronounced that Cavender, with his po.
litical aspirations and ambitions, is the
subject Of pity among the men of his
own party. DIR. Moore observes this and
feels confident that Fridays hearing be.
fore Magistrate Cooper Of this place, will
demonstrate that Lavender has not giveI
the state a case.
The motive for Cayender's interest il
prosecuting DIR. Moore again remains the
same. Cavender is politically ambitious
He wants to be Governor of Delaware
Success as so-called reformer he be
lieves would ingratiate him in the heart
Of his fellow Democrats, and he woule
become strong candidate against Pete
j. Ford or any other Democrat wht
might have the nerve to apply to a Dem
ocratic State Convention for such po
sition of sacrifice. And to win all thi

in a car load of hogs yesterday and
maintained the reputation of that locality
for top hogs. They went to Dold for
$5.O211.

had the stove moved out of his office
yesterday.
Al Spencer weaned his F. R. Russell
colt yesterday, and sent 1t to the coun-

as fine hogs to Wichita as fhe ever saw
