BREcKENR1DeE GUILTY.
Defnulting Secretary of Perpetual
Building ana Loan Will Go TO the


Building and Loan Will Go to the
Pen.
Waterloo. April IA. I. Breckin-
ridge. the defaulting secretary Of the
Perpetual Building & Loan Association.
was taken before Judge Blair when.
court convened yesterday and. thru his
attorneys, Mullan 6 Pickett, the former
plea of not guilty was Withdrawn and a
plea entered OF guilty" Breckenridge
was attended in court by members of
his family, but at no time did he show
any emotion or remorse.
The action taken by Mr.. Breckenridge
Is said to have been decided upon be-
tween the prisoner. members of his
family and his attorneys several days
ago, but 1t came nevertheless as cons
plete surprise to the prosecuting attor
neys. The opinion was general that a
strong defense would be made by Breck-
inrtdge's counsel on the grounds Of in
sanity OF their client. 1t is known be-
You'd contradiction that such defense
was considered.
When the intention. OF Breckinridge
became known to County Attorney
Reed he asked that IL the prisoner plead
guilty 1t be the blanket Indictment COW
ering the total amount of the embezzle-
ments from the association, which were
$19,334.n. This was agreed to by Null
Ian & Pickett, and the plea was entered.
The plea OF guilty to the blanket in
dictment practically disposes OF all the
indictments against Breckenridge and
the county Is saved the expense Of
what would surely prove a costly trial
and the family are spared disclosures
OF sensational and diSgraccful char
acter that must have attended an ex-
animation on the theory Of insanity.
For all parties the course taken by
Breckenridge is to be commended.
The sentencing of the prisoner was
postponed to the end OF the present
term OF court. Endorsement comes
within the same class as grand larceny
the maximum sentence being Ave
years. II only one Indictment is taker
& into consideration his term OF sentence
can not be extended over that period
It Is rumored that the attorneys viii
make a strong showing Of the insanity
OF their client in plea for clenlencs
of the court at the time when sentence
Ia passed. The impression Is genera
that the aggravated offense OF Breck.
enridge will call for the maximum
sentence. but in this event good be.
havior would reduce the sentence Il
three and a third years.
