and the Arkansas visitors, whose trip
was for the purpose of identifying him,
took place in Sheriff Raves office.

Don't you know me?" was the first
sautation.

the prisoner.

your scheme?"

as not being yours?"
Il can't tell. She's an excitable wo-
man."

rie Pryor that you wanted her to go
into an insurance swindle with you?"

ready has talked too much. but he is
reported to have said to fellow pris-
oners at the jail:
The officers have not thing on
which to convict. A mans intention
does not mean that he may be con-
victed."

Pathetic Stories of Investors Who Had
Faith in the Association.
New York City.-Some pathetic sto-
ries of financial straits are being told
by shareholders in the now insolvent
Anglo-American Savings and Loan AS
sociation, which incidentally throw
some light ON the associations meth.
ods
In 1895 resident of Washington
borrowed $250G from the association,
buying at the same time $2500 of it's
stock. On his loan he paid five per
cent. interest, and in addition five per
cent. Of what the company called "pre'
miums" He also paid on the install.
ment plan for his stock. Altogether
these payments amounted TO about
$3.50 year. Up to this time the man
mas paid in $2700, yet he still owes the
entire $250O that he borrowed, and has
paid for only $1100 of his stock. This
shareholder complains further that.
though he was told he would receive
ten per cent. interest on his stock, he
never received dollar of it.
The Secretary of Morayian church
in Pennsylvania recently wrote to the
receivers here, and asked that all COM
munications relating to the shares held
by his father or his sister should bc
sent to him. He asked this. he ex-
planned, because he had kept his fam
lily in ignorance of the calamity to the
association, and had paid their interest
out of his own pocket rather than risk
the shock to his father. who was blind
and an invalid, and had invested all
his savings in the association.
