"HAVE FAITH"
"Rev." w. II Whitelaw So
Wrote to His Victim.
The Former Good Thunder Preacher and
Druggist Accused Of Stealing a
Cripple's Little Legacy.

William b. Whitelaw, at one time a
Baptist minister, and later druggist at
Good Thunder, Mimi, is alleged to
have victimized James German, fell
low-inmate of the Hennepin county
poor farm, to the extent of $145. Cor
man has been a cripple from infancy
and a pauper. The money was his
share of an estate of relative, and
the only money the old man had pos
session of for years. The police were
notified of the crime but have failed
to get any clue of Whitelaw.
Whitelaw was once very respect
able citizen. About five years ago he
became hayward and was forced to
leave his ministry. He then entered
the drug business but drank heavily
and failed. Three years ago he went
to..Minneapolis and since then his fall
has.been rapid, says the Minneapolis
Journal. Last winter he was COM
mitted to the poor farm, a pauper and
sufferer from disease brought on by
the use of liquor. AS he recovered
from his illness he secured the respect
and confidence of the inmates because
of his learning and ability to talk
James German has been cripple all
his life and incapacitated for work.
He lived at the poor farm for several
years. About five weeks ago he re-
ceived a check for $145, as his share
of the estate of relative who had re-
Gently died. 1t was the first money
German had had for years, and he de-
sired to invest it in some small bust
ness so that it might bring in a re-
turn. Whitelaw offered to come to
Minneapolis and make all arrange
ments for opening the business, which
they decided should be cigar and
tobacco shop. German intrusted his
check to Whitelaw, who came to Min
neapolis and rented small building
on Plymouth avenue, paying $40 rent
in advance. The receipt for this he
sent to German He enclosed note
saying that he had been on drunk
and that he had left town to recuper-
ate, but that German should ''have
faith in God and trust in the reverend
Whitelaw." The letter was written
on train, probably as the man was
leaving the city.
DR.. J. W. Mcdonald, who has offices
in the Masonic Temple, has known
Whitelaw for about three years. Some
time ago he loaned him $50, taking
therefor mortgage on small piece
of property in Florida consisting of
twenty acres and a house DR.. Nc
Donald will foreclose the mortgage but
is anxious to have the unfortunate
German claim inserted, so that the |
cripple may recover his money.
