D. H. LEWIS is TALKING.
Says the Defunct Farmers National
Bank owes Him Several Thousand
. Dollars-Discusses the Chances of
ketrbuy,o and 4 ia,,4 CoN AIIon

ketehum and Lieut.-Gov. Allen.
d. II. Lewis ex-cashier who was sem
fenced last week to seven years impris-
onment in the house of correction for fall
styling the accounts of the defunct Farm
ers National bank of Vergennes, is dis
regarding the advice of his counsel, ex-
Congressman II. II. Powers, not to talk
for publication. He says his nerves are
already wrecked because he is not allowed
to smoke in the house of correction. To
newspaper man on Thursday he said:
II have decided my best course was to
come forward and make a clean breast
of It, l therefore pleaded guilty to fall
styling the banks books, and my counsel,
Congressman Henry II. II. Powers made
clear statement of the case. I have not
word to add or to take from Mr.. Pow
erss remarks. He told the facts just
as they were. I have more than made
restitution to the bank In fact they are
owing me today several thousand dollars
back salary. I put many, many dollars
more in the bank than l took out. In
view of these eXtenuating circumstances
] thought the court would give me about
3 years. I'm almost SO years old and when
l am released in five years and ten
months I'll be almost an old man.
He smiled rather sadly as he spoke.
The year and two months of the seven
year sentence is for good behavior. Mr..
Lewis went on to speak of the attachment
of his personal property in favor of the
bank and reiterated that he thought his
actions and these facts would have
weight with the court. But" he said,
81 understand the judge gives them all
seven years. referring to the sentences
of Charles w. Mussey and Marvin A.
Mcclure who were given that penalty by
Judge Wheeler for completely in wreck
ing the Merchants National bank of
Rutland.
When asked If he should take up some
special line of study to make the time
pass quickly during his confinement he
said: Il don't know what l shall do I'm
sure I haven't made up my mind just
what I'll do while here and you know as
much as I what I'll do when I'm re-
leased" Mr.. Lewis was apparently in
| terested in the other men indicted for
completely in wrecking the Vergennes
bank and expressed a wonder whether
Lieut.. Gov. Allen would come to trial or
not.
He would say no more but evnced no
desire to withdraw his first statement.
"Ketchum," he said II understand has
engaged an expert criminal lawyer from
New York but that won't make any diff
ference any more than 1t did with me-"
Mr.. Lewis's room is shared by two other
prisoners owing to the crowded con-
dition of the institution.
