MESSENGER
FORCES CHECK AND ELOPES
Eighteen-year-old Leonard
Gets Over $4,000 and Dis
appears With Girl

New York, Oct. 16.-Haslrins & Sells
certified public accountants. asked the
local police to send ont a general alarm
for Clarence H. Leonard, Is years of
age, of East Orange. N. j., a messenger
employed by the firm. 1t is alleged
that Leonard forged two checks, one
of $500 and the other for S2,276,
upon the nrm name, on two local
banks, presented them at the banks
and collected the money. He is said
to have secured the money last Tues
day at noon and to have disappeared
Immediately afterward. 1t is also
eaid that a young woman living in
East Orange disappeared at the same
time. Leonard had been attentive to
her, and the supposition of the bank
officials and the police is that they
have eloped. Leonard comes from a
prominent family of East Orange and
had the full confidence of his employ
ers.
It was part Of Leonard's duties as
messenger to make deposits and to
draw money for current uses of the
firm from the banks. He was we'll
known at the banks, and there was
no question when the checks were pre-
sented for payment. The forgery is
considered to be clever work, and the
bank officials say, was undoubtedly
traced. The discovery was made, how
ever, in one of the banks almost imme-
diately after the check had been cash
ed there.

of South Carolina as none other has
in the last quarter Of century. The
jury was out for 20 hours before ar
rlying at a verdict
Not a sound had emenated from the
Jury room when Judge Gary convened
court to indicate that an agreement
had been reached. Civil business was
taken up, and more than an hour had
elasped before a knock was heard on
the door leading into the Jury room.
Judge Gary directed the bailiff to as
certain If an agreement had been
reached, and word came that the jury
had determined upon a verdict. Not
all the attorneys had come in when
the court asked if thcre would be any
objection to having the verdict an
rounced without waiting, calling atten-
ton to the strain so apparent through
out the room. No objection was Of
fered.
Gentlemen, have you agreed upon
verdict?" was the time-worn inquiry
then made by the clerk. The fore
man replied in the affirmative, and at
the same time handed the verdict to
the clerk. Il took but an instant to
read it, and when the words mot
guilty" were heard. some of the friends
of the defendant gave vent to their
feelings in a shout. though the court
had previously admonished those pres
cnt not to make any demonstration.
The motion by counsel for the de-
Tense for the discharge Of the defend
ant was Immediately signed by Judge
Gary, the solicitor asserting, and Till.

formalities had been gone through

and shook hands with the judge, after
which he shook the hand of each
Of the jurors, and later was surround

congratulations.
After the verdict was announced
the clerk held up the pistols which had
figured in the trial and offered then
to the defendant. who waved them of

"They are not mine" Continuing
Mr.. Tiilman said:
Il feel very grateful at the resul

Mobile. Ala, oct. 16.-The Norwe-
gian steamer Ellida was caught in o
seismic disturbance, September 20 IA
miles off the Cuban shore, and the
shock was so severe that it threw the
men from their berths and knocked
all quite violently about. Captain re
torsen says the engines were running
full speed and everything was all
right. The water there is from lzOO
to 400 fathoms deep. There were no
other vessels in sight Suddenly, with
no warning whatever the Ellida seem
ed to have run aground. She quiv-
cred and creaked, her propeller was
out of water, and it seemed as though
the steamer was constantly rising on
the crest OF a hidden reef. Then IN
the twinkling of an eye she seemed
TO drop into a deep chasm. After the
second shock, however, the experience
ceased. The next day the Ellida ar
rived at Santiago. and it was lelarned
that the shock at sea occurred not
more than five minutes after the shock
on shore. .
