Think INNOCENT MAN
SENTENCED TO TEN YEARS
Albert Steiner Claims That
His Conviction Is Case of
Mistaken Identity

Trenton, N. j., Oct. 5.-Omcials Of
the American Bridge company are in
teresting themselves in the case Of
Albert Steiner, a former employe,
who went under the name of Charles
Lewis. and who was sentenced to a
term Of 10 years in the Massachusetts
state prison at Charleston. Steiner
claims that his arrest and conviction
is one of mistaken identity, and the
omcials OF the bridge company here
are inclined to believe his story.
An investigation win be made at
once. and II Steiner's story is found
TO be true an effort viii be made tc
secure his pardon.
Up to August % Steiner was emi
pIoyed at the American Bridge Works
ia this city. On the latter date he
drew $3.50 on account and went
away for a few days trip. The next
heard Of him was a letter to J. Henry
Klein. the company's paymaster. say
Ing he had been arrested on August
% on a charge OF highway robbery
alleged to have been committed on
August IS. on which day Steiner, &C
cording to the company's records
was working in Trenton. Steiner re
quested an affidavit from Mr.. Klein
Getting forth this fact. The affidavit
! was sent, but Steiner writes back
that before the affidavit reached hin
the 10 years sentence was imposed
despite his plea for delay. Steinei
claims also that the sentence was
made heavy because of other offense.
which he was alleged to have com
mitted.
Steiner is 60 years Of age and o.
frail build. and the American Bridge
company officials here do not believe
him capable of having committed
highway robbery. It is not known
here where in Massachusetts, the
crime is alleged to have been com
mitted.

Il is probable that one trophy, and

who have heard of the plan have asked
the privilege of putting up trophies,
but as yet none of these requests have
been accepted.
Managers OF the three teams have
considered the matter and know ex-
actly what it means to them. In fact,
they have practically decided to enter
the contest, for each believes that the
honor belongs TO his team. and is ready
to back up his belief.
