MCCLURE AND LEWIS
Pair Of Vermont Bank Wreckers Doing Time In
House of Correction

There is apparently good deal
more to Marvin A.. Mcclure than to
G. Henry Lewis. Mcclure secured on
notes of little value some $l47, 000 from
the Merchants National Bank of
Rutland, with the result that the in
stitu ion went to the wall. Mcclure
was a social butterfly, who loved to
sail on purple wings and to be admir-
ed. He gave up his commission as a
lieutenant in the national gaurd of
Vermont to win the silly title OF col
onel in a fraternal organization. He
strutted and was on parade. Lewis
also cut swath. He was the liberal
entertainer and the hail fellow we'll
meet. He aspired to be state treasur-
er and had strong support in the
state convention. He was arranging
to form matrimonial alliance with
widow of great wealth when the bank
of which he was the manager collapsed
as a result of his chicanery. Both
Lewis and Mcclure were sent to the
house OF correction. Whether they
should work or not was optional. Lew
is elected to live in idleness and to eat
the bread furnished by the state with
out giving value received for it. In
other words he has continued in
prison as out of it to play the part of
a sponge. Mcclure on the contrary
although he had never performed
manual labor, insisted on working,
and he has become proficient in box
ing marble. He is not satisfied with
working the regular hours OF the in
stitution from in the morning to in
the afternoon, but continues his work |
in the evening, and keeps busy all the |
time when he is not eating or sleeping. |
Mcclure deserves to be encouraged. |
Perhaps the irrevocable past will not |
be wholly wasted, wholly vain with
him, and that rising on its wrecks at
last to something nobler he will at
tain.

FOR STATUTE REVISION.
John Il. Harvey Of Montpelier and G. ".

Otto Pressprich Brought Here:
From New York
GOT BAIL THIS MORNING
PresSprich Is Under indictment For
Obtaining Money Under False
pretenses

Sheriff Wilson arrived from Ne@
York Thursday evening having in
custody Otto Pressprich who has been
wanted here for some time, having
been indicted by the grand jury at the
last June term of the county court on
the charge of securing money under
false pretenses.
Pressprich came to Pownal several
months ago claiming to represent a
house in New York city who were in
tending to open creamery in that
| town. He interested number of far
mers in the scheme, and it is claimed
induced them TO put in money, which
| would prove to be a good investment
| for them.
After securing the funds he went to
New York, as it was understood to
purchase machinery etc for the cream
cry, but he never came back again.
The complaint and indictment fol- ow-
ed and officers have been looking for
him since. Last month it was repor-
ted that he had been arrested in New
York. Sheriff Wilson started then for
him but when he reached there he
found that Pressprich had left the
city the night before.
Officers have been looking for him
since and he was finally taken into
custody and the sheriff notified. He
accompanied sheriff Wilson hack
without the formality of requisition
papers although the sheriff had them
with him.
Pressprich is accompanied by his
brother who is New York attorney.
The creamery that he was to locate
is standing, equipped with the neees-
sary fixtures, and machinery with a
few exceptions, and all ready for oper
ations.
Pressprich who has retained &c.
Archibald as counsel was before court
this morning and pleaded not guilty
to the indictment which charged him
with procuring $3.50 from three differ
ent men in Pownal.
There is no other indictment against
him. His bail was fixed at $500 which
was furnished by George f. Graves
the collateral in cash being placed
in his hands. No time was set for
his trial. Mr. Pressprich insinuates
that he had no intention of defrauding
the people of Pownal and when it
comes to trial the case promises to be
quite interesting. He and his brother
returned to New York on the noon
train.

BY A VERMONT AUTHOR.
Charles BroCkden Brown" Title of Book BY
N. s. Villas.

Martin $. Villas, well known Bur-
lington lawyer, has written a book the
title OF which is Charles Brockden
Bro"n; study of early American tic-
ton. In the preface Mr. Villas ex-
plains: 1.-THE interest in Charles
Brockden Brown and his works arises
largely from his ranking position
among American prose writer's. Hence
it is not expected that an estimate
somewhat extended and somewhat crit
ical of his writings is likely to become
popular. No other than this, save
very brief sketches of Brown and of
what he has done, is known to the
writer. 1t may be then that a student
of American literature will find in this
book written five years ago something
suggestive, perhaps something usually
called original"
Mr. Villas states the fact clearly in
these words and has abundant reason
to hope for the interest and commenda.
tion OF the very class of readers for
whom his book is intended. His style
is clear, concise and unaffected. He
has happy turn for expressive phra-
ses at times, and in the preparation of
his book has plainly brought to his
aid mind we'll versed in the subject
of American and English literature
and the faculty of critical discrimina-

RUTLAND MANS DISCOVERY
Has New Waterproof Material Which is Re
ported Valuable,

Rutland, Dec IA new process for
interpreting cloth, canvass and like
fabrics has been invented by G. L.
Stewart of this city. The material
used is thick, neutral, adhesive liq-
uid which dries in about "a hours to q
soft, rubbery, elastic solid that never
changes but remains soft and pliable.
1t is not affected by potash, acids or
boiling water and can be sterilized in
any way.
Mr. Stewart claims that cloth pre-
pared with this material is absolutely
waterproof and has no unpleasant
odor, is not greasy or sticky in hot
weather or stiff in cold weather. This
liquid is applied to cloth by means of
machine with a set of rollers.
