ACCUSES TREASURER
Custodian of County Funds Is
Indicted

POMEROY, Ohio, Oct. 26.-This aft

investigating the robbery by alleged
masked men of the county treasury
office of $14,500 here Sept. brought

Chase, the county treasurer, charging
him with embezzlement of that amount.
Mr.. Chase was arrested in his office
and brought into court. The bond was
fixed at $4,000. The prisoner was
placed in custody of the sheriff. 1t is
expected that indictments will be re-
ported tomorrow of those who are
charged as being confederates and who
locked Chase in the vault, where he was
found by his daughter. AS it is gen

IS UNDER CHARGE
OF INcEND|ARISM
But President of Chicago Car
and Locomotive Co. Makes
Vigorous Defense

CHICAGO, Oct. 26-As mysterious
fire at the plant of the Chicago Car
and Locomotive company,s plant at
Hegewiseh, ILL.,, has become the sub
ject of a many-sided Investigation
with sensational results. Corporation
Counsel e. B. Telman today gave out
a statement, which says:
The evidence shows beyond doubt that
the fire was of incendiary origin. The
testimony of the engineer in charge of
the building, together with that of the
former superintendent of the company,
amounted to a direct charge that Isaac
N. Perry the president of the National
Bank Of North America, had become the
owner Of the property through sale under
bankruptcy proceedings; that he had pro-
ceeded to manipulate the books and In
ventories for the purpose of making a
largely increased showing as to the value
of the plant; that he had ordered the IN
surance, then about 100000, to be IN
creased to $500, 200; that he had ordered
all the cars, locomotives and other prop
erty of the company to be stored within
the shops; that he had obtained access
to the shops alone upon Sunday after
noon and that within an hour thereafter
fire had broken out in four of the five
buildings and resulted in the destruction
of two of them.
Mr.. Perry's attorney claimed that Mr.
Perry had been the victim of con-
spiracy; that it being known that he
necessarily spent Sunday at this plant.
fire was planned to take place al a time
when he should be present. and all the
clrcumstantial evidence would connect
him with its origin The attorney also
offered to show that an arrangement was
practically completed for the sale of this
plant for a sum of money larger than the
Insurance and that 500, 900 was deposited
in escrow on account of this contract, and
that Perry therefore had no motive to
commit the crime. We are using every
means within our power to ascertain the
truth.
Said President Perry this afternoon:
The charges against me seem to have
been raised for the purpose Of injuring
my reputation. They may have come
from men who wanted to rule or ruin this
car company and who had failed in their
attempt at the former. [ can conceive of
no other motive for the attack upon me-
There Is no wav in which I could profit
by the destruction of the property The
Insurance, when paid, will go to the com
pany and not to. the bank or me. Our
interest would be best served by the pre-.
servation of the property, not by its de-
Struction.
