AUGUSTA MAN is
ALLEGED DEFAULTER
Indicted for Embezzlement From
Building Loan Association.
FAST LIVING CAUSED SHORTAGE
Was Prominent in Business and
Church Circles-FaiIure of Concern

60 Years of Age.

Augusta, Ga, Nov. ia case
Of alleged embezzlement similar in
many respects to the case Of T. w.
Alexander, who pleaded guilty in the
superior court few days ago, Is that
of E. r. Derry, charged with the en-
bezzlement of 500, 900 from the Au-
gusta Real Estate and Building asso-
citation. The case will probably came
up for trial In the superior court at
the beginning Of next weeks session,
as several indictments against Der
ry charging him with ernbezzlement
have been returned by the grand jury.
Derry, more than 60 years old, of
influential family, was secretary and
treasury Of the Augusta Real Estate
and Building association, a corporate
body, with a capital stock OF $780,
600. The purpose Of the association
was to lend money and purchase real
estate and sell 1t afterward at a profit
The president and directors Of the as
sociation had no active connection
with the association, and all the ac-
tual business was entrusted to Der
ry. Last March the association
suddenly became financially embar-
raised, and upon examination OF the
accounts it was found to be more than
$100, 900 in debt, with no money wiGh
which to pay the overhanging obliga-
tions.
The directors then fled a petition
in Mt ha Y1Ig M "a
creditors of the association received
practically nothing. Derry admit
ted at the time that he spent the
money, although he claimed that he
had no idea Of stealing it, and said
that he had spent it in fast living.
He was not arrested, which was
chiefly due to the reputation he had
borne all his life for honesty and in
tegrity, and also because of the ad-
vanced age of the man. A few days
ago the grand jury OF Richmond
county, while making rigid investiga-
tion in all the cases that came under
their consideration, indicted Derry on
several charges of embezzlement.
The sheriff of the county went TO
the home of Derry's son-in-law,
where the former was living, and
placed him under arrest, while the al
legged embezzler was in bed sick with
the infirmities incident to advanced
years. Derry gave bond at once for
$40, 900, and, If physically able to he
will appear in the superior court next
week and answer the charges pre-
ferred against him.
Like Alexander, Derry was one of
the most highly regarded men In Au-
gusta, and business men who held
stock in the Augusta Rear Estate and
Building association caused many
men to lose large sums of money, and
very nearly resulted in several of
the directors of the association going
into bankruptcy.
1t is probable that the people of
this section had even more confidence
in Derry than they had in Alexan-
der, because of the fact that Derry
was supposed to be very de7out in
his religious duty.
The loss of nearly 5000, 900 through
the instrumentality of Alexander. and
500, 600 through Derry IS a hard
blow to the merchants and business
men of this section.

A Square Deal

medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
