FELkER is HELD.
Newburyport's Defauting City Treas
urer Fails to Get Bail.

Newburyport, Mass, May 2S.-un-
able to secure bail of $4,000. CITY
Treasurer James Il. Fclker was held
for the September setting of the grand
jury, when his case came up today on
continuance before Judge Simpson in
the local court, on the charge of en-
bezZling $3.50 Of the city funds. Tie
original theft charged against Mr.. Eel
ker was $1,000 and at that time bail
was fixed at $4,000. which the trcasur-
or WAS unable to raise.
Subsequent investigation showed an
additional shortage of $4,000 in the
City'S funds and the bail was then in
creased to- $25, 900. There did not seem
to he much likelihood of Mr.. Felker's
securing bonds and he WAS taken to tho
county Jail to await the sitting Of the
grand jury. which meets at Lawrence
on the second Monday in September.
Mr.. Fclkcr was arrested May TO- 1t is
alleged that his methods were to have
the mayor sign notes which the latter
thought were renewals. and the treas
urcr then used the notes for spccula-
ton.
