DIAMOND ROBBER WAS CAUGHT
Young Akron Man. Stole Four Valuable Stones
From DuebIe StOre..-Tried TO Sell Them TO a
Stranger and Was Detected.

A cleverly planned diamond robbery
was frustrated early Thursday after
noon through the presence of mind of
a Canton ieweler, coupled with SER
ious mistake of the man who attempt
ed the robbery.
AS a result Earl Mcmillan, a young
Akron man, is locked up at police
headquarters, charged with suspicion.
He was arrested by Lieutenant Wiel-
andt about o'clock Thursday after
noon. It is expected that the charge
of suspicion will be changed to grand
larceny Friday morning when young
McMillen will probably be arraigned.
McMillen arrived in town from Ak
ron, his home town, about noon Thurs
day. So far as the police have been
able to learn he was alone. A short
time later McMillen entered the jew
elry store Of Walter II. Double, 124
West Tuscarawas street, and asked to
be shown some diamonds. A clerk
drew out a tray of stones, and McMil-
len perused them closely.
Il guess / will come in later and Sc
lect one of the stones" McMillen told
the clerk, just before he left the
store.
A few minutes later McMillen went
into the Arcade saloon in East Tus-
carawas street, where he attempted to
dispose of two large diamonds to an
unknown man for S30 The intended
purchaser was skeptical, so McMillen
gave him the two stones and told him
to have them examined by a jeweler
The fellow took them into George
Doubles store at 130 South Market

TWO YEARS
IN THE PEN FOR FORMER STATE
TREASURER
Henry WuIff Sentenced for Using the
Mails to Defraud--He Had
Pleaded Guilty.

Chicago. Jan. 1S.-Henry Wulff, for.
mer treasurer of Illinois and once a big
figure in the Lorimer Republican polit-
ical machine, was sentenced to
two years in the Bridewell and fined
800 by United States District Judge
Bethea. The sentence followed his
plea Of guilty on charge that he used
the mails to defraud.
Wulff's sentence brings an end to
the scandal following the exposure of
his methods in conducting the Cont
mental Financing company six months
ago. Wulff was president of the COM
pany. Justus w. Lobb, secretary Of
the company, was given sentence as
severe as that given Wulff The latter
testified that he had been drawn into
the company by Lobb but before talk
ing active part secured an opinion
from S. p. Shope, former supreme
court justice of Illinois, that the Con-
tinental Financing company was le-
gal.
The end of the operations by Wulff
and LoDb came last July, when Judge
Honore appointed receiver for the
companies, whose joint operations up
to that time were for deals aggregating
more than $5,000,000 The investiga-
ton by postoffice officials followed.
Wulff and Lobb were indicted month
ago.
The sentence of the court came al
most as a physical blow to Wulff. He
seemed to age ten years within an
hour after the sentence, while he
waited the making out of the commit
ment papers for his entrance to the
Bridewell. In decided contrast to this
Lobb displayed no trace of emotion.
A pitiful scene followed in the Unit
ed States marshaPs Office. Lobb stood
conversing with friends. He paid not
the slightest attention to Wulff, the
Older man by 20 years. The latter set
in chair beside his eldest son. His
head bowed on his hands and his
| shoulders shook with sobs which he
could not restrain. When the man
raised his face he seemed to be 20
years old instead of 81. He had moth
! ing to say. He could not even speak
| TO his son.
His lawyer claims that he under
stood from the court that a plea of
! guilty would entail only a fine; other
wise jury trial would have been ask
ed. He tried to withdraw his plea and
stand trial but Judge Bethea refused.

street. There they were pronounced
perfect stones.
Mr.. Double inquired how much Me-
Millen had asked for the two stones
and was told $50. Immediately he grew
suspicious and called up Walter II.
Double, who discovered that four dia-
monds, which we're wrapped in bit
of tissue paper, were missing. He or
dered the two stones held and hurried
to police headquarters. Lieutenant
Wielandt went to work on the case
Immediately.
After a search Lieutenant Wielapdt
located McMillen at the Arcade saloon
and took him into custody. McNiillen
admitted the theft and took the other
two stones from his vest pocket. All
four are said to be worth 1925.
McMillen was later identified by
George Double as O young man who
entered his store the day following the
Thanksgiving day football game and
got away with diamond ring valued
at $75. This ring McMillsn said, he
sold to a man in Akron. Lieutenant
Wielandt went to Akron early Thurs
day evening to recover the ring.
Detective Bert Alderman Of Akron
dropped into town Thursday afternoon
and went to headquarters. He was ia
ken into the Jail by Chief of Police
McCloud. Eckerman identified McMil-
len as a young man who has been In
trouble several times in Akron. He is
said to have been in Jail once for a
similar theft On several OCcaSiOnH
the police say, young McMillen has
been saved from going to jail by his
father, who is said to be we'll to do.

BRICK MAKERS
NO LONGER COMPETE FOR BIDS,
SAYS AKRON MAN
Some Time Ago Canton Contractors
offered Brick at Half What Ak
ron Men Wanted and
Brought the Trust
to Time.

Akron, O., Jan. 1S.-'It looks to me-
as though there is brick combine
said John Crisp of the firm of John
Crisp & Son. general contractors.
when | was ON the board of COM
missioners, representatives of brick
companies at Wooster, Malvern, Can
ton and Massillon submitted bids on
almost every paving job. Those COM
panies no longer try to get contracts.
That is what makes it look like a
combine"
Mr.. Crisp during the past year
dealt almost altogether with outside
firms in the purchase of building
brick.
He explained why he did not patron
ize the local manufacturers as follows:
Il purchased brick during the past
year of outside companies at $6 d
thousand on the cars, the shipping
bills being paid by the manufacturers
while the best price that could be Sc
cured at home was $3.50 a thousand.
Last year l purchased over 100000 of
brick from outside firms and about
100000 from local firms"
Mr.. Crisp was a witness before the
grand jury in the investigation of the
combine.
Not long ago one of the rubber conf
panies desiring to have a brick pave
ment laid in a court at the factory.
advertised for bids. They We're sur
prised to find that Canton brick was
offered by Canton contractors at about
one-half the price of Akron brick.
Accordingly preparations were made
to let the contract to the Canton firm
for the laying of the pavement.
In the meantime the rubber people
went to the Akron contractors, told
them that they would greatly prefer
to use home product, but that they
did not care to pay double price for
it. The Akron contractors offered no
reduction.
Thereupon the rubber company pre-
pared to let its contract to Canton,
and when it was found that the work
was actually going to Canton, and
that a Canton brick pavement might
be laid in Akron, for comparison with
the Akron product, the Akron brick
trust sent~a man who offered to lay
whole court-brick, work and all, for
the same price Tor which the Canton
brick alone were offered.
