Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. o6.-Gov. Stuart
has issued a requisiton on Gov. Hughes
OF New York for the return TO Fayette
county of George III. Proctor OF New
York. who was indicted in the Fayette
county courts in September, 1905. on six
separate bills of indictment. each charg
ing false pretense. The amount Proctor
is alleged TO have secured by false rep
resentations from the people OF Fayette
county was nearly $4,000.
He was arrested in Philadelphia and
taken TO Uniontown. where he was tried
on one of the indictments and convicted.
On another indictment he entered a plea
of nole contendere. He was called for
sentence. but was never sentenced, the
court allowing him to go for a short time
so that he could raise $4,000 and pay
back to the people the money he is al
legged to have taken from them.
Proctor has failed to settle as required
by the court. and he Is now wanted at
Uniontown for sentence. The Title Guar
anty and Surety company of Scranton,
which furnished a bond for him of $1,000.
has notified him several times to go to
Uniontown, but he has paid no attention.
District Attorney Hudson of Fayette
county applied to Gov Stuart recently
for requisition papers so that Proctor
might be taken to Uniontown for sem
tenCe.
