TANNING MAY
PASS LONGER
TIME in JAIL
At Expiration Of Seven Year
Sentence Morris County
May Act.

Seven years in State Prison at hard
labor was the sentence meted out to
George M. Lanning. se~lf-confessed
forger and former postmaster of Flor
ham Park, by Judge Ten Eyck in the
Court of Special Sessions late yesterday
afternoon, as told in the night edition
of the EVENING STAR.
The sentence is the maximum penalty
for the crime, and when Lanning mas
served the time it is likely that the
authorities of Morris County, where ne
also committed forgeries, will get after
him. He will receive one day off a
week. according to custom, for good be-
havior.
Lanning did not show a trace of
emotion when called from the pen to
face the bench and the court reviewed
his career and and crime before pass
ing the severe sentence.
The specific complaints on which
Lanning was arrested, a~rraigned,
pleaded and sentenced were made by
the Federal Trus Company, of this
city, on which he tried to collect on
two forged notes. amounting to $11 900.
In passing sentence the Judge re-
marked;
'You were postmaster of the Borough
Of Florham Park, whose name you forged,
and also president of the Board of Edu-
cation of the borough. BY means of your
political and social position, and the good
reputation which you had acquired in the
community by years of upright living, you
were easily able to defraud the banks. I
am satisfied that you expected to event
ually make good the moneys you had
obtained. but you were willing to take
the large risk involved in your actions for
the purpose of making money quickly and
easily. You acted deliberately.
II am unable to see that there Is any
difference. so far as moral turpitude IS
concerned. between the man who uses his
standing in the community as q means Tor
perpetrating gross frauds and the man
who Is weak enough to use moneys thus
obtained in other ways than you used them.
If you had used the money for ~riotous liV-
ing you probably would not have been
able to have obtained anywhere near the
amount which you did obtain by fraud. So
far as you are personally concerned 1t Is
no doubt true that, having lived for years
in constant fear of detection, and being
finally detected and disgraced, you have
already suffered severe punishment. but
1t Is the duty of the court not only to inn
pose an adequate sentence as a punish
ment to you. but as a warning to others
Grimes such as yours are, unfortunate
ly, quite common II men In your posi-
tion are to be lightly dealt with for flag
rant violations Of the criminal law, II pam
not be expected that the ignorant and
vicious will nave much respect, either for
the law or for the courts, whose duty 1t Is
to enforce it."

ChIId's Gets Head Fast In a Churn.

There was a novel occurrence
near Stanton postoffice in Wilkes
county a few days ago. On the
porch of the home of Uriah Bum
gartner, the children were play

hands al old fashioned churn, Zig
at the bottom and little at the
top. and while holding it upside
down, playfully placed it on the
head of a two-year-old boy.
The child turned his chin up
ward and the churn could not be
removed. Tie large end of the
churn had to be sawed off and
then great difficulty was expert
enced in getting the first stave
knocked out without injurlng the
child seriously.-Winst n d s.
