GIVEN CHANCE
SHE STOLE
MORE
Could | Do on So
a Week 2" Asks Mrs.
Lois Bascom.

Mrs. Lois Bascom, IS years old, Of 1873
South Thirteenth street, a trusted en-
ployee of Laiblin & Co., dyers and
cleaners of ladies' garments at 90 East
Park street, was today locked up at
the First Precinct station on a charge
by her employers of embezzling 500.
Unable to support Herself, her brother
n his wife on a salary of SO a week,
Mrs. Bascom stole from her employers,
and though weeping bitterly at her
fate, blamed no one but herself for
her misfortune.
II was in bad straits and needed the
money" Mrs. Bascom told Policemen
Troy and King. of Captain Ryan's
staff, when she was placed under ar
rest.
Since January 1 the woman has been
employed asa clerk of the company.
She was given a salary of SO a week
and placed in charge of the office of
the concern. Immediately after secur-
ing the position she began to embezzle,
she told Oscar Wertz, a member of
the firm and who made the complaint
against her in the First Precinct Court
this morning.
For three months her populations
were carried on, but her method of
taking the money was such as would
soon lead to her discovery. According
to WertZ her system was to receive
payments from people leaving clothes
at the firm to be cleansed CT dyed,
n then appropriate the money for
her W use, tearing up the slips which
were supposed to have been kept to
tally with those retained in the de-
partment where the goods are cleaned.
In May the woman's methods CT busi-
ness were investigated by h mem
bers of the firm, and they discovered
that her accounts and the slips in the
work shop were in a sadly muddled
state. Mrs. Bascom confessed her
guilt, the members of the firm say, and
they granted her plea for another
chance. She said she would do better
and would make good her shortage.
The firm listened to her proposition,
and they agreed that as she was a very
valuable woman to them in the bust
ness they would retain her on the con-
! dition that she would attend strictly
to business and to try to make up the
populations.
Fol some time Mrs. Bascom worked
hard and faithfully for the company,
but made very little effort to pay back
her arrearage. This was overlooked
until lately, when the members of the
! firm claim hat she again began to
steal. The company claims to have
lost as much as $500.
No mercy was shown the woman this
time, and her ~pleadings to be given an
other chance were let with a deaf ear,
what could l do IN SO a week. she
asked the policemen. MY brother re-
fuses to work, and 1 have to keep hin
and his wife. I know 1 have been fool
ish, SO I suppose l must suffer for it.
Mrs. Bascom, the police say. is mar
ried but has not been living with he
husband. She was modestly dressed
and rather good looking. h Will b.

disappear down Clinton venue, and, seeing
Sergeant Brown, of the Fourth Precinct

they drove after Landgraf's rig, which
they overhauled, after going several blocks

FIGHT FOR COPS PAY
POLICE BOARD PUTS OFF
ACTION ON CLAIM. ,
Argued by Counsel for Insane Police
mans Wife That Physicians Opinion
Should Be Passed By.

The Police Board held a special meet
ing yesterday afternoon to hear the
case of Policeman John OLoughlin,
and after taking up two hours hearing
the arguments of counsel, voted to
suspend action two weeks, or until
Commissioners Kane Is able to be
present.
O'Loughlin is now in an insane asy-
lum. He has been there since jan
uary, when he was suspended from
the force. Lawyer Edward Kenny,
who appeared for Mrs. O'Loughlin,
who seeks to have her husbands sal
airy given to her instead of into the
pension fund, commended that OLough-
lin could not be suspended for ten
days without a hearing of the charge
against him. The lawyer said he had
read the law in the case and con-
cluded that the board should give the
former policeman his salary.
In answer to the statement made by
Police Surgeon Clark that O'Loughlin's
insanity was hereditary, Mr. Kenny
claimed that O'Loughlin could not be
discharged from the force for disable
ity which he had when appointed on
the force. He cited several legal de-
cisions to sustain this point.
Mr. Kenny further contended that
as physicians opinions were profile
NAUTICAL, it was for the police board to
decide whether or not O'Loughlin's in
sanity was due to an injury of sew
eral years age in q car accident while
ON duty. If the board believed this,
Mr.. Kenny said that O'Loughlin should
receive pay until such time as he was
able to stand trial.
Assistant Counsel Child advised the
board to refuse the request. for the
present, at least. Commissioner Har-
| rigan moved that the matter be laid
over for at least two weeks, which was
| decided upon.
