ACCUSED
LAWYER
CONTINUED from First Page,

of handling the funds of the i~nstitu-
ton was raised until six weeks g
when the directors of the institute
held their annual meeting. Hulse did
not feel s~anguine of clearing himself,
but insisted that he did not misappro-
pirate any of the funds of the insti-
tute.
That he should have been arrested
at such an early date was a great sur
prise to him, he said today, especially
as he felt that it would ruin his career
in this city, no matter what might be
the outcome of the charges. The ac-
cused lawyer, who is go years of age,
was particularly downcast over the fact
that he should have been arrested. and
that his old friends might perhaps be-
lieve him guilty.
Hulse has been counsel for the Fire
side Building and Loan Association for
over twenty years, and is under 10000
surety bonds as counsel for that or
g~anization. Hulse felt particularly
grieved wei his arrest, more on ac-
count of the fact that he had been
counsel for this association than any
thing else, he said.
Charles P. Zimmerman, president Of
| inc Il lIeSlu6 pululIiS anu hOdh EAoSONi
alton, called on Hulse at the First Pre-.
cinct station today and had a short
talk with him. Mr.. Zimmerman denied
that Hulse was treasurer of the as
ISOLATION, as had bee reported, but that
he was counse and that his accounts
with that organization were correct.
Other officers In the building and
loan company are: John w. Fair, vice.
president; Charles w. Menk, treas
urer; Camil P. Nagel, secretary;
George R. Lambert, Charles w. ORDER,
Jacob ]. Schaffer, Frank Wadsworth.
August LANCE, August Koelhoffer, Ar
thur J. Mousley, Augustus Phelps, Otto
T. Vogeler, George b. Callen, Charles
w. Graham and Earnest A. Lyon, d.
rectors.
What Hulse did with the money is
still a mystery. He has made no con-
fession other. than to admit hat his
accounts are in a horribly muddled
state. He is a. man of quiet DISPOSE
ton and has a wife and one son He
owns a two-story frame house o n
Quitman street, where he has made his
home for the past ten years.
That the funds of the Institution were
not ~squandered is the firm belief of
his friends, many of whom called to
see him at the First Precinct station
yesterday and his morning. He is a
man of no known bad habits. No
compensation was attached to his po-
sition as treasurer of the Peddie In
s~titute, according to Hulse.
Mrs. Hulse, wife of the accused.
called to see her husband bright and
early at the station house this morn
ing. Unusual courtesy was extended
Hulse by the police, and he was given
every convenience that the station
afforded, not being locked in a cell,
He was put in the witness room for
the night.
The wife of tile accused treasurer
has faith in her husbands statements
that it is a mistake all around; that
the arrest was hasty and ill-advised.
She does not believe that n penny
of the alleged stolen money was
wrongfully used by her husband, she
says.
IT am convinced of my husbands
innocence of any wrongdoing, and am
confident that when the time comes
he will be able to clear himself" said
Mrs. Hulse today.
Il cannot say much about this case,
for really I know nothing of my hus-
bands business affairs said Mrs.
Hulse. IAN ideal husband, for rarely
was he absent from home at night dur
ing our years of wedlock," continued
Mrs. Hulse. still Mr.. Hulse was never
communicative about his business. 1t
was not until two weeks g that
knew that he was no longer treasurer
of the Peddie Institute. Then he told
me that he was in a little trouble as
he expressed it, and no longer held the
office"
did he say hat his resignation had
been demanded ?" she was asked.
mo, he did not, but declared that he
could no longer endure the strain, but
hat 1 need not worry as everything
would be all right" replied Mrs. Hulse.
"Then the next thing l knew of the
matter was when the news of his arrest
was telephoned to me. The shock to
me was indeed great, but / hope for
the best. My husband has declared his
innocence of wrongdoing.
'And 1 told him that he had my
faith whatever the outcome, and that
I would stick by him to the end
added the loyal wife. She added:
IT look upon my husbands arrest In
| the view as expressed by Mr.. Barrett,
that it was too hasty and ill-adyised.
