OCEAN PARK, Jan. ion the eve of
the arraignment or former Postmaster G.
Lovelaee before United States Commits
sioner Van Dyke to answer to the charge
of embezzling government funds interest
In the case among the beach acquaint-
ances of Lovelace appears to have reached
the straining point.
Chiefly among those who are spoken OF
as the club associates of the former post
master has the conversation turned al
most entirely to the predicament that
Lovelace finds himself in.
The question as to what plea he will
enter is believed to be the most con-
sidered point of the discussions.
Should Lovelace plead guilty it is re-
garded as certain he will be quickly sem
fenced and the episode will pass into his
tory.
on the other hand there is a difference
of opinion as to what will develop should
Lovelace stand trial.
The prospect of an investigation into
the stories of poker games that the miss
ing postoffice money is alleged to have
gone into does not cause any noticeable
joy among his associates. Neither does
there appear to be any desire among the
hotel men, whose establishments have
been mentioned in connection with the
carousals, for any free advertising in con-
nection with the Lovelace affair.
Just who the persons are who Lovelace
depends on for advice at this time is not
generally known. His wife has remained
steadfast to him from the beginning.
Who else has stood by the prisoner is
largely a matter of conjecture.
