ST. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. S.-Waltar G.
Stewart, superintendent of the mu-
nicipal lighting plant, with which he
has been connected 81 years, has
been indicted by the grand jury
charged with obtaining money by
false pretenses on false certificates.
Charles A. Waller, formerly an old
employee, is under arrest and other in

who worked a few hours at the plant
on Saturdays, was drawing $50
month it is charged.
The jury states that ST. Joseph has
been defrauded out of thousands OF
dollars. Padded payrolls and the dis
posal of junk and other salvage at the
plant recently rebuilt at cost OF
$4,000 are charged.
The graft has been made possible,
the grand jury thinks, by insufficient
supervision and management of the
plant.
There are two charges against
Stewart, seven against Waller, who is
in Jail, being unable to give $1,000
bond, and seven against Ferdinand
Mays, saloonkeeper who is charged
with forgery in connection with caS1S

With trembling fingers Max pro-
duced his locket
viii you look at this?" he asked in
a voice that was bit shaky.
The prince stepped forward and
jerked the locket from Max's hand.
But the moment he saw the contents
his jaw fell and he rocked on his heels
unsteadily and staggered back toward
the duke for support.

the duke anxiously. After all Doppel-
kim was an old crony, and mayhap he
had been harsh with him.
Where did you get that?" asked the
prince hoarsely.

Max. The chain that went with it

prince to the man who had worn the
locket. Certainly there wasn't any
sign of likeness. But when he looked

Max doubt grew in his eyes. They
were somewhat alike. He plucked
nervously at his beard.
