HELENA MAN sTUNG ON FAKE
BOND ISSUE.

In low voice. scarcely audible even
in the hushed silence of the crowded
court room George M. Piper, entered
a plea of guilty this afternoon to the
charge of embeZzlement, and receiv-
ed a sentence of from 2 to II years in
the Michigan City penitentiary. He
was also disfranchised for 5 years.
Piper betrayed no emotion after the
sentence had been imposed by Judge
Fox, but thanked the court for the
mercy that had been extended him.
Piper embezzled $270 from the F. and
~. Lawn Mower company last fall.
He will probably be taken to prison
tomorrow. Attorney Charles e. Shive-
ley appeared for Piper. but offered no
defense, apparently realizing the futil-
ity of such a course.
No Burglary Charge.
Piper was brought to Richmond
from Hartford, Conn, on requisition
papers. charging burglary. Since his
arrival in this city affidavits charg-
ing embezzlement and grand larceny
had been drawn up by Prosecuting
Attorney Ladd. Attorney Ladd ex-
pressed the desire to prosecute Pip
er on the charge Of burglary this af-
ternoOn. but his motion to this effect
was overruled by Judge Fox, who alb
solutely refused to permit the man to
be prosecuted on any other than the
embezzlement charge. After sentence
had been passed on the embezzler,
Prosecutor L4add made the motion that
Piper then be arraigned on a charge
of burglary. but this motion also was
overruled by the court.
Wanted His Razor.
Piper made the special request that
he be permitted to take the razor
which he had carried with him on his
travels, to prison with him. His re-
quest was refused however, as it is be-
lieved that by permitting him the razor
the man would take his life, he hav-
ing repeatedly stated that there was
nothing to live for now. The other
trinkets which were brought from
Hartford by Piper will be given to his
family. None of the members of the
mans family were present in the court
room when sentence was passed.

Washington. Feb 23.-Opposition to
certain post office nominations which
were made by the president upon the
recommendation of Senator Beveridge

Hemenway and eXRepresentative

fices and post roads, was notified by
the two "'Jims' of their attitude, with
the result that three important ap-
pointments which they had caused to
he held up We're confirmed by the
senate in executive session.
These nominations are Thatcher A.
Parker. of Terre Haute; William II.
Arnett, at kokomo and Frank B. Gar
linghouse. at Rockport.
The opposition of Messrs. Hemen-
way and Watson was due to the fact
that three postmasters owing alleg-
lance to the old Fairbanks-Hemenway
Watson element of the republican par
ty were to be superseded. namely,
Samuel E. Gray. at Terre Haute; Ed
gar A. Simmons. at Kokomo and John
J. Brown, at Rockport.
Protest Against Tiehenor.
Senator Penrose was also notified
that there would be no opposition to
the confirmation of Henry Tichenor as
postmaster at Princeton, who also
was recommended by Senator Bever-
idge.
But a protest against Tichenor has
come from John ID. Borland, chair
man of the Gibson county democratic
committee, at whose instance Senator
Shively has blocked his confirmation.
Shively was advised that the Grand
Army was opposed to Tichenor. and
would present reasons in a letter
which is to follow. The present post
master at Princeton is Arthur f.
Twineham, an old soldier.

1t is learned that Mr. Watson first
submitted to the President twenty-five

in his opinion, should be allowed to
hold on and that the president agreed
to keep them in office. Subsequently

BADLY WANTED MAN.
Many Cities Are Anxious to Prosecute
George NJ. Piper.

From Spokane, Wash, to Boston,
Mass, letters are daily pouring into
the office of Superintendent of Police
Gormon, offering congratulations for
the clever manner in which George
NJ. Piper, the alleged embezzler, was
apprehended. Piper is alleged to have
operated his swindling schemes in at
least fifteen different states. Each day
brings to light some new feature in
Piper's notorious career and discloses
swindles which he has perpetrated,
heretofore unheard of. So extensive
have been his operations during his
few months absence from this city,
that it scarcely seems believable to
think that the man evaded detection
for SO long a period.
Robs Poor Bank Clerk.
A letter was received at police head
quarters this morning from William B.
Watts. chief inspector of the bureau
ef criminal investigation of Boston.
Mass. to the effect that Piper was
badly wanted in that city for having
defrauded Earl +. Perkins. a clerk in
the Security National bank of Bos-
ton: out of $3.50 on November 1, 1909.
Mr.. Perkins also wrote pathetic let
ter in which he stated that he had
known Piper since boyhood and that
the latter took advantage of his init
mate acquaintance to cash his per-
sonal check. which later proved to be
worthless. According To the letter,
Perkins IS poor young man and the
loSS sustained is a severe hardship IN
him.

have written that Piper is badly want
ed in that city and they are sure of a
conviction there. While in Helena on
