Banker Took Hundreds Of Thousands;
Gave Much Away.

Banker Took Hundreds Of Thousands;
Gave Much Away.
Worcester Mass, May 20.-With one
hand. John A. Hall. for years treasurer
of the South Bridge Savings bank,
reached into the banks funds and stole
large sums OF money. With the other
hand he disbursed the stolen cash 20
charity and religion.
In the last twenty years. Hall says.
he has appropriated at least $370,O00.
1t may be more than that. Experts who
have gone over his books say the defal-
cation will reach 100000. Hall does
not know. He kept no record of the
thefts.
Hall lived above his income. His
salary was $500 a year He spent
$500. But this was not the feature
OF his strange view OF the equity of af- Z
fairs. while seemingly without con-
science when it came to taking other
peoples money. Hall showed the true
human emotions In his beneficiences.
The recital of his gifts shows he was
good to his family. that lie delighted In
helping his brothers. that he believed
in the uplift OF mankind. and that the
fatherless and motherless had In him
stanch friend.
There are some of his gifts:
South Bridge Y. NJ. c. A. (build
1EE) ........ ............. $bUeou
Clare Hall. brother Ito establish
sheep ranch ...... ......... $4,000
Frederick Hall. brother Gor edu-
cation) $500. ............-.. $500
Divers poor people ........... 10000
Various sums to Good VIII Home,
Homo for Orphans, Worcester Y. NJ. c.
A, and State Y. NJ. c. a.
Mixed in with his strange phian-
throphic philosophy. fall possessed
worldly and selfish streak. His con-
fession on the witness stand shows his
first step downward began with his
taking 500 out of the cash drawer of
the bank With the 500 he took q fly
er in Atci1ison. He had bad luck.
Further testimony proved he had drop
ped $4,000 in real estate deals.
Hall has been on trinl In the superior
court on n specific charge of the lar
ceny of $104 900 He was indicted on
fifteen counts. To thirteen OF these he
pleaded guilty. Judge Raymond sem
tenced him to not less than twelve nor
moro than fifteen years in the state
prison at Charlestown.

! The joint committee on wage scales
met this morning and it was apparent
from the start that the members would
be- unable to agHee, but the conference
was not called off until a determined
effort had been made to get together
on the disputed points.
The committee is composed Of nine
men each from the miners and the op-
orators and almost as soon as the meet
ing was called the three main points
Of difference were referred to a smaller
committee Of eight members, four from
each side OF the dispute. These three
questions were tonnage mining rates,
the closed shop, and the regulations
governing shot f1rers.
Just when the permanent strike or
der will be made has not been an
nounced, but it is certain the men will
not return to work pending further
adjustment Of their difficulties.
