leader of the younger society set of
that city He travelled the pace at a
pretty lively gait and found that he
needed more money to keep up appear
ances, and this, he thought he saw
an easy way to get Shortly after he
conceived the idea Mrs. Dan o. Cas-

began to receive Matchmaking letters,
telling her that unless she paid the
sum Of $4,000 her house would be
burned and her two young children
kidnapped Not content with writing,
or else with the idea of hurrying her
up. Morris repeated his demands over
the telephone and his voice was rec
ognized- A trap was set for him into
which he fell and his arrest resulted
Convicted on Friday the 18th.
The case was bitterly fought in the
courts but the evidence was conclu-
sive, although the jury took five hours

fifteen minutes after the jury return

two years in the federal prison. His
attorneys made a motion for a new
trial which was promptly denied by

20 never would be broken and they
could not conceive how anyone could
think of such 2 possibility.
When sentence was passed Morris
finched. his face flushed and he bow
ed his head. His face is not that of
g strong grown up man. He is good
looking but his expression is that of
a spoiled child, and while his face
showed surprise at the verdict and
sentence. IL was more the astonfsh-
ment Of a child who wondered that
ANYBODY could punish him no matter
what he did than surprise that any
one should think he needed punish
