Lawyer Claims Armstrong
Received an Unfair Deal

Charges that the prosecution is sub
hitting William c. Armstrong. now
under ball for the alleged larceny of
1928 from the wrecked Rosevlile Trust
Company, to the third degree" were
made today by counsel for Armstrong.
1t Is said that the undue pressure
brought to bear on Armstrong Is for
the purpose of making him tell what
he knows, If anything, of what Ray
mond E Smith. erstwhile treasurer,
did with 100000 of the trust COM
pany's funds.
Henry H. Frying. who is looking
after Armstrong; interests, today
pointed out that it was unnecessary
and unfair to throw Armstrong into
jail on an apparently unfounded
charge of larceny. and to file an in
voluntary petition in bankruptcy
against him, when he is absolutely
solvent.
Armstrong was arrested on the lars
ceny charge on Sunday, when he could
not secure a bondeman," said Attor-
ney Frying today. "Of course, he
has secured bail since then. but he
had to submit to the ignominy of go
ing to Jail for some hours.
"Then an involuntary petition In
bankruptcy was filed against him.
This action was taken by Commits
sioner George A. La Monte, of the
State Department of Banking and In
surance, whose authority to take such
drastic action I question. Armstrong
ID not insolvent and the fact is well
known. contend that Armstrong has
at least $65, 900 above all his liabilities
to the Roseville Trust Company and
other creditors. And the fact that his
finances are very sound is we'll known
by those intimately connected with
the prosecution.
"They do not pummel Armstrong
with q club, but these actions brought
against him are done with the obvious
purpose OF making him tell what hi

NEW PROPOSITION
|NPROVERB HUNT
First "a Coupons and Book of
Proverbs May Be Had for
Twenty-Five Cents.

AS the days pass and people become
more and more familiar with the fas-
cination of solving the Proverb Pic
lures which form the basis of The
Evening Stars $4,000 Proverb Con-
test, it seems an assured fact that the
present contest will far exceed in in
terest any similar contest heretofore
conducted in this city.
Not only do those OF our readers
who have contested previous times
again enter the lists, but hundreds Of
new recruits to the ranks of Proverb
Hunters daily make themselves mani
fest. The rich prizes, of course, are
the incentive, for there will be Two
Thousand Dollars distributed to sue
cessful ones. But there Is also q real
fascination in the mere solving of the
pictures. The pursuit Is educational
and appeals strongly not only to the
young people but to the grown-ups
as well. We have advices from read
ers saying that entire neighborhoods
have formed themselves into associa-
tons OF Proverb Hunters, and regular
meetings are held at which the vari-
gus Proverb pictures and their prob
able solutions are discussed. 1T is
great fun" writes one enthusiast.
1.-THE social gatherings are jolly In the
extreme and we are grateful to The
Evening Star for providing a. new and
interesting motive for social gathers
ings."
One point should be borne in mind
namely. that 1t is not necessary to
register your name to become con-
testant. You may enter at any time.
1t is simply necessary for you to pro-
cure back numbers of the pictures and
coupons already published, and with
the aid Of the Evening Stars Book of
Proverbs, which contains the answers
to all the proverbs used in the present
contest as well as thousands of others,
late entrants will be as well equipped
to win valuable prize as are those
who started at the beginning of the
contest, and in this connection the
Evening Star makes a very liberal
and unusual offer to those who have
not as yet entered the contest. This
is that, while the Book of Proberbs
is regularly sold for 25 cents, and back
numbers are sold at the regular price
of the paper, l cent each, the first
twenty-four pictures and coupons and
the Book of Proverbs may now be had
for the price of the book alone, 20
cents. If book and coupons are to be
mailed the price is 81 cents
The OBJECT or THIS IS that we are
DESTROYS of having as many contest
ants as there are readers of the Star,
because we want all our readers to
have a try for the prizes. The contest
is for you. Why not share in 1t? One
thousand dollars is the first prize.
Well worth trying hard for, isn't 1t?
And, failing perfection, there are a
hundred other cash prizes, ranging
downward from $500, which is the Sec
ond prize, all of which are well worth
while.

Presbyterian Church of this city, who
disappeared Thanksgiving Day. Is
