feebled by long illness, the grim old
man lay propped on his pillows today
hoping against hope that members Of
his family or former friends would
come to rescue him from his p'tiahle
plight.
Deciding there, was no use waiting
any longer forlstbe old. man to make
good the dc6cit;sip the eommission,s
funds, Attorney General Carmody at,

the assistant attorney g neral tonight
and it was decided to give General
sickles until Monday before serving

gretfully, he said. He felt, however,
that forbearance had ceased to he :
virtue. 1t was known that during the
years sickles Was chairman, of tho mon
ument commission, a. position he occai.
pied up to a month ago, go, when the first
disclosures in the funds We're made,
the general had helped himself to tie

own. His integrity was never quss:
toned by his associates and he was
allowed to draw on the funds at will.
When. the shortage was disclosed last
month, it amounted to $4,000.
Then came one Of the strange sur;
prises with which the old veteran e
life has been filed. His wife; whom
he had estranged thirty years ago ana
who, with his son, had made, bitter
charges against him, came to the
front for him and turned over 5000
