Montgomery, February 3-tSpeclal.)
When is a hero hero? Or. does virtue
always carry its reward. or vice impose
a penalty?
These questions have been suggested
by the unexpected return of Theodore
Lacy, alleged to have embezzled $50, 900
from the state convict department last
March. His reception on the day of his
return was like that accorded the prodi-
gal son of Biblical fame. His friends
called to see him, spent hours with him
in social intercourse, and sent him meals
to suit the taste of an epicurean.
Hardly any governor on the day of his
Inauguration could have been made the
recipient of more attentions. The whole
had the appearance of hero worship. Lacy
the embezzler had returned, and his
friends, many of whom were state Off
cals, fiocked to see him. The first
night and day of his Incarceration in
the county Jail, Lacy occupied two rooms
on the first floor, a sleeping apartment
used sometimes by one of the Jail Off
oials, and a room occasionally used for
reception purposes.

American Society for the Control of
Cancer, in Soldiers Memorial hall
DR.. Reynolds, who is vice president
for New England of the American So
ciety, stated that as yet there is no
evidence that radium had cured one
advanced case of cancer. According to
his view, the radium treatment of can

of experiment, and successful results
have been obtained chiefly in the treat

of the skin.
The first principle in the treatment

Judge Atherley Jones stopped case
against a man and his son charged
with stealing by finding a rug which
the younger defendant picked up after
it had blown off a motorcar The
judge in directing the jury to return
a verdict OF not guilty, said that the
law with regard to finding property,
although there was popular supersti-
ton that finding was keeping, was very
clear If person found an article j.
was his duty to preserve it, and, if he
had any reason to suppose that it be-
longed to a certain person. it became
his luty to so to that person to mike
inquiries in order to ascertain. But
otherwise there was no actual duty
upon him to take it to police station.
1t was probably prudent course. but
the police had no greater right 70 the
article than the person who found it.
