Cecil County Appointments

The CECIL WHIG did not publish
the list of Governors appointments
for this county last week, because it
had already published the list when it
was sent by the Executive to the
Senate Committee, on executive nomi-
nations. The list as then sent down
by the Governor and published in the
WHIG was confirmed without any
alterations, except the name of DR..
Jenness, of Rising Sun. For some
reason, which Senator Williams was
never able to discol er, the Senate
Committee refused to report the name
of DR.. Jenness and it was therefore
impossible to have him confirmed. Un-
der the law, however, the Doctor
holds over until the next Legislature.

Caught In Robbery

Several weeks ago Charles H. JEFF
fers noticed that some small change
had disappeared from his cash drawer
between Saturday night and Monday
morning. He notified the authorities,
and as suspicion pointed to a colored
boy who had worked for Mr.. Jeffers,
traps were laid for him by Bailiff
George NJ. Potts and Deputy Sheriff
Jacob H. Reynolds, who took turns in
guarding the store on Sundays. At
an early hour last Sunday morning a
negro youth named Joseph Lampson
entered the store by placing a short
ladder under a rear window, and pro-
ceeded to rifle the money drawer He
was caught in the act by Deputy
Sheriff Reynolds, who was on guard
at the time. He was given a hearing
before Magistrate j. M. Ash on Mon
day, and held for the Grand Jury.

BIG STATE DEBT

The State Legislature took new,
and to our thinking, dangerous, step
in the session just closed, when it
adopted the bond issue scheme to the
extent of nearly a million dollars, to
cover appropriations for the various
State institutions. Nothing is more
alarming, in our modern spirit of fin
ancing public Improvements, than the
constant tendency toward bond is
sues-toward payment of debts by
postponing them.
The appropriations made by this
special bond issue are as follows:
For completion of the State Normal
School, $225,000.
For completion of the Frederick
City Armory, S11 800.
For completion of the Salisbury
Armory, $10,500.
For completion of Annapolis Arm
ory, $4,000.
For improvements at Springfield
State Hospital, $4,000.
For improvements at Spring Grove
State Hospital, $4,000.
For improvements at Brownsville
State Hospital, 100000.
For improvements at Eastern Shore
State Hospital, 100000.
For improvements at Rosewood
State Training School, $4,000.
For construction of two new armor-
les, one at Elkton and one at Belair,
100000
For the acquisition Of site for the
Fourth Regiment Armory, 100000.
The bonds are to be issued in ac-
cordance with what is known as the

George D. Kelley Guilty

George D. Kelly, former cashier of
the Peoples National Bank, at Mid
dletoWn, Wednesday was convicted in
the United States Court of making
false entries in the banks books 30
cover a shortage of $4,000, and Of
making false statements to the Comp.
trCller of the Currency relative to the
condition of the bank. The jury IN
cluded in its verdict recommends
ton to the court for mercy. Counsel
for Kelley moved for new trial, and
"'as allowed four days in which to file
his reasons.
Before he was taken to the work
house to be detained there, pending
further action in his case. Kelley was
permitted to see his wife, who is i'll at
the home of relatives, suffering from
nervous prostratiOn as the result of
worry over her husbands troubles.
The minimum sentence for the otienSe
of which Kelley stands convicted is
five years in the federal prison at At
tanta, Ga, and the maximum is ten
years. The jury, which mas been sit
ting for two weeks listening to the
testimony in the case, was out all
night.
Kelley's daughter, Miss Emma Kel-
ley, who sat by his side in court
throughout his trial, broke down when
she heard the verdict and wept bitter
ly. Kelley is 63 years old, and when
he resigned as cashier at the Middle
town Bank, in 1912, had served in that
position for more than 20 years. The
conditions alleged in the indictment
against him have existed for about
twelve years at the bank. a strange
feature of the case is the fact that the
government did not allege embezzle-
ment against the defendant.
