sLEuTHs IN ORANGE COUNTY
Attorney General Says They Scared
"Yeqas" Out of the BaiIiwick

In Orange County approximately
four thousand three hundred dollars
has been expended under the head of
detective service" OF this sum one
thousand five hundred and fifty-seyen
dollars and fifty cents went to the
Wood-Morgan Agency for services
and one thousand five hundred eighty
nine dollars and siXty-nine cents for
expenses. This of course included
the transportation of prisoners The
balance expended amounting to APP
p'oximately twelve hundred dollars
went to "home grown" talent
The first bill paid in connection
with these matters since December
1st, 1913, was in connection with the
winding up of the so-called yeggman
cases which had been SO thoroughly
and successfully prosecuted by my
predecessor in office in connection
with the States Attorneys of Gale
donia and Orange Counties. This
bill for services and expenses amount
ed to five hundred and eighty eight
dollars and sixteen cents.
Prior to the liberal use of detec-
tive service i'll connection with this
class of cases by my predecessor in
Office, this State had averaged about
forty safe robberies year, in other
words, about three each month. Of
ten the loss of money was not the on
ly damage incurred as there We're in
some cases considerable damage al,
result of explosions. In several in
stances in Vermont shootings had
occurred.
AS result of the thorough work
done by my predecessor along the
lines above indicated, yeggmen have
been unheard of in Vermont until
since it has been so thoroughly adver
tsed in the newspapers that detec-
tive service was likely TO be discon-
tinued in this State. II may be
also noted that during the last two
years there has not been safe
blown open in this State.
More recent prosecutions worthy of
note in Orange County in connection
with which detective service has
been used are as follows:

State VS.. Bert Shottcr

This young man who is scarcely
past his majority was first arrested
in Orange County in 1911 charged
with the crime of grand larceny. At
a special term of Orange County
Court in October 1911, he pleaded
guilty OF this offense and was SEN
fenced to the State Prison. On ac-
count of his youth and good appear
ance the Court stayed execution and
placed the respondent in the hands
OF the Probation officer. In June
1913, complaint was made that this
respondent had violated the terms OF
his probation. The probation officer
endeavored to secure his arrest and
followed him to the Canadian border
where all trace of him was lost. Dur
ing the period of his probation the re-
spondent was married and had one
child born. After the local officers
had failed 10 secure his arrest appli-
cation was made for detective service
and the Wood-Morgan Agency was
placed in charge OF the case. The re-
spondent was traced westward
through Canada TO Chicago thence in
to Ohio and up through North Dakota
and finally arrested at Castleton,
South Dakota. He was returned TO
this State without the expense of re-
QUESTION.
AT the December Term 1913 OF
Orange County Court this respondent
was charged with the crime of rape
in the town of Bradford
upon a girl thirteen years old. To this
charge he pleaded guilty and is now
serving in the State Prison sen
tence of not less than seven no, more
than eight and a half years.
To secure the arrest and final con-
viction of this rape fiend cost the
State approximately twenty-five hun !
ired dollars. For this expense the |
Attorney General and the States At
orney of Orange County offer neither
apology nor excuse.
II is doubtless unfortunate that in |

learly as much as it does in the

The Death Of Hon. Crawford A.
Presley.

The. recent, sad and untimely
death, in. this parish of our la
'mented friend Crawford A. Pres
ley was a Vrievous blow to his
family as well as to his innumer-
able friends in every WALK of life
through this entire parish, and

irreparable loss to the people
whom he loved so well. and for so
many wears served so faithfully.
For the long term of thirty years
| have known Mr.. Presley init
mately and personally, and | loved
him with an affectionate regard
like unto that of brother. We
have for years been warm friends
socially and politically, and his
unfortunate death affected me with
an inexpressible and poignant
grief. Son,vtlmcs can hardly
realize that dear old Crawford. a,
we loved to call him is with us no
more; that he is gone forever, but
the sadness of his departure
teaches US that life, after all, is
fieeting and transitory, and that
one by one we pass away to that
great beyond undiscovered coun-
try from whose bourne no traye-
Ter returns. Life here at most is
but day, from dawn to darkness.
So let US then, on this solemn oc-
casion resolve so to live that when
the inevitable summons shall come,
We will be prepared and answer
ready. hope when l shall cross
the dark river, that l may arrive
OF 81 at place in space or condition
where / will meet such men as
Crawford A. Presley and men
whom ] have served who have
crossed over,
But what of the other side of
the river. Revelations and Faith
tell us that we will not cease
to exist. The universal protest
against extinction is the strongest
kind of evidence that our respec-
tive Municipalities are not to be
wiped out. And without repeat
ing. the words or reoollecting the
poet, but somewhere in my read
ing here or there. | recollect some
poem, l think entitled, Night"
the central thought expressed was
that the sun disappears behind the
horizon, the stars and. the glories
of the Heavens appear; and we all
lafe the Faith that with death the
|, individuality remains and the
glories of space appear. And l
hope and believe that somewhere
in the great beyond, under univer-
sal law, as 1t has been from the
beginning we will each one con-
tinue to achieve the place in the
infinite existance that we are en-
titled to occupy.
Mr.. Prgsley was one Of the
most delightful companions eve
knew. He, was Q man of infinite
Jest, and his spontaneous wit bab-
bIed over. He could talk as en-
tertainingly as he could write in
terestingIy, but his heart was
always with the Door and afflicted.
He never failed to aid them and
to comfort them. He knew the
good old rule that one can only be
happy by making others happy.
He followed this rule. He be-
| lieved in it. He did good for the
sake of doing good. He helped
hundreds, sympathized with the
oppressed urged the toiler onward
stood for the higher civilization
and worked necessarily to make
the world better and greater ano
rgrander.
A young lady friend of mlr'
wrote these beautiful and poetlca
lines about Mr.. Presley, after hi
death.
Happy, cheerful, loyal man,
Built upon the God like plan,
Always doing something good,
For his human brotherhood,
Memory with her magic spell, !,
Ger the years shall fondly tell
How his glorious, active mind,
Loved and wrought for all
mankind.
