COMMITTED the
Boys Sentence
BIZ ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Aug. 13.-President
Wilson today committed the sentence
of Charles S. Lawson, a Little Rock,
Ark, bank runner, and acting teller
who was sentenced, on June 2 last,
for abstraction and misapplication of
national bank funds to five years in
the Atlanta penitentiary.
The action was based on a showing
that the young man was given duties
and responsibilities beyond what the
bank should give; that he had ex-
tended courtesies to prominent de-
positor in a way which made the bank
guilty of considerable laxity in its
practices, and that there were many
very extenuating circumstances.
The president committed the sen,
tence to a year and one day, which
will be reduced by good behavior t.
about nine months from last June.
