Now Haven. March Il. -Nirginius j..
Mavo was arrested to-day on charges
made by Susie VI. Wahlers, who worked
in the MAYO factory as stenographer
down to two or three years ago. Inc
wealthy radiator and airship maker
was taken into custody At noon by
Sheriff Gus Uhl and taken before Jus
tice of the Peace Benjamin Land, VINO
held preliminary hearing.
Upon the request Of Mayo's lawyer,
BENJAMIN Slade. the hearing was con
tinued until Saturday morning.
The antiuuatcd Connecticut statute
upon which the complaint was brought
will rclegatc the case from the justice
of the peace to the Common Pleas
B Court, where either party may demand
a jury trial. 1t Is thought extremely
likely that Miss Wahlers will avail her
self of this privilege.
Her suit is civil instead OF criminal,
and she is entitled under the statute
to One-half the expenses of her girl
child during minority, or so long as the
co .rt shall direct. Usually Connecticut
judges also allow damages for term
Of ten weeks and the expenses at birth.
Hiss Wahler's complaint says the child
was born on January 20, 1919.
Mayo gave bonds for $1,000 to JUS
ticc Land. Slade furnishing the bond
surety.
Nayo's defence Will be denial OF
the charge, and il will point to the
fact that when Miss Wahlers Was at
tended by Dr. Sanford during her i'll
ness. she told him that the infants
father Was travelling salesman
named Brown. Mayo thinks that a
declaration made under these cond-
tious Is to he rated m the nature of an
autc-mortem statement. and viii wclEl
more with the court than one made 70
claim damages two years atterward.
Miss Wahlers is twenty-five years
old. She claims that Mayo cncom-
passed her downfall April Il, 1912. She
left the Mayo factory September that
year. The girl and her relatives re
fused tonight TO discuss the suit.

in this action alleging assault are eN-

charged Mayo with "thc fraudulent
misapplication Of funds OF a corpora
tion by the defendant as an officer of
the said corporation
The order of arrest was directed TO
the Sheriff Of Kings, and under date
of April IS the order was returned
bearing the Endorsement of William E.
Melody, then Sheriff Of that county
ARRESTED and locked up in jail"
The specific charge, made part OF
Mr.. Wise's affidavit. was that Mayo re
ceived and converted S985.67 to his
own use. OF this sum $500 was in the
form of a siXty-day note of the com
pany dated April %, 1901, and check
dated June 13. 1901. for the balance.
The note. according to the sworn state.
ment of J. NJ. c. Thomas. treasurer OF
the Griffin company, was returned TO
him bearing these Endorsements: Mayo
e. HOhrer Company. Y. }. Mayo, presl.
dent" "Mayo e. Mayo, V. J. Mayo,
and market and Fulton National
Bank" The check followed the same
course.
Mr. Rohrer in his affidavit identified
the signatures Of Mayo, but swore that
the company had no bank account other
than that in the Chemical Natlona!
Bank. He was the proper custodian OF
all funds. he deposed. but he never saw
the note or check or the proceeds OF
either.
The result Of these proceedings IS
described in another affidavit now on
file in the United States Court, sworn
to by Mr.. Wise. I'm this the trustee, aftcr
detailing the condition 0f the estate,
said: In the matter of claims against
the said Mayo, your trustee resorted
60 most drastic methods TO wit, caus-
ing the arrest of said Mayo and keep
ing him in Jail for three months
"A litigation resulted" the lawyer
continued, "in two judgments. upon
which the trustee has never been able
to collect"
These verdictS, according to the
record, totalled S4.15705. The papers
in the case show that later on at an
auction, William A. Campbell, some
time counsel for Mayo, paid 81 for
these claims.
Eventually the unsecured creditors
of the company. among them Rohrer,
the treasurer. received 81 ,G84 on claims
Of S8.354. after secured creditors we're
paid 1927
Later. after Mayo came into funds
the holders of the judgments against
him obtained . settlement, according
TO Mr.. Wise.
"They were not worth much at the
time" said Mr. Wise yesterday, FOR

pany wat gutted. Later on, when u be
