Bank Cashier Placed Under Arrest

Mt. Gilead. - Short between 100000
and $4,000 in his accounts, Har-
ry B. McMillin, cashier of the
National bank of Morrow county,
of this city, was placed under arrest
here by federal and state authorities
charged with misappropriating funds.
He gave a bond of $4,000 in the
United States court in Columbus and
was allowed to return to Mt. Gilead
with the bank inspectors to go over
the books.
McMillin confessed to the shortage
and has been working on the books
with the officials, sorting out the
notes. Admitting that he forged
names in order to show balances, he
has exonerated the directors and
turned over all of his real and per,
sonal property to the bank, but this,
it is said, will not make up the de.
ficiency
Directors of the bank of which Nc.
Millin is cashier stated the bank is sol.
vent and will not be closed.

NEWS CULLED
IN THE CAPITAL
WHAT LEGISLATORS ARE DO
ING AND OTHER HAPPENINGS

Should Death Chair Be Abolished?
The fact that there are now two
men in the Ohio penitentiary annex
awaiting death in the electric chair is
again emphasizing the existence OF
capital punishment in Ohio and is
again turning public attention to the
question of whether the state should
continue or cease the taking of human
life. However, to recall some OF the
things that have been done in the last
few years is to conclude that the CON
tinuation of the electric chair is the
result of deliberation rather than OF
accll dent. The question has arisen in
practically every general assembly
during the last 10 years. 1t was raised
early in the present assembly by Rep
resentative Jones of Franklin county,
a Democrat, but was given scant con-
sideration. Three years ago the con-
stitutional convention submitted to
the people the capital punishment is
sue and the people voted down the
proposal to put the electric chair out
of commission. OF course, there are
arguments on both sides and all the
arguments are seemingly logical In
fact, there is hardly a subject that
comes before legislatures for which
more can be said on both sides. There
is a strange feature, incidentally, in
the case of the two men now in the
annex. Both are murderers of police
men and both committed their crimes
when caught in the act of burglary
although their crimes were in different
cities and at different times. Pete
Scribner, Just received this week
killed detective who caught him try
ing to get into residence in Toledo
Sam Scheff, who was the solitary oc
cupant of the death chamber Wher
Scribner arrived, killed a Columbus
policeman who caught him trying tc
rob a saloon. The death penalty that
awaits the two emphasizes the fact
that public sentiment always is severe
with murderers of policemen and de
velops the fact that, although few
such persons have escaped the severe
: penalty in years gone by, they have
been the exceptions rather than the
rule.
