Cleland has asked the state board

case.

MAN EARNING HONEST LIVING
The story Of a paroled convict who
was sent back to Joliet for two years
because he left Chicago to get work
is holding the attention of Former
Judge Mckenzie Cleland. He has
written the state board of pardons
asking mercy for the young fellow.
Ray Martin, known in Joliet as
Convict 1892, was arrested two years
ago. While drunk he gave a bartend-
er check which was rejected by the
bank.
He was sent to Joliet for two years
but at the end of the first year he
was released on parole for one year.
He at once furnished place for his
wife, who had supported herself while
he was in prison, and secured a po-
sition.
A few months later he lost the job
A three-mOnths' search did not I'M
cover another. Martin and his wife
were starving.
He wrote to Warden Allen at Joliet
and reminded him that he had Of
fered to cancel the parole at the end
of six months if Martin behaved. He
got no answer.
The parole law says that an ex-
convict cannot leave the state until
his parole is served. Martin thought
his time was done, so he went to New
York and secured work in a hospital
One day a man who was an inmate
of Joliet with Martin dTifted into the
hospital. He asked Martin to give
him money for dope and upon being
refused told the police Martin was
wanted in Illinois.
He was arrested and brought be-
fore a Judge, but discharged. The
police, however, as soon as he left the
court, took him again into custody
and he was returned here. Once in
Illinois he was re-sentenced for two
years for violation of parole.

STORY OF MIDVALE.
Retired MilliOnaireS Return to Forge
to Help in Defense of Freedom.

This is the story of Midvale. II
begins more than month back, in a
call from across the water, and a
hurry-up summons from this side to
the retired millionaires Of the Car
negie Steel company to come back to
the forge. The demand was for guns
big guns-and big shells to fill
them. Bethlehem and everybody else
was full up with orders and quick
work in the most competent hands
was wanted.
The problem was to find a plant
with going organization and the
practiced men to put at the helm.
The case was intrusted to w. D.
Corey, retired from the presidency o:
the Carnegie Steel company and OF
the United States Steel corporation
and to Ambrose Mcneil, now presi-
dent of the international Nickel COM
ranv. but formerly assistant to Mr.
Corey when president of Carnegie
Steel.
These two people needed no help

to map the steel ground of this coun-
try. They jumped for Midvale,
which for 80 years had been build
ing big guns and armor plate for the
United States government, as we'll as
many varieties of steel for CONNER
cial use.
It had a complete organization
with a half dozen men in every de-
partment that knew every wheel to
be turned. But Mr.. Harrah, it's pres
ident, now we'll advanced in years,
had refused, for personal reasons, to
permit the wheels to turn for any
other country than the United States.
Here was organized, $500 employees
residing in and near Philadelphia,
the best technical labor market in
the country, and here also were great
possibilities of expansion both IN
plant and organization.
The problem was now how to get
Midvale. Of course millionaire CAPT
talists could not go into the field and
bid for it and they might run against
other bidders. Indeed, another bid
der was found in the field already.
An alliance was formed and the first
bidder, William A. Read & Co..
promptly paid the price, which, in

Guiding all their expenses, was close
to $2O,0OO,000. They turned the
property over to Mr.. Corey and his
associates for 10 per cent. profit
or commission and for just s22'ooo'-
900 cash.
It was determined that to make a
proper investment basis in this quest
such a combination of properties
must be had as would be complete in
plants and organization from the ore
to the finished product and depend
ent upon no outside interest, and af-
ter the war would leave such prop
erty on a strong basis in the domain
of commercial steel, whatever should
be the demand from the United States
for ordnance.
The plant that would best fall in
to the middle of this combination
was that of Worth Brothers, success
full competitors for generation With
Carnegie Steel. The Worth Brothers
we're found not averse, in their ad-
vanced years, to retiring from a field
where they had held their own
against all comers.
Their plant inventoried under ap-
praisement at s13, 100000 and in ad-
dition there was net working CAPT.

EMBEZZLEMENT CHARGED.
Former Cashier of Lodge Bank in
Colleton Jail.

WATERFORD, November &C. l..
Gooche, former cashier of the Bank
of Lodge, is in Jail here charged
with embezzling $1,000 from the
Bank of Lodge. The affairs of this
bank were checked up some time ago
by expert auditors and there was re-
vealed a shortage which Mr.. Gooche
alleges was the result of bad book
keeping. Nothing was done about
it at the time, save to report the
matter to the bonding company
which was on the bond of Mr..
Gooche. This led to the arrest upon
the charge of embezzlement. ANtor-
neys have been employed on both
sides and a strong legal battle for
the freedom of Mr.. Gooche is prom
ised. Bail will probably be applied
for at once.
The shortage with which MIR.
Gooche is charged began, it is said,
to accrue from the organization of
the bank, some three years ago, and
gradually grew larger until it was
discovered. 1t appears that the State
bank examiner reported some irregu-
larities a short while before the al
legged shortage was discovered, and
later committee of auditors went
over the accounts from the time of
the organization Of the bank, finding
the shortage, it is stated.
Mr.. Gooche is from Kentucky,
where it is understood that he is
prominently connected. He came to
this county to take the position with
the Bank of Lodge Immediately upon
it's organization. He claims that all
of it is the result of errors in book
keeping and that no money has been
taken, and seems confident of the
outcome.
The bank is still running and its
officers claim that it is perfectly safe.
1t was affected only temporarily by
the alleged shortage, and in fact the
president of the bank, DR.. Moorer,
soon after the shortage was discover
ed posted a notice in the bank that
all depositors could then withdraw
their money. No run was made and
the bank is today in sound condition.
