ELEVEN
AppOiRteeS Under Willis Fail
In Examination

Columbus, Jan. 26-That provision
al appointments suggested by Cover
nor Willis to the state industrial COM
mission were made in payment of po-
litical debts and not in consideration
of the merits of the persons appoint
ed was shown Tuesday when the
state civil service commission an
nounced that of twenty deputy in
spectors of workshops and factories
eleven not only failed to qualify for
their positions, but failed even to
pass the examinations, though they
had six months time for preparation.
When a civil service examination is
held, only the three with the highest
grades are held qualified. The eleven
not only were not among the three,
in each case, but failed in the exami-
nation entirely, SO are due for inn
mediate removal from office. The po-
sition pays $100 month and expens-
es while travelling.
Those who failed were: Herbert
Hannigan, New Lexington; j. N.
Tracey, Troy; w. H. Noon, McCon-
nelsville; w. Warren Hyser, zanes-
vile; Henry Fulton, Dayton; William
Dance, Cincinnati; Charles Gronauer,
Cincinnati; H. II. Heatherington,
Bellaire; John Boston, Wauseon; Ed
ward Timmons, Circleville, and Ed
ward Huff, Springfield.
The result of this first examination
for provisional appointees has caused
considerable anxiety in the ranks of
the several score who were appoint
ed in the same way, for they must
also undergo the test of the state
commission.

THE SMOOTH
FORGER.
Who Worked Five Mt. Vernon
Merchants
Last Fall Turns Out To Be
A Farmer
Named Bryant Pearl Residing
Near Sparta
His Arrest Good Work By
Sheriff WOOIisOn
Identified In Jail By All Of.
His Victims

Bryant Pearl, 31-year-old farmer,
residing one mile south of Sparta,
was arrested late Tuesday afternoon
and brought from his home to Mt.
Vernon and locked up in the county
Jail pending five charges of forgery,
which Sheriff Woolison, who made
the arrest, said Wednesday would be
filed against the man.
Pearl, it is claimed, is the man who,
on Saturday evening, Nov. 81, passed
five forged checks on as many Mt.
Vernon business men, getting a total
of $12S cash in change, after having
the amounts of grocery, meat and 9TH
er merchandise taken out, and after
ordering the various purchases sent
to $50 West High street.
The checks, it will be recalled, were
made payable to &c. w. Cramer," and
signed with the name of Clyde
Thatcher, a Mt. Liberty business man.
They were passed at the R. l.. Cole,
J. B. Latta, Samuel Scott, Max Mey-
ers and Adam Bros. stores, and the
fact that they were forgeries did not
develop until the Monday following,
when Andrew Proper, who resides at
$50 West High street, called up the
various business houses and reported
that he had not ordered the goods
that were being piled up high at his
home.
1t was thought at first that the for
geries were perpetrated by some
smooth stranger, who had stopped ov-
er here just long enough to make a
months wages and then skipped to
some other state.
However Sheriff Woolison got busy
and some weeks ago got clue that
looked "Spartawards." He learned
that Pearl once worked at the Pitts
burgh Plate Glass Co. plant here and
resided at 800 West High street. Lat
er he learned that Pearl had sudden
ly developed an unusually fat purse,
which, it is said, he explained by say
ing that one day while riding to Mt.
Vernon on a Pennsylvania train he
espied pocketbook lying alongside
the railway near the Pittsburgh Co.
plant. His story, it is said, was that
he hurried back to the point as soon
as he got off at the station here, and
that the pocketbook contained more
than 500. He claimed to have
searched for the owner and said that
he was unable to find him and then
concluded that finders are keepers
Pearl vehemently denied to Sheriff
Woolison Tuesday evening that he
forged checks here or anywhere else
He said that he was in Mt. Vernon
the night the alleged forgeries oc
Cured, and informed the sheriff thai
he and his wife attended picture
show.
Five of the men who saw the mar
who presented the checks here, the
ones with whom he transacted th'
business deals, visited the county jai
Wednesday morning and positivel.
identified Pearl as the guilty one
Pearl, the sheriff states, was rathe
sullen when the identifications wer
made. He refused to talk.
A charge of forgery was file
against Pearl before Mayor Mitchell
by Sheriff Woolison at 2;15 Wedne:
day afternoon. Pearl waived exam
nation and was bound over to tn
grand jury, Bond was fixed at $1,000
and in default of the same he wa
sent back to the county Jail.
