FLEECES GULu|DLE MAN
AND IS SENT TO JAIL
SAME OLD OVERLAPPING "
GAG ON EAST COAST
Griswold and Pals Get Massachu-
setts Mans Money--Later
Gets Six Years

Fort Pierce, Nov. 29.-D. E. Girls
void, said to be a notorious crook and
confidence man, with a dozen different
aliases, was recently convicted in the
district court here before Judge E. B.
Donnell, of obtaining money under
false pretenses. Motions for a new
trial were heard and overruled by
Judge Donnell and the prisoner SEN
fenced to six years in the peniten-
tiary.
During the season of 1918 and 1917
Griswold came to Fort Pierce with
some of his pals and rented a house
about five miles south of town and
established therein fake "wiretap-
ping" plant. 1t was the same old
game-a pretended private wire by
which private advance information"
concerning horse races was secured.
In the complaint it is alleged that a
man named Gray and another named
Bonell met the complainant in Fort
Pierce, induced him to go to the plant
and bet small sums of money on races,
which bets complainant invariably
won. The complainant, David P. VAL
ley, of Fairhaven, Mass, was thus
tolled along until "a chance to win a
fortune" was unfolded to him. He
claimed he was persuaded by Gray,
Bonell and Griswold to mortgage his
property in Massachusetts, for over
$1,000 and add what money he had
with him, in all $11 ,220, and bet it on
a certain horserace, which race, of
course, was a fake.
Griswold was placed on trial and de-
Tended by C. D. Abbot and H. C. Keas-
ley of West Palm Beach and Judge
Otis R. Parker of Fort Pierce. Ed
gar c. Thompson, state attorney, was
assisted in prosecuting the case by
Fred Fee and C. H. B. Floyd of Fort
Pierce. The case was vigorously de-
Tended and prosecuted and attracted
mech attention.
The verdict and sentence meet with
popular approval because of the east
coast being infested with wire tap
pers. Griswold's criminal record, the
police say, is long one and that he
is known by various names in the po-
lice records of New York, Baltimore,
st. Louis, New Orleans, Kansas City
and various California resorts, and
that his picture is in the rogues' gal
lery in New Orleans, No. 206; Kansas
City, No. 80; Baltimore, No. 1925;
Oakland, CAL, No. 463O; San Diego,
No. 2376. He has been arrested thir.
ty-two times, generally putting up a
cash bond which he forfeited.

letter from her brother, Lieut.. John
Hugh Glidewell, now at an artillery
school in France, in which he gives
his personal observations on the war
and its cruelties. He states that
whereas he went into the war with an
intense horror of sudden death he

it all seems part of the days work

continues:

URGENT CALL MADE
FOR PAYMENT
RED CROSS PLEDGES

A very courteous but embarrassing
communication has been received by
Executive Secretary Holworthy from
the headquarters of the American
Red Cross, expressing disappoint-
nent and regret that so large an
amount of subscriptions to the War
Fund are in arrears and asking that
some effective measures be at once
taken to secure the payment of these
pledges which are in arrears.
Reminders are sent out each month
by the executive secretary and a
courteous request for payment made.
For an obligation of this nature. that
ought to be sufficient. The work of
the executive secretary is given with
out stint or remuneration and every
postage stamp accompanying the
monthly reminders is so much dis
count from the amount of each in
dsyldual pledge No further expense
in the way of collecting has been
provided or thought necessary, but
something must be done at once.

Name German Shells.

There are about 200 separate and
distinct kinds Of shells fred from Ger
man guns, and each and every one Of
them has been given at least one nick
name by the English Tommies. Some
Of them have been given several.
The biggest kind Of high explosive
shells, for instance, are known indif-
ferently as "Dirty Dicks" slack john
sons" rCoal Boxes" "Flower-Pots,"
"Crumps," s'Black Peters," or "Whis-
Ting Willies."
The smaller kind are "Black Marias"
or "Woolly Bears" according to wheth-
err the smoke they emit when burst
ing is black or white with a yellowish
tinge.
High-explosive shrapnel and trench
mortar shells are respectively "whizz-
bangs" and "pip-squeaks," from their
habit Of giving only these warnings OF
their approach. "Archibalds" are anti
aircraft shells.

OF WHAT USE is THE RAT7
Place Of the Predatory Rodent In Bal
ance Of Nature Perhaps In
Remote Past.

One Of the geological details connect
ed with the rat is its failure to sus-
tain any discoverable relation with
the balance of nature. The balance
of nature seems remarkably ever all
over the world, for no kind of life can
become wholly extinct without affect
ing prejudicially the general environ
ment.
The rat seems the solitary excep-
ton to the general experience that in
reference with the fauna of an envi-
ronment invites disaster through an
upset Of the balance of nature, says
writer in Current Opinion. Other
forms Of life, vegetable or animal, up
set 1t by their absence. 1t was thought
until recently that a peculiar species
If flea could thrive upon the rat alone,
out some doubt is thrown upon this
dea by reports Of plague investiga-
:ors.
There is, however, another view Of
The connection Of the rat with the
balance of nature, according to the
Paris Revue Scientifique. The ro-
lent has achieved its task, performed
It's duty. The work was accomplished
n past centuries, probably in Asia.
Rats will attack very large organisms.
Even the elephant is not respected. It
IS widely known that certain varieties
Of Asiatic elephants have great dread
If rats. Cases are recorded in which
a huge elephant has succumbed to
wounds made in its feet by rats. The
cats gnaw the hoofs Of horses when 1t
can get at them. 1t would eXterminate
the pig If it could find a neutral in
man.
In brief, all the evidence suggests
that there has ragged in the past
great warfare between the rat and
certain gigantic forms Of life. The
brown rat seems to have had much to
10 with the extinction of certain
great beasts in Asia. Perhaps the
mastodon was routed by the rat. In
any event, the rat may have played a
glorious part in eliminating the bulky
monsters that in time past kept man
down numerically just as today the
robin plays a glorious part in elm
mating from the soil the pests that
otherwise would keep the crops
down.
The very voracity Of the rat must
have been Of great geological impor-
lance when 1t had to attack, perhaps,
herd Of mastodons. The rats trav-
eled, then, evidently, in swarms. They
swan rivers in swarms. Nothing could
stand them or Withstand them. Having
eaten up everything that could not
run or fly or fight back, the rat turn
ed to Europe and had to satisfy itself
with new habits and different foods.
It's connection with the balance of ma
ture was destroyed and it is today a
meaningless survival with nothing but
somewhat doubtful claim to a char
acteristic flea.
