ed in escaping net drawn by some
of the most skilled man hunters in

"Get Gaffney dead or alive" was the

perated by the failure of nineteen de-
tectlves to nab man they had sur

Yesterday the detectives arrested
eight persons charged with harboring
and assisting the fugitive.
According to detectives. they arrived
at the home of Gaffney's sister, Mrs.

Others were Alfred Mascal, of 3O7

German Priest Must Keep
Out of Mount Vernon !.
or Go to Jail
Church Is Stormed;
Police Pull Bell
Highest Kind of Patriotism
Needed Now, Judge Says,
Sentencing Heinlein

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y. July 81
Father Edward w. Heinlein, the Ger
man priest who refused to ring his
church bell in honor of the victory of
American boys in France, was fined
$500 and sentenced to two months at
hard labor in the City Court here to-
day.
The workhouse sentence was sus-
pended on condition that Father Helm
lem keep out of Mount Vernon in the
future. The fine was paid. No appeal
was taken.
Father Heinlein was convicted of
the technical charge of "wilfully or
wrongfully committing an act which
served to disturbed the public peace"
Mount Vernon prides itself on being
one of the most patriotic towns within
the borders of the United States. This
city was the first municipality in the
country to pass an ordinance to ex-
clude Hearst newspapers and all other
dlsioyal publications. The public peace
of Mount Vernon was considerably dis
turbed on the evening of July 10 when
the bell in the German Catholic Church
of Our Lady of Victory failed to peal
forth tribute to victory of those
Americans on, the Western front.
On the afternoon OF July 10 Mayor
Brush issued proclamation asking
that the American victory on the Marne
be celebrated by the ringing of church
bells at p. m.
Father Heinlcin's church alone was
silent.
About O'Clock that night a crowd Of
5000 persons, including Mayor Brush,
Chief of Police Foley and other city
officials gathered about the church.
Before the crowd broke up the church
bell had been rung-by the solice-
ant Father Heinlein had been .nade to
kiss the American flag. TIE priest
was struck several times.
In imposing sentence Judge Appel
said:
This is no time for any e9.i~s but
the highest kind of patriotism. can
not understand why any man i his
right senses would not take part IN a
celebration Of the American victory
unless he was actually disloyal.'
After the evening of July 19
church authorities sent another p1 :,
to take the place of Father HeinleI.
Since then Father Heinlen, who is, a
German, has been living in Brooklyn.

Five Indictments
Returned Against
G. Graham Rice
Promoter Accused of Using
Mails to Defraud Released
Under $500 Bail
BY BRIGGS

Five indictments charging Jacob S.
Herzig, alias George Graham Rice,
with grand larceny in the first degree
were filed yesterday with Judge Null
queen in General Sessions. Rice was
released cn $500 bail. He is already
under $4,000 bail imposed by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock on, a
charge of using the mails to defraud.
According to Assistant District Il I =,
torney John I. Dooling. who has been
investigating Rice for several weeks,
the broker recently netted S45O,00O
alone in Monster Chief" an oil stock
which he has been touting in his week
ly sixteen page investment organ, "Thc
Industrial Mining Age" which Rice
claims has a circulation of $4,000
"Nltnln comparatively short time"
said MI Doc!ing, Rice dropped most
OF this money specu lating in the Street
and by placing S25 goo bets at the race
tracks His mail was enormous and
his daily bank deposits averaged s1O.-
coo. He had part of two floors .at
u William Street and his office pay.
roll was $4,000 week. He lived at
IA East Sixtieth Street. opposite the
Metropolitan Club, and had a summer
nome at Manhasset, l.. |. In the winter
he spent his leisure time at Palm
Beach.
Had FavOrite Stocks
For some time Rice had been boo st.
ing Rice Oil Stock The corporation
was composed of his office associates.
and it had not been legally entitled to
Go business in this state. 1t was in
corporated under the laws of Della
ware IN January, 1917, with an au
thorized capital of S5000,O00, divided
INTO 100000 shares at 81 share. In
many cases his customers, who were
never large investors. when they de-
manded certificates of stock or their
money back were advised to let Mr..
Rlce keep their certificates as col
lateral for 'ficr' iii one of Rice's
other oil stocks"
Rudol ph W. Hartman, complainant
IN one Indictment, charges that he gave
Rice 500 Liberty bond and s721 Is
to purchase ten shares of American
Car and Foundry stock in January.
Since that time. Hartman alleges, he
mas been unable to get his Liberty
bond or his stock and money.
ii. w. Goodwin, of North Attleboro.
Mass. sent $4,000 to Rice in March to
buy United States Steamship stock.
He charges that he has never received
the stock or his money.
Walter Sheperd, of Mount Lebanon.
y. Y, alleges he gave Rice 5000 in
February to buy one hundred shares
of Smith Motor Corporation. and he
is still waiting for his stock or his
money. DR.. Willard S. Benedict, of
Washington, is complainant in two in
dictments charging Rice with the lar
ceny of one hundred shares of Smith
Motor Truck Company stock purchased
between June and November, 1917.
Mr. Doollng charges that all of Rice's
private OIL stocks are worthless and
that the only wells he claims to own
are those in the eastern part of Ken
tucky, and those are capped.
