bad shot himself or not
The town is divided into two hos
tile camps. one faction, led by former
Judge l.. s. Walter. holds Bastress to
be the cause of Feast's downfall. The
Bastress faction declares the other party
to be ''sore" because the price of lots
in Bastress's land companies went down
instead of up. Bastress claimed today
that all losses would probably be re
couped if the realty market remains as
it is.
Walter and Bastress grew up together
in Mount Carmel. Bastress. the son of
poor farmer of Snydertown, North p
umberland county. came here as young
school teacher. He became principal
of the local high school, read law in
his spare moments and was admitted
to the bar.
His subsequent career landed him in

many others.
"But | have suits pending against
him." he said. And | won't try the

No Longer Towns Idol
AS matter of fact Bastress today
is far from being the popular figure
he was ten years ago He is still the
towns rich man, but no longer its
popular idol.
S. Il. Bergstresser. treasurer of the
iron works, who first made charges in
the case, now declares he never said
anything, was misquoted and talked too
much anyhow. The veil of silence has
fallen over many others. All are await

4 WAS THE GOAT"
FEAST TOLD POLICE
Constable Says Suicide Accused
J. E. Bastress Of Using
Him ''as a Tool"

Mt. Carmel, Pa, Oct. 24.-'I was
the goat. Bastress used me as tool -
George f. Feast. manager of the Mt.
Carmel Iron Works, who shot and killed
himself on the train after being arrested
in Philadelphia charged with $40 900
shortage last week. made that charge
against John r. Bastress, financial wiz
ard at Mt. Carmel, jus before he
shot himself
William Baylor. the constable who
had charge of Feast, said today that
Feast talked freely of his affairs before
the suicide and that he blamed his
plight on Bastress. who has since been
arrested on n charge similar to the one
preferred against Feast.
Other important developments in the
maze of financial jugglery surrounding
the case are:
All books relating to the financial
transactions of the Mt. Carmel Iron
Works before Feast took charge, almost
four years ago, have disappeared.
T.. r. White, millionaire coal opera
tor, of Philadelphia, was elected to fill
Bastresss place as president of the
Guarantee Trust and Safe Deposit
ompany. q concern founded BY Bastrcss
more than twenty years ago
Prosecution of Bastress is to be
pushed by former Judge j. Fred Schaf-
fer, life long friend of Feast, who suf-
fered serious financial losses through
the operations of Bastress land
schemes.
Denies knowledge Of Books
Denial that he knows anything about
the disappearance of the records of the
iron company was made today by j. Il.
Bastress.
Mr.. Bastress is trying TO force a
meeting of the directors of the iron
works this afternoon to make them
show their hand.
According to Mr.. Schaffer. who is
attorney for the iron company, the cx-
pert who went over the books of the
concern three years ago was George
~. Feast, who was sent to Mount
Carmel by Bastress.
Feast said $40, 900 was needed to nut
the concern on its feet following his
audit. The money was raised, Feast
remaining as bookkeepcr. later becom-
ing general manager at a salary of $50
week.
81 don't know anything about those
records said Bastress today. GLOW
should ! know? | was seldom there.
The iron works people ought to know
about that"
why did Feast kill himself? Be
cause he lost his nerve, that's all"
No one here seems to know just why
Feast did shoot himself at the time lie
did Bastress says everything might
have been Strengthened out if Feast had
lived, as his friends would have come
to his rescue.
Baylor, the constable, said today:
Feast blamed Bastress for everything
that has happened. He said he had
been made a goat by Bastress, and had
been forced to do his dirty work for
him."
Friends of Feast here are wondering
whether he said the same thing in the
sixteen page letter he wrote his wife
just before he died. Mrs. Feast took
this letter with her to Hamilton, Can
ada, when she left here with her hus-
bands body.
As for Bastress, he did not stand
for re election today either for presi-
