FORCED TO GET EXCITEMENT
English Court Clerk is Given Eight
Months in Jail for Altering
Postal Drafts.

Lcndon.-Here is a young man who
cannot get enough thrills out of life
without being dishonest. And even
dishonesty soon ceases to : lead a
thrill to him.
James Walter Evers, twenty-six, for
merly clerk at the admiralty, plead
ed guilty at the Old Bailey recently to
forging and altering naval postal
drafts worth s7,1Oo. Pleading for
leniency, Eyers said:
During the greater part of my life
I have been afflicted with an extraor-
binary lust for excitement and thrills.
While this longing for excitement has
often led me into dangerous and trou-
blesome adventures, it has never made
me commit a criminal offense until
now. I swear when conceived this
scheme my main thought was the ex-
element. l left off going to post Of
fees because found myself going into
them mechanically and getting no
thrill of excitement in handling
forged drafts over the counter. / had
200 more drafts in my pocket
Evers was sentenced to eight
months Imprisonment.

Mrs. Hunt was lying on the blazing
Goals, her head in the open doorway
and reaching with one hand to pull
the door closed after her.
Barr seized the woman and dragged
her from the frebox head-irst. Most
of her clothing already was burned
and falling from her body. Barr
dragged the woman out of doors and
rolled her in the Stow, extinguishing
the blaze. Then he turned in a call
for an ambulance.
