LAY OFF FIFTY MEN

General business depression is given
BY officials of the Ohio Injenctor
Works at Wadsworth for the laying
off of fifty employees at the close Of
last week. The men effected were the
last to be taken on, the men who
have been with the company for years
being retained.
Even with the release of the fifty
men, the company states that it now
has larger force than at any time
prior to the last two months, and that
the temporary lay-off will in no way
interfere with the organization.
Officials of the company are of the
opinion that the present depression in
business in their line will be only
temporary and that business will
brighten up in the near future.

PINK ERTON DETECTIVE Il
IN MEDINA LAST WEEK

A Pinkerton detective from Cleve-
land was in Medina last week at the
instance of Sheriff Bigelow, where the
former examined the three men being
held in jail charged with favip~ rob.
bed the South End hardware store in
Wadsworth two or three weeks age
The men are Jos. Smith, Midland,
Pa. John Kallan, Detroit, and Nick
Causrnan, Barberton.
The detective was unable to identify
any Of the men as implicated in crimes
elsewhere, though he did say that one
of them resembled man wanted for
the robbery of a bank in Wayne coun-
ty, Mich, some months ago. He could
not identify with certainty, however.
The detective visited Nick Causman's
room in Barberton. where it is said he
found letters, certain statements in
which pointed to past misconduct.
According to officials, the detective
caught one Of the men in lie. The
latter had stated that both his mother
and father were dead. It was dis
covered that both are alive and that
the mother is conducting pool room
in Toledo. When confronted with the
facts the man is said to have become
angered and refused to discuss the
matter any further. He also has re-
fused to write his name with pen and
ink. says Sheriff Bigelow.
The men when arrested by Marshal
Tom Lucas and deputies two days af-
ter the robbery of the store at Wads-
worth, were armed with revolvers, the
numbers Of which, officials say, CORE
spond with the duplicate numbers
found in the boxes from which they
had been taken in the store.

WILL ORGANIZE TO
RECOVER INVESTMENT

That Medina county investors in the
Safety Nut & Bolt Co. are still de-
termined to be reimbursed for the good
money they put into stock of the COM
pany year ago, and which from re-
cent developments there have been in
dications that the money has "gone
glimmering", is again evidenced by the
fact that the local investors have re-
tanned Attorney J. A. Seymour to rep
resent them in the forthcoming airing
OF the company's affairs.
A hearing of the case has been post
poned twice, but is scheduled again for
Monday, Dec. 13, before Judge Manuel
Levine in Cleveland.
There are two hundred and sixty
stockholders in Medina county, and ap-
proximately as many in most of the
other counties of the Western Reserve.
At meeting held at the court house
on Nov. IL, an expression was sought
from those who had invested as to
Whether an attempt should be made to
recover from the company. If so, it.
was shown that each investor would
have to put up $3.50 for each share of
stock owned to cover the cost oflcourts.
Some were ready and anxious to do
this, while others hesitated about let
ting loose of more money in chasing
that which they believed was beyond
recall.
At this meeting VIM. Burke, at one
Tune general manager of the Safety
Nut d Bolt Co. was present and assur-
ed the stockholders that the companv
was crooked and had disposed of stock
by Misrepresentation, besides souan-
dering much of the money taken in.
Another meeting has been called for
Friday night of this week at the court
house. Mr.. Burke will be present and
tell of his activities during the past
lew weeks in the interests of the stock
holders and present program of
what is now proposed before them.
Stockholders in Wadsworth, of which
there are many, have already organic
ed to protect themselves and have con-
trlbuted $3.50 a share each to defrav
expense of litigation. Medina county
is the only county as a whole. it is me-
ported, that has not followed the action
of Wadsworth village.
1t is said that the Safety Nut & Bolt
20. received about $500, 600 from stock
sales, and that probably not more than
$zo,oOO can be recovered, the balance
having gone-where, o where?
Ihe local committee urges the i'm
portance OF every stockholder attend- |
ing the meeting at the court house Fri
day night. e =

CONFESSION TO KILLING
MOTHER is QUESTIONED

Circumstances have come to slight
during the past week that raise
doubts in the minds of the police las
to the truth of the confession OF
Joseph Mack, former Madsworth boy,
that he shot and killed his mother at
the latter's home in Akron, over a
love affair, as reported in the Sem
tinel last week.
immediately following the tragedy
Mack'S confession was given full Gre
dence by officials, bue the fact that
a 32-calibre revolver bullet found in
the woman's body was almost cut in
two sections by one of a 25-calibre re-
volver, when Mack's confession states
that he used the 25-calibre revolver
first, and also chat the 32-calibre re-
volver which he said he used lastthas
not been found, are details which lead
the coroner to admit that the murder
is far from being explained.
Mack now state that he shot him
self first and then began shooting
wildly in the room and did not know
that he had killed his mother until he
regained consciousness later at the
hospital. He also states now that there
were visitors at the house at the time
who with members Of the family in
Guiding his mother, had been drink
ing, and intimates that the latter fact
enraged him.
Mack now declare that there had
been no quarrel between he and his
mother over girl, as he did not want
the girl anyway.
The STORY as given out at the time
of the shooting was that the mother
had interposad objections to sher son
Marie Schoact, an Austrian
girl who had just arrived in Wads-
worth from her native country to be-
come the wife Of Mack. The latter's
parents have become Americanized
and, it is said, were anxious that their
son marry an American girl.
Unless the :.32-calihre revolver is
found, an element of doubt is thrown
over the case which must be cleared,
say police, hefore any jury will con-
uict Mack of first ,degree murder as
Is charged

DISCRETION CHARGE
DENIED BY MOTHER
GETS HER CHILDREN &
FROM COUNTY HOME
Left Them Temporarily With Neigh
har-Her Delay in Returning Caus-
es Them to Be Turned Over to Pub
lie Care.

The three young children Of Mr.
and Mrs. E. Burt, Fenton Of Wads-
worth who have been at thel County
Home since the fore part of last
month, were restored to the mother
on Monday of this week.
At the time of the removal of the
children to the County Home it was
represented to the officials that the
children had been abandoned by the
parents, the mother particularly. The
representation was made by Mrs.
Thos. Kale of Wadsworth, with whom
the children had been entrusted blythe
mother, Mrs. Kale stating that Mrs.
Fenton said she was going to>>San-
dusky for a couple Of days to locate
q house to live in there. It was. .not
until a week or ten days thereafter
that Mrs. Kale placed the matter be-
fore the authorities.
The starry told to the County Com
missioners on Monday by Mrs. Fen
ton when she came for the children
varies considerable to the one tola
by Mrs. Kale, and was accepted as
truth by the Comissioners. The facts
as related by Mrs. Fenton sub
stantially as follows:
She stated that no definite time
was set for her return for the child
rem, although she said she did
tell Mrs. .Kale that she did not ex-
pect to be gone but a few days, and
that she would pay for their care
upon her return.
Mrs. Fenton says her brother in
Sandnsky had obtained house for
her, but upon the arrival of her. house
hold goods many of them had been
stolen or otherwise disappeared and
that she had delayed returnang to
Wadsw0rth until the matter had been
adjusted.
She, also stated that she had
promptly written Mrs. Kale of the
situation, also number Of Times
since, and knew nothing of the. child
rem being anywhere but where she
left them until the latter part of last
week, when she and her brother i'm
mediately started for Medina.
Mrs. Fentnn is a refined and. kind
,ly appearing woman and manifested
a genuinely t1aotheIly greeting To her
children when reunited on Monday.
She attaches no blame to any one ex-
cept Mrs. Kale, with whom, as has
been stated, she declares she had a 4
distinct understanding with regard to
the care Of the children.
Mrs. Fenton expressed gratitude for
the kindly treatment accorded her
children at the County Home, and for
which she made a financial settlement
before leaving Medina.
The father, who was also charged
with abandonment, was defended by
Mrs. Fenton, who stated that he is |
in Cincinnati, and has ne
manned in ignorance of the unfortup-
ate and embarrassing circumstances
under which his family have been
recently placed.
