Griffiths Guilty
Of Many Crimes
After His Parole

Des Moines, Sept. 25.-That Roy
L. Griffiths. alias Roy Lennon, pa
rolled convict from the penitentiary
at Fort Madison. did not escape to
Winnipeg, Canada, in order that an
unborn child might have his name,
but that he might escape arrest and
Imprisonment for forgery and other
crimes committed while he lived at
Creston. are the assertions made
yesterday by the state board Of pa
role. /
Interest in the affair has been
aroused because Miss Elizabeth
Greeley, with whom Griffiths is al
legged to have lived, Is at present in
the Salvation Army rescue and ma
ternity home In this city. having
heen sent here after Griffiths had
been taken back to Fort Madison for
breaking his parole. Salvation Army
leaders have announced their inten-
ton OF asking state authorities for
Griffiths' release that he might be
free to marry Miss Greeley.
According to records held by the
board OF parole. Griffiths was en-
gagged In business partnership in
Creston before he left for Canada
and was under the surveillance OF
state authorities. When no departed
suddenly his partners notified the
state. 1t is also claimed that he
had purchased gold watch from the
Shea Jeweiry Company In Creston.
and in payment had given a check
to cover funds which he did not
have.
Cloth which he purchased In Kan
sas City for the partnership and
which he paid for with checks on the
1t is alleged. Furthermore, the board
Of parole is In receipt of letters from
authorities in Winnipeg stating that
he was charged with having obtained
money under false pretenses In the
Canadian city. He had also forged q
check for $4,000 In payment of an
automobile which he had purchased,
these records would show. but the
car was returned and the check not
cashed
George d. Reddick Of the board
stated yesterday that Griffiths was
brought back to Fort Madison not
only because he had gone out OF the
country, thus violating his parole.
but also because he had violated it
in a much greater sense by revert
Ing to life Of crime.
When the officer went to Canada
to get Griffths he was told that
Griffths and Miss Greeley We're mar
ried. They made ! the statenen,
themselves and said they had their
license in their trunk. 1t is the
opinion Of the state board that the
two We're married In Canada.
Griffith's criminal career. accord
Ing to the records, is varied one.
He has served terms in the state
prison OF Washington at Walla
Walla. at Deer Lodge In Montana,
and. at the time when he was taken
to Fort Madison, he was also wanted
by the state authorities of Missouri
for forgery. His Fort Madison rec
ord shows that he was exceedingly
rebellious at first, but, after
serving four of the five years OF his
term he had Quoted down so that
parole was thought merited. He is
said to be a clever writer and ski .
ed workman. Monthly reports, whicn'
he sent to state authorities while at
Creston. show that he was making
good money and was likely to be sue
cessful. No one at Creston, except
his first employer ard, later, his bust
ness partner, knew that he was =
convict.
