TALE OF HORROR TOLD
BY RELEASED PRISONER

Mobile, Ala, Aug. 30-Captain
Emmett Fitzpatrick, Of Uniontown,
Ala, recently released from a Rus
sian prison, writes his brother, DIR.
G. C. Fitzpatrick of Mobile, from Re-
val, Esthonia, that his health is COM
pletely shattered and that it may be
weeks or months before he will be
able to begin the voyage home. The
letter received this morning, stated
that the condition of the young Ala
bamian is in such condition that he
is not strong enough to write of all
events that led up to his imprison-
ment and the attempt Of the Bolshe-
Wiki to kill him. III. :-.>
a"Sufice it to say" he writes, ."that
their efforts to kill me by the most
cruel and inhuman efforts failed. In
April and May they put me in a cold,
lamp cut, deep under the ground,
without sufficient food, air, light, bed
covering, etc., and there I had pneu-
monia and flu. and when I was dying
after IA days illness, they took me
to hospital where I recuperated
somewhat. The situation is so tragic
and so long that 1 can't attempt to
write until I am stronger"
Young Fitzpatrick added that he
would leave Reval for Paris within
two weeks if his health permitted.

MONEY INVOLVED
Veterans May Not Get Funds Due
Them

Them.
Anderson, Aug. 30.-A few days
before the Farmers & Merchants
bank closed it's doors a deposit Of
$4,000 was made of the pension
money for the veterans and widows
of this county. The question has
come up as to whether this claim
should be a preferred claim. The vet
erans had meeting at which James
H. Craig, state bank examiner, stated
that the deposit of the pension money
was not an ordinary and not a pref
erred claim, stating that he could
not order the money paid to the vet
erans or their trustees without an
order from the court of common
pleas, under whose order the bank is
being liquidated. Il -.
The veterans are in dire need of
this money, and Mr.. Craig said that
if 40 or so acceptable citizens would
sign as guarantors, a loan might be
made from another bank and this
money paid to the veterans.
p Leon L. Rice, attorney of the vet
erans, claims that this deposit is
not an ordinary deposit, that the
people to whom the money is due
had no choice in the matter, and that
the amount was trust fund de-
poisted by an official with the dis
tinct understanding that it was pen
sion money and that the entry was so
made and not mingled with other
funds.
A number of citizens have let it
be known that they would sign any
note by which the veterans could get
their money, and the method sug-
'gested by Mr.. Craig may be put into
execution.
