PENAL SERWTUDE
FOR SEVEN YEARS
GIVEN BOTTOMLEy
Found Guilty of Appropriate
ing Half Million in War
Bond Club.

LONDON, May 30 (Associated
Press) .--Horatio Bottomley, former
publisher of John Bull. was found
guilty to-day by jury on the charge
of misappropriation of funds belong
ing to the Victory Bond Club.
He was sentenced to seven years'
penal servitude.
Immediately after sentence was
passed Bottomley served notice that
he intended to appeal. He has been
one of the most prominent and pic
turesque figures in the public eye for
many years, principally as editor Of
John Bull.
1t took the jury barely half an hour
to make up its mind and return the
verdict of guilty.
This is the latest Of several charges
of fraud that have been made against
Bottomley. Years ago he figured in
several notorious fraud cases. none of
which, however, resulted in his con-
viction.
The court in passing sentence said
that it could see no mitigation for the
crime. A remarkable scene occurred
outside after sentence had been pro-
nounced. The immense crowd sur
rounding the Old Bailey surged after
the van which was conveying Bottom
ley to prison. and strong police
measures were required to quell the
demonstration, which had no vocal
expression
Mr.. Bottomley's conviction was i'm
mediately made known in a message
by the Judge to the Speaker of the
House of Commons, who formally an
nounced it in the House. This auto
matically Vacates Mr.. Bottomley's
seat in the House for South Hackney.
The Bottomley case has been ex-
citing intense interest in England fol
several months, since the defendant.
former member OF Parliament, first
was charged with fraudulently con-
verting funds of the Victory Bond
Club, wartime organization OF
which he was the founder and presi :
dent.
When BottomleN was placed on
trial he was specifically accused q.
Incorporating 5000, but the
prosecution alleged that of the 6 493.-
600 he was declared to have handled
only G23.OoO could be accounted for
Bottomley. however, swore during the
trial that he had never made a penny
out of his various clubs or improperly
taken any amount whatever from the
clubs funds.

Two Women and Man Held Captive
By Maniac Believed TO Be Slayer;
DIGS Grave, but Latter Escapes
Former Are Shackled and
Then, Attacked in Shack in
Omaha Suburb Mailman
Flees When Help Is Called.

OMAHA, May 29.-Police to-day
rescued two young women and a man
from a lonely shack on the outskirts
OF the city, where they had been cap
tured and chained by Gus Grimes, a
maniac.
The women. Mrs. James Jenkins
and Miss Gertrude McManan, had
been without food since Saturday.
The man, Fl. Z. Boyd, was captured
by the madman Sunday when he,
hearing the women's cries, attempted
to rescue them.
Grimes dug a hole in the earthen
floor of the shack and told Boyd:
That's to be your grave" Then he
threw the women into the hole and
attacked them, they told ;he police.
Boyd succeeded in freeing himself
from his chains this morning and
went for help. Grimes escaped in
Boyd's automobile. A locksmith filed
the chains from the two women.
Miss McManan and Mrs. Jenkins
were waiting for a street car at s
p. NJ. Saturday when Grimes came
up in an automobile and offered to
drive them home. They accepted.
When he drove past their destination
they became alarmed and demanded
to be let out OF the car. Grimes
drew a gun.
Keep still, or I'll blow your brains
out" he said,
Soon they arrived at the shack.
What are you going to do with
us?" the girls asked.
I'm going TO hold you for some
money. See IL your relatives won't
give me some,' Grimes replied.
He took new link chain of two
tons lift capacity and fastened an end
around each girls neck. He locked
the chain with new padlochs. The
chains were about five feet long. He
fastened the other end to concrete
pillars sunk in the floor of the shack.
Then ne opened trapdoor in the
floor and made them jump into the
hole beneath. The girls were left in
the dungeon all Saturday night while
Grimes slept in the room above. sun
day morning he let down a ladder and
brought them into his shack. He
kept them there until afternoon.
About P. VI. Miss McManan sue
ceeded in signalling to Boyd, who was
in an automobile on a hill nearby.
Boyd came to the women's aid.
Grimes, however, had seen him com
ing and pressing a gun against his
ribs, marched him inside and chained
him up with the women. Then he
went outside and dug a grave.
I'm going to take your car away
so they won't have any trace of you,
Grimes told Boyd. "Then I'm going
to come back and get rid of you. See
that hole. That's where you're go
ing"
When Grimes left, Boyd kicked q
screwdriver within reach of his hands
and pried loose the screws which
fastened the chain to the concrete
pillars. He then ran TO the nearest
house and telephoned police.
The description of Grimes comedies
with that OF a bandit who on May
20 shot and killed C. E. Siefkin anc
his son, Robert Siefllin, in an oil f1ll.
