Lreasy in Death Cell
Pines for Lucky CoiI,

William Greasy, convicted re-
Gently in Mineola, L. T., of the
murder of Edith Lavoy, a school
teacher, still has faith in the
potency of his lucky coin, and is
despondent in the death house at
Sing Sing prison, because it was
taken away from him with his
other money and locked in War
den Lewis E. Lawes's safe.
1t is coin about the size of
quarter. Greasy said he had car
ried it for seven years, and it
brought him good luck. 1t was
taken from him for fear that it
might be converted into sharp
edged weapon or tool.

Confessed Swindler Kept in
Iombs as Victims of
Home Building Scheme
Mesa and Hear His Lawyer
Says He Can Make Good
Counsel Pleads Client Be
Given an Opportunity to
Start Anew, Repay Losses

Nearly one hundred men, victims OF
Alfred G. Oxley, president of the
Sterling System Homes Corporation, al
p West Thirty-forth Street, gathered
in the grand jury room of the Criminal
Courts Building yesterday and voiced
their indignation. Only few were
willing to give him chance to make
good.
Oxley already has pleaded guilty to
swindling prospective home builders
out of thousands of dollars and is
awaiting sentence before Judge Man
cuso. A copy Of the stenographic re-
port of wha. took place at the meet
ing will be given to Judge Mancuso.
When, during the meeting, it was
suggested that Oxley, who is pris-
oner at the Tombs, should be sent for
to address his victims, the men said
they would take the law in their own
hands" if they "got chance at Oxley.'
He remained in the Tombs.
John r. Dooling, formerly Assistant
District Attorney, and counsel for Ok
ley, declared he was sure Oxley could
make good if he were given an oppor-
tunity to get out of Jail and start anew
He said his client was one OF the clev-
crest financiers he had ever met and
he felt certain that Oxley could and
would make good
Many Of the victims seemed to favor
any course that would return their
money to them. The sums invested by
individuals varied from $1,bo0 to s2,5oO
Others declared they wanted Oxley
AyL $hor NV 80 rf thoSy ron ~ a
their money. A few shouted that they
would hang Oxley if he put in an ap-
pearance.
Oxley's plea of guilty last summer
was to grand larceny in the second
degree. The total swindle, as estimated
by Assistant District Attorney James
J. Wilson, was not less than $40, 900
The Sterling System Homes Corpora
ticn was formed to deal in ready made
houses, varying in price from $1,500 to
$500. Each prospective owner was re-
quired to pay 25 per cent of the cost
of the house. The investors never got
their money back, nor did they get
the houses. Some of the men had
started work on the foundations for
the buildings they thought they were
going to get. This was discontinued
when mechanics liens were lodged
against the buildings by contractors.
Oxley, when he pleaded guilty, said
he did not get cent out of the
echeme. Mr.. Wilson said, however, that
Oxley had withdrawn $500 of the cor
poration's funds for his own use within
six weeks. 1t developed at the time of
his arrest that he WAS an ex-convict,
having been sentenced in 1916 at Nor
ristown to seven-year term for
forgery.

only called upon to work from S

were only in their offices from 9 to

by the cabinet makes the working
day all the year around 8 to 4 and
allows only twenty-three days holi-
day in year, which includes three
days at the New Year. As the Off

cent last year, the local papers think
they have nothing to complain Of in
being compelled to work longer hours.
