The situation in this respect is not
acute. There now is at the surface of

for ten weeks, with the prospects that
this supply will be augmented by pro-.

DefaIc ations Are Within
Two.Year Limit
EMBEzzLER PLANS FIGHT

The books Of the Evans Dental lnsti.
tute Fund are missing.
John Weaver, former Mayor and
chairman Of the board Of trustees OF
the fund.- today admitted that all Efforts
have failed to locate the books at the
Girard National Bank, where Walter
A. Unger, defaulting assistant treas
urer, worked. Until the books are 10.
cated or unless Unger is willing to dis
close their hiding place, no accurate
statement of the fund may be obtained.
Mr.. Weaver said he homes Unger will
'come clean" regarding. the dates OF his
defalcatiOns now believed to amount to
nearly 5000, 900. He said perusal of
the books would show the dates when
the assistant treasurer clipped into the
fund" as the interest dates of variOns
coupons would be recorded.
At the District Attorneys Office 1t
was said IL is essential to have the books
norder that an ironclad case may be
made against the man. Should they not
be found It is probable Unger will be
sentenced for alleged misapprOpriati6n
of the $4,000 payroll check as the
State will not be able to prove that he
last two years. the limit of the State
laws on defalcations. 1t was said also
that Indictment of others probably will
follow IL the books are recovered.
Unger was called before Judge Shoe
maker this morning. Unger's attorney.
l.. Pearson Scott. succeeded In having
the proceeding postponed until Thurs
day.
1t was expected that Unger would
plead guilty to three indictments charg-
ing fraudulent conversion. larceny and
embezzlement by officer of company.
and face immediate sentence.
The new turn ia looked upon as in
dication that Unger now proposes to
make fight.
Ungcr htd not been brought into the
courtroom when Mr.. Scott, address,
ing Judge Shoemaker, said that he had
not found opportunity since he was
called to defend the accused assistant
| against the man. He urged that he
should be given time to obtain this in.
formation and asked for postponement
for one week.
Assistant District Attorney Welsh
opposed this. He said that the facts
In the case were perfectly clear and
that there, was no reason for delay.
Judge Shoemaker then decided to set
the case for Thursday morning. re.
marking that 1t was an important mat.
ter In which large sum of money was
involved. and that action should not be
halted longer than was necessary.
Unger was brought from Moyamen
sing Prison this morning and kept fol
while in the cell at City Hall. Ther
he was taken TO the room in which
prisoners are held while awaiting theil
turns in Court. There he was sur.
rounded by all sorts Of offenders. rang.
ing from burglars and shOplifters t.
pickpockets and sneak thieves. Hi
treatment was no different from that o
the other prisoners.
The man looked more shaggy and un
kempt than at the time Of his arrest
He had not shaved and the stubb.
beard, which began to grow after hi
fight, was tritie longer. His gar
ments were more rumpled.
After the postponement Of the case, h
was taken back to prison.

COURT REFUSES PROBATE
OF HARRY E. HESS WILL
Sees Evidence of "Undue Influence
Exerted Upon Testator

Atlantic City, March 13.-County
Judge Robert II. Ingersoll. in an
opinion handed down today, denies
probate of the document purporting
to be the last will and testament of
Harry f., Hess, former Philadelphian.
The will named Matte NJ. pollachek,
known as Marion NJ. Paul, the prin.
cipal legatec, and made no provision
for his wife, Mrs. Louise Hess, from
whom he had been separated for seven
years. Mrs. Hess appraises the estate
at $4,000
The will was executed in the Penn
sylvania Hospital for Mental and
Nervous Diseases in Philadelphia, while
Hess was a patient therein.
The opinion declares that Hess was
"a man Of immoral habits.' and after
the separation of his wife he had "con-
sorted with other women. the last Of
whom, from the testimony, appears to
have been Matte NJ. Pollachek, known
as Marion NJ. Paul. A careful con-
sideration Of the testimony presents
nothing sufficient to overcome the pre-.
sumption of undue influence"
