80 days in which to perfect his ap-
peal. Should it be perfected the case
could not come up before the supreme
court until the second Tuesday in Oc-
tober when the next session of the
court will be held. The case would
then have to be argued before the
court and if the appeal is sustained
the case probably retired. If the ap-
peal should be denied Jeffords would
then have to be resentenced before
execution.
Will Cause Delay.
In case. however the appeal is
never completed, as was the appeal of
S. J. Kirby, Solicitor Spigner will be
forced to wait the expiration of the
80 days before he can take any action
in the circuit court to secure the dis
missal of the appeal. This will carry
the delay beyond the next term Of
court and will postpone the resentenc
ing until the session following.
Harrison as yet has made no move
toward an appeal and it is not known
whether he will follow Jeffords' lead
or not. Under the law notice of ap-
peal to the supreme court may be filed
at any time after conviction and with
in ten days after the rising of the
court. The session Of the court at
which the three men were tried will
last through this week and Harrison
therefore will be allowed ten days af-
ter Saturday in which to file notice of
appeal. He would then be allowed
the usual 80 days in which to COM
plete and perfect the appeal. 1t is
possible also that the state may Sc
cure the postponement of his eNecu-
ton by a series of reDrieves from the
governor until the case of Jeffords
has been finally decided.
Treece also has made no move but
is now serving his life sentence in the
state penitentiary.

FAKE SOLICITOR
| COLLECTING MONEY
Claiming to be College Student and
Taking Subscriptions, but Had No
Credentials

Claiming to be College Student and
Taking Subscriptions, but Had No
Credentials
Paying money to persons having
no credentials seems to be a folly in
which the public is indulging to quite
an extent, otherwise the fake soloci-
tors would not continue at the work.
Anyone trying to collect money
should be required to present creden-
tials, evidence that he or she is a re-
sponsibile party.
The following in the Lewiston Sun
relates a story of how the public is
being worked"
A young man claiming to be col
lege student has been soliciting sub
scriptions for newspapers and maya
zines in this section of the State. He
is evidently another one of the fraud
solicitors that have been working va
rious fake schemes in this section of
late. He has many victims who have
fallen for his honest" plea for help
in securing an education.
In some cases he has represented
himself as Bates College student
and in others simply as college
student. He has given his address as
Bangor, Augusta and Auburn. He
has also claimed to represent the
Periodical Sales Co. of Chicago. In
all cases reported he has appealed
TO the sympathy Of his victims by
telling of his aim to secure a scholar
ship by means of obtaining subscrip-
tons. He claims that he has author
ity to receive subscriptions for any
newspaper or magazine published.
He has given his name as "Elwood
Swan" and is described as being
about 10 of 20 years old, weighing
about $50 lbs, height it.. s inches,
sandy complexion with light blue
eyes. When last reported he was
wearing a brown suit badly worn and
patched. and a light cap.
He has very honest appearing
and smooth manner which immedi-
ately seems to get the confidence of
his victims. He has been doing a
land Office business" and has taken
subscriptions for The Sun and for
other Maine papers and national mag
azines. He uses plain receipt book
such as may be bought at any sta
tionery store. Representatives of The
Sun and in fact, representatives of
any newspaper or magazine will have
authorized receipts from the company
which they represent and subscribers
to periodicals ought to insist upon re-
ceiving proper receipts.
Strangers soliciting subscriptions
should invariably be asked to show
credentials, before money is paid
them.
