AGED MAN SAYS HE
PASSED BAD CHECKS
AND WANTS TO PAY
Tells Police His Conscience
Compels Him to
Confess.

San Antonio police are holding a
white man, who identifies himself as
E.. Moody, 40 years old, at his own
request. He says he passed three
worthless checks in Oklahoma and
Tennessee several years ago and that
he is conscious stricken. He wants

determine what procedure they should
take in the premises.
Il came in here TO surrender"
Moody told Police Captain X. C. Ire
vino, as he walked into police head
quarters at 4 o'clock Monday after
noon.
Il want to be frank about it," he
added, when the official asked him
to make himself clear. Il passed sew
eral bad checks and it has worried
me so | just can't stand to be dodg-
ing. 1 want to settle up, pay the

want you to put me in Jail and hold
me until they come and get me-"
The man then related that from
bOyhood he had been engaged in farm
ing. He was born and reared in
Henry county, Tennessee, he said. Due
to crop failures he left his home and
family in Paris, Tenn, 30 years ago.
He was disguised. Since then he
worked on different farms throughout
the West. Two years ago he returned
home. The town had changed, though
he met a few of old friends there.
His family had disappeared. He was
heart-broken. His life had been a
great failure. He could not remain
in the old place, but, because of scant
funds. he could not leave. He passed
$50 check on an old friend and
skipped out" At Nalient, Okla, he
met another old friend who, in his
boyhood days had been his chum. He
worked" him with 500 bogus check.
Then again AZ Jefferson, Tex, when
his funds we're depleted he passed
another $50 check and headed for
Mexico.
"Those three acts" the old man
said, his voice husky with emotion,
'are the only wrongs | ever did my
fellow man. | must pay.

many is to be cleaned from Premier
Bonar Laws speech in the House of

concluded the debate on the joint Lib

Jly to the speech from the thron,
calling upon the League of Nations,
with the help of America, to investi-
gate Germany's ability to pay repara-

termed a dangerous position, in

net, Mr.. Bonar Law said that he, too,
did not approve OF the French step,
but that opposition apparently could
accomplish little or nothing. nasmuch
as the pride of France in forcing the
Germans to terms had been aroused.
He pointed out that France already
had refused 10 look kindly on inter
vention by the league and suggested
that she would hardly be amendable
TO such Il step now.
Mr.. Lloyd-GeOrge. whose sOjourn
"in the Wilderness has resulted in

action was both shOrtsighted. unfor-
tunate and unwarranted, and that the
way was open TO disaster. He as
serted that the collection of repara-
tons was evidently not the only OBJ

Arguing for the motion. the former
prime minister said he was asking Mr..
BOnar Law to take imediately. and
with the cooperation Of the United
States, a step calculated to save the
situation.
Wealthy America, he declared. still
had a share in the responsibility for

It had accepted the entire situation.
Mr.. Lloyd-GeOrge expressed the opin-
ion that France, confronted by the

could not fail to listen to nations that
had put her in the position of a con-
querOr.
He entreated the government TO
take the initiative. first by approach
ing the United States and then with
that country approaching France.
Although the sentiments embodied
in the JOINT amendment undoubtedly
were approved by a majority of the
House. its passage would have repre-
scented censure of the government and
would. therefore, have meant the gov.
ernment's fall. Hence il was voted
down.
