from this deposit
 When the term of the note was about to expire he would borrow from another bank larger sum, making the same ar engagements, and repaying the money bor- rowed from bank number one. If the second loan was for fifteen or twenty thousand it can be seen how this ir,- debtedness, in the name of the Mission Board. amounted to a high total as the years passed.
 And there must have come a time when Cancs saw ahead of him the end of the road. He was too deeply involved to go on. It was at this juncture, apparently, that he decamped.
 Leaving on business trip for his em- ployers, Carnes was supposed to be gone a few days on tour of Eastern cities When he did not communicate with his family or put in his appearance for ten days his wife grew alarmed and notified the Board, whose president sent telegrams to the various banks which Carnes was supposed to have visited. None of them had seen him.
 Then auditors were put to work on the treasurer's books, though no one suspected

grant to this country from her native Norway. She was quick to accept Carnes's offer on similar terms.
 None of the three women could give any information to the authorities as to the mission workers whereabouts. They had not seen or heard from him since he disappeared, and, more distressing, their allowances" had abruptly ceased.
 So detectives intrusted with the case went far back into the mans career. What they brought to light forms story more expressing, more fraught with crime and rectitude, responsibility and misdemeanor, than any Jekyl Hyde con coction of the fictioneers.
 Here is the official chronicle in the files of the Atlanta Federal Prison, dat ing from the time of Carnes's first joust with the law fifteen years ago:
 "C. s. Carnes, aliases: Clinton 5. Carnes, S. C. Carnes, George Harris, Lindberg Real Estate Company.
 Prescription: Age, about 37; height. feet inch; weight, 147 pounds; slim built; dark complexion; good teeth; black hair; brown eyes; straight nose; thin face
 "Peculiar mark: Scar on right cheek
 "Carnes was indicted March 6, 1913, at Birmingham, Ala, for using the mails to defraud at that place during 1911. In this scheme he advertised in one of the Birmingham papers that he wanted .

ployed by the Atlanta Baptist Home Mis- sions Board to audit its books. So well did he manage this job that the church organization gave him permanent po- sition.
 Soon he professed conversion to the Baptist faith Che had previously been Methodist) and was duly baptized. From that time on his career was one ot con stantly increasing eminence among church folk and in the community.
 He inaugurated new method Of bookkeeping, which proved vastly more efficient than the one formerly in use, and displayed marked executive ability. As the years passed he grew steadily more valuable to the Baptist Home Mis- sion Board, until at meeting of the directors he was finally made treasurer and given carte blanche in the matter of negotiating loans for the board.
 Meanwhile there had been develop ments in Carnes's domestic sphere. When he had been arrested fiften years before he had left destitute a wife and two sons. Mrs. Carnes had instituted suit for divorce, and was granted decree on grounds of cruelty and the fact that he had misappropriated the funds of liter ary society of which she was treasurer, subjecting her to deep humiliation.
 The pastor of Carnes's Atlanta church learned of the estrangement, although he

business partner with sl,00O to join him in discounting the salaries of employees of a mining camp. Carnes was time keeper for the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power Company, and he repre- sented that by virtue of his position he was able safely to discount the salaries of large number of employees of that concern.
 "He claimed that such a business would yield large monthly dividends, with the result that many persons gave him large sums of money, aggregating about S15. 5.o0O.'
 With this money he disappeared. and did not turn up for three years-untl his arrest for fraudulent operations in con- nection with his "Lindberg Real Estate Company He was sentenced in Clinton Mo-. to four months in the county jail. and as soon as his time was up there he was rearrested and sent to Atlanta for thirteen months as result Of his earlier confidence game in Birmingham.
 That was Carnes's crimi.al record, which no one suspected when he was em-

did not learn its cause. Through his
 efforts the couple were reunited in marriage and Carnes was joined by his family just as his fortunes began to wax. The sons had never know of their fathers criminal record.
 From modest apartment the mission treasurer moved his family. first into snug bungalow. and later into home of ample proportions, with wide lawn, where fountains played, car and ser wants.
 No whisper of suspicion was directed toward him during these years. The Baptist Board considered him invaluable and trusted in him implicitly. And all this time Carnes was signing notes for the Mission Board, obtaining money from banks and diverting it to his own uses. His sudden access to fortune was ex- plained by "a killing in a soft drink stock" How Carnes relieved his employers of the money, maintaining an untorn veil of secrecy around his methods, and the circumstances of his disappearance are two interesting features of the case

the distinguished Atlanta citizen; it was a mere formality. The resulting report, however, showed a deficit of nearly $l,O00,0O0 and made the entire business clear.
 Loath as his co-workers in the church society were to believe that Carnes had been guilty of ''re-arranging" the books to his own gain, the facts spoke eloquently for themselves. The money was gone and the treasurer was gone with it.
 Another feature of his hidden "other life" was his strange pact with the two girls. A formal contract was signed be- tween hi mand the chaperone and her charges. Complying with it's terms, Carnes sent the would-be stars some $13,000, though up to the time of his disappearance the girls had apparently missed the magic talisman to movl. money and celebrity.
 At this point centers a novel and baf- fling question.
 Carnes was unquestionably man of considerable shrewdness and knowledge of the world. He must have known that the girls chances of attaining moving picture eminence through the channels he
New Britain herald., 1928-10-27

there never had been such a person as the man who spent more than a year in Atlanta. And now comes this, the worst tragedy of all-'
 The younger of Carnes' sons was scheduled to return to college this year, but the sad turn of events made it inn possible. The older son is college graduate and his earnings, of course, will aid the family which a few short months ago was considered wealthy.
 Mrs Carnes has intimated that as soon as her affairs are put in order she plans to take her two boys away to some re- mote city where they will be unknown where once more she can make an at- tempt to build for permanence on the ruirs of her twice-shattered happiness.
 The capture of her husband in Canada not so long ago may influence Mrs. Carnes' plans, and it certainly raises an interesting question as to whether she will stand by him again, after two dis illusionments.
 All Atlanta awaits the trial and the possible further light that it may throw on the personality and character of this strange man.
New Britain herald., 1928-10-27

It is sardonic turn of fate that again places the long suffering wife of the mission worker in such circumstances.

 His hope, then. of cashing in financially on the contracts signed with them could not ave been very great. Why, ! ,n, did he do it? From all
 at the police have been able k ) learn, the relationship be- : veen the middle-ageu ue- 1 utter and his "'i"' ,"a'o~-0"s :'as strictly a business one. After they had signed the papers they immediately left for the Coast and he did not see either of them again.
 These bizarre documents, duly attested before witnesses, are perhaps the strangest part of the entire episode.
 When the two girls-Sonia, with her delicate Scandinavian beauty, and Lois, a chic bru- nette, received word that their "angel" had absconded, their only comment was:
 "To think that Mir. Carnes would do a thing like that! He was such a fine man, too"
 And not improbably:
 "Now we'll have to go back to work in an office, hang the luck!"
 Meanwhile the ex-"good man" of Atlanta's assets were being liquidated, his house and car sold, his servants dis missed, to repay at least a little of the missing million,

CAFE SCORES IN
RUM TRIAL

In the District Supreme Court to-
day, Arthur Reilly, chemist, was
called by Meyer Davis, owner of LIE
Paradis Cafe, for the purpose OF
establishing that one couldn't tell
from taste and small alone whether
a fluid contained more than the legal
quantity of alcohol.
Numerous witnesses testified they
smelled liquor in the cafe. Asked
to smell bottle, supposed to con.
tain corn whisky. he said it had
some odor of corn, but that he
could not swear that it was corn
whisky. Handed a sample Of new
rye" the witness looked, then
shifted and then partook it. He
declined to give an opinion that it
was whisky.
Major William L. Browning, vice
president of the MayfIoWer Hotel
and a member of the District Bar
Association, testified Of several
visits to the cafe and declared that
he saw but one instance Of sur
reptftious pouring from "a private
Task He declared that the cafe
was properly run and visited by
persons Of high standing and re-
finement. He denied, as alleged by
the Government, that it was a
nuisance.
A practice of foreign diplomats
using the cloak of their immunity
to do their drinking in the open
at lie Paradis was barred in the tes-
timony of Eugene Fry. q real estate
broker.
Fry, defense witness, stated he
had been the guest at diplomatic
parties in the past four years at
which no attempt whatever was
made to conceal the fact that they
were drinking.
