IN THE NATTER OF
HARRY A KAHLER

Friends of Harry A. Kahler have
suggested that the people of his old
home community withhold judg-
ment until the conclusion Of the
trial now in progress in New York
City, in which he is involved. Mr..
Kahler is former chairman of the
board Of directors of the now de-
funct New York Title and Mortgage
company, and he and four other
former officers and directors of
this company are being tried on a
federal charge of mail fraud and
conspiracy. While Mr.. Kahler en-
tered a plea of guilty to the indict-
ment, trial of his fellow officers is
still in progress, and before it's
termination, facts and mitigating
circumstances might be brought out
which might throw an entirely diff
ferent light on the case. In any
event Mr.. Kahler is a mebmer Of
two of the old and highly respect
ed McConnelsville families and he
should be given the benefit Of any
doubt in his old home community.
