ficiency appropriation and also new
Standards of admittance for pupils

before the board in many months

EmbezzIement Counts

William w. Arbuckle. so, will ap-
peal the verdict of q District Court
jury convicting him on five counts
of embezzlement, totaling $545, from
the United States when he man.
aged the Senate restaurant in 1889,
defense counsel announced today.
The jury returned its verdict at
Sis pm. yesterday, after deliberat-
ing for three hours and Is minutes.
Arbuckle, mathematics teacher
at Georgetown University, was
taken to the District Jail when
Justice Jennings Bailey denied con-
tinuance of bond, pending motion
for a new trial. Defense counsel
has five days in which to file its
motions. w
The maxium penalty is five years
in prison and a 5000 fine on. each
count. Justice Bailey directed a
verdict Of not guilty in five of 10
counts in the original Indictment
charging embezzlement Of $1,000
because of insufficient evidence.
Second Conviction.
This is the second time District
Court jury has convicted Arbuckle.
In November, 1914, the Court of
Appeals reversed the first District
Court conviction and remanded the
case to the lower court for retrial.
Assistant United States Attorney
Ray L. jenkins hailed the verdict
as disproying the defense contention
that Senator Byrd. Democrat, of
Virginia, pressed the charges in
order to discredit former Senator
Nicely, Democrat, of West Virginia,
who appointed Arbuckle. Mr.. Nicely
is now a member of the House.
In his closing address to the jury,
Mr.. jenkins described Arbuckle as "a
political parasite hanging to the
coattails of those he served"
The all-male jury returned to the
court three times before bringing
in a verdict, once to rehear Ar
buckles testimony that he paid the
money in question to E. H. King,
former restaurant treasurer, and
twice at the request of the court.
The first time the foreman said
he did not think they could reach
a verdict. Urged by Justice Bailey
to 'try and get together" he re-
ported at pm. that 1--WE think

King on Vacation.
In his instructions to the jury,
Justice Bailey said the vital ques-
ton was whether Arbuckle turned
over to Mr.. King money he received
from the cashier during Septem-
ber, 1888.
1.-The evidence shows it was the
responsibility of King, when he
was on duty, to deposit restaurant
funds and to see to their proper
disbursement" the Justice observed.
Mr.. King was on vacation during
September.
Defense Attorney Warren Magee
chided the prosecution for start
ing out with a $4,000 deficit and

The Lincoln Memorial, the White

They do not see the theater at all.
