BALTIMORE, May 22.-These
embezzlers you read about, who
are they. and what makes them
yield to the temptation to dip into
the boss till?
Mostly, they are white collar
workers-the manager of your
branch bank or store. statesmen,
collectors, clerks, accountants,
cashiers. union officials and even
ships captains.
Their troubles come mostly from
dreaming too much of the flesh
pots.
That description comes from
the United States Fidelity g.
Guaranty Co. in a study of 1.001
case histories of embezzlementS
since 1947. The same firm pub
lished q similar survey in 1887.
The new study discloses that
the typical embezzler today is a
considerably blurred" image of
his predecessor of IS years ago.

'Painfer's S Confession
OF Georgia Staying
Investigated Here

Georgia authorities are investi-
eating a Washington painters
story that he killed q man near
Thomaston, Ca, 20 years ago and
threw his body into a river.
The strange case developed yes
terday afternoon when a man
who identified himself as Harris
L. Doke, 40. walked into police
headquarters and sought out 1t.
Michael j. Mahaney, desk man
at the detective bureau.
1t. Mahaney said Doke volun-
teered that in 1921, shortly after
he was discharged from the Navy,
he returned to his home at Thom-
aston and during an argument
with Jordon Rowe, a cotton mill
employe. hit him on the head with
a rock.
Body Found I'm River.
Doke said he attacked Mr.. Rowe
because he had been too friendly
with his wife while he was in the
Navy, 1t. Mahaney added.
Washington police notified Geor-
gia authorities, who began search
ing hazy memories for details of
the death nearly three decades
ago.
Police Chief Frank Sims of
Thomaston learned that Jordon
Rowe was pulled from the Flint
River-the same stream described
by Doke-in 1921. But he believed
the body was recovered from the
Talbot County side of the river,
and not the Upson County side in
which Thomaston is located.
Deputy Sheriff G. T. Gill of Up
son County believed that a cor
oner's jury had declared Rowe
died accidentally of drowning
but that had not been verified
through records.
Taken to Gallinger.
The Georgia State Bureau of
Investigation and the Solicitor
Generals Office entered the inves-
tigation today to determine wheth-
er police will be sent here to ques-
ton Doke further.
Meanwhile. Doke was under OBJ
servation at Gallinger Hospital
While he was repeating his story
to detectives of the fugitive squad,
Doke complained of head pains
and became noisy and somewhat
violent" police said.
He told police he had lived here
for year and that his most re-
cent address was in the first block
of Eighteenth street Sc.
| Deputy Gill said Doke's wife
still lives near Thomaston with a
son and daughter. He couldn find
no trace Of Mr.. Rowe's relatives
but understood that two sisters
live in Columbus, Ga.
