LEGAL NOTICE

Notice is hereby given by the
Trustees of Parkman Township,
Geauga County, Ohio, that on
the 9Th day of December, 1854,
we filed a petition in the Com
mon Pleas Court of G eaug a
County, Ohio, for authority to
transfer the sum of Two Thou
sand Dollars ($2,000.0O). Said
sum being a part of the un-
appropriated General Fund of
said Township of Parkman to
be transferred to the Road and
Bridge Fund of said Township
by reason of the fact that there
is surplus in the General
Fund and there is not suffi-
cient money in the Road and
Bridge Fund to take care of
the needs Of said Township and
for the further reason that the
balance left in said General
Fund will be sufficient for the
needs of said Township.
The prayer of said petition is
that the Court find that a ne
ceSSity exists for the said
transfer and that no injury will
result therefrom and order the
petitioners to make such trans
fer.
Said cause will be for hear
ing before Honorable Judge
Harold j. Richmond in his

Bill was seven years old
when his family moved out of
a slum apartment" over a
junkshop in Southwest Wash
ington to a bright new brick
housing project.
It changed him-for the
worse.
From q boy with a good
school attendance record, Bill
became a chronic truant. He
got into trouble with the
police on a charge Of breaking
into a school.
He became harder and hard
er to control. When his father
went looking for him in a
nearby woods. he would find
Bill standing in a path and
watching him. If the father
ran after him, Bill would stand
still-until the father ran into
a pit the boy had dug in the
path and covered with tree
limbs.

and all the other ills Bill had

Like his brothers and sis
ters, Bill practically grew up
there. He started at 3. Later
he went there after school.
He liked the craft shop and
painting and the carpentry
shop and the game room. He
would bring home things he
had made out of clay, or
painted. The house found
ways for him to earn the 81
a year "dues" by putting his
talents to work.
There is nothing like that
near his new home in the far
Southeast. Bill doesn't think
he's having any fun anymore,
so he goes looking for it often

By Beard Told
Al Tax Trial
Witnesses Cite Autos,
Reul Estute and
Financial Activities
BY Jack Jonas
Stor Stof Correspondent

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. IA
Federal Court jury got q look at
Sam Boards private property
today as the Government sought
to show that the Washington
gambler amassed a fortune dur
ing his gambling heyday.
Witnesses from Washington
told about purchases of auto
mobiles, transfers of real estate
and other financial dealings in
volving Beard and his wife, Mrs.
Lillian M. Beard.
The appearance of today's wit
nesses was preliminary to testi-
mony by E. Russell Kennedy. jr.,
a special agent for the Federal
revenue service. He is scheduled
to testify later about an investi-
cation he made into Boards
holdings.
OFF Refuses to Talk.
Murray H. OF maintained his
reputation for silence yesterday
afternoon when he appeared as
witness in the income tax eva
sion trial.
OF, of 1886 Sixteenth street
NV, Washington, pleaded the
Fifth Amendment and refused
to answer questions about any
dealings he may have had with
Beard.
Some Of the questions put to
him by United States Attorney
George Cochran Doub paral-
leled those OF refused to an
swer during a 1852 appearance
before the Senate District Crime
Investigating subcommittee.
OF would not tell the jury
whether he operated the State
Wide News Distributing Co., a
race wire service at 3701 Bla-
densburg road, Colmar Manor,
Md. That address has been
linked to Beard by other wit
neSSes.
He also would not say whether
he knew Beard, or how long he
has been in Washington. If he
answered, he said, it might
tend to incriminate me-" The
only questions to which he re-
piled concerned his name and
address.
Erickson Testifies.
His refusal to testify eclipsed
the appearance of Frank Erick-
son. one-time New York gam
bling czar, who testified about
$180.000 worth of his checks that
wound up in Boards hands.
Erickson said the checks -
nine of them for $4,000 each
represented payment for clay
off" bets Beard had made with
him. He explained this often
was done by gamblers when
betting got too high on a par
ticular horse.
The Government has listed
the checks as part of Boards
income for 1914. Erickson said
he did not believe Beard got
any of the money, since it rep
resented gambling losses.
One Washington witness in
the SIG million tax evasion trial
has failed to appear. Chief Fed
eral Judge William c. Coleman
yesterday issued a bench war;
rant and ordered deputy United
States marshals to bring him in
to give his testimony.
He was identified as Mitchell
