CENTRE COUNTY MAN
FLEECED IN STOCK DEAL.
Orvis M. Pletcher, a native of Cen-
tre county, is a sadder but very
much wiser man through the loss of
$1500 he invested with a quartette
of Philadelphia promoters in a cor-
poration stock scheme they repre-
sented which is now claimed to be
irregular. According to informa-
tion from Lock Haven Pletcher met
the men in that city. They were
William M. Murphy, J. H. Gaunt,
Edward F. Barry and C, K. Barnes,
all of Philadelphia. The men claim-
ed to represent a large corporation
and induced Pletcher to invest in
some of the stock which he did to
the extent of $1500. This hap-
pened about a month ago. Lately
he came to the conclusion that he
had been fleeced and made informa-
tion against the men. Two of them
were arrested in Philadelphia, last
week, and taken to Lock Haven for
trial.
