STOLE TO PROTECT BROTHER
Orlando, Fla., Aug". S. How her life
chanced by a theft committed by
Mother, according to her story, the
pert a dnlcgfd slass of wine played
fid bow a snake blto removed the Inst
fcopo of making good a shortage in postal
accounts for which sho says she was not
responsible, are told in a sworn state
Mrat written by Misi Iiena Clarke in
tht Orange County jnil and given to
i Sbtriff Karcl yesterday. Miss Clarke,
' former postmistress at West Paint
Batch, 1a occulted of the murder and tho
theft of $32,000 from tho poMofflce. In
) ft note accompanying the statement, she
. ld:
"Pursuant with your suggestion yes
terday, I hand you herewith for your
' official records a sworn statement as to
8y coming to Orlando. I herewith
ti'.ace the truth, so far cs 1 remember
It, In your hands nnd commit my soul
to God's keeping."
v Text of Statement
" Miss Clarko'B statement reads:
"I hereby solemnly affirm the fol
lowing facts :
"There were numerous small annoy
ances ovci looked by tno, because they
ware occasioned by F. A. Miltmore b
(the man she is accused of killiug) per
conal ambition to obtain the position
of aeslstant or postmaster at West
Falni Bench.
"The first serious trouble was In
tho flummcr of 3918 when my brother,
Paul Clarke, and I were pushed to tho
limit trying to keep up our regular
work and conduct war work also. At
thla time F. A. Mlltmorp was In town
one evening when my brother and I
had gvnp back after supper to count
and wrap our funds ready for deposit
the next day. Mr. Miltmore advised
my brother that he had brought him n
small bottle of wine nnd offered him a
drink to refresh him, ns Pnul was very
tired. Shortly after drinking a small
portion of the wine my brother began
to net in a peculiar manner nnd I be
came frightened and took him home,
as he hml evidently been doped to mnlio
him wild.
"As soon as I got my brother quiet
X returned to the office, remembering
the money, and as I approached tho
office I met Miltmore going away. I
found upon Investigation that the
amount of about $38,000 which we
were counting had disappeared during
my absence.
"I was naturally frantic over this
and accused Miltmore of drugging my
brother and taking the money. lie
laughed at me at the time and refused
to talk about it. I covered tho matter
because my brother was dearer to me
thntfr my own life. He had been in tho
postul service over twenty years with
out a Haw in his accounts, nnd I
switched the loss to accounts which
were under my control nnd said nothing
about the loss to him when he returned
after nbout two days' illness.
Borrowed $33,000 From El well
v "After battling with the loss for sev
eral months I borrowed the money from
a friend of my brother, whom I sup
posed to be a New York business man,
who had been hunting and Ashing with
my brother In the Everglade. Joseph
EIwoll by nnme. and I was shocked to
learn Inter that ho was n gambler. Some
months after I straightened my accounts
with his money Mr. HI well tried to -hold
it over my bead and threatened to tell
inspectors of the occurrence unless I
gave the money back to him or went to
New York to work for him. I returned
the money as soon as I could and agnln
carried the shortage by shifting figures
And carrying amounts over for about
eighteen months past.
"In the early part of May, 1920. I
worked until niter midnight on my ac
counts, went home leaving all vouchern
in a drawer to ray desk designed for
that purpose. In the morning when I
came to the office the desk was broken
open and the account gone. Also all
record of piid order numbers. I was
completely dlshenrtcned bv thlH loss,
whirh made It almost Impossible for me
to hide the other any longer. I wired
lor an inspector, who arrived In a few
days and recommended to the auditor
that credit be allowed me for the stolen
orders, but I was not sure this would
be done nnd wrote Mr. Hlwell that I
had decided to let him help mo out.
Death Intervened, as he was found
murdered in bis home in New York a
few days Inter, before I heard from
him.
"In the fall of 1020 I received word
from the auditor to deposit $20,000 to
cover the amount of the orders, 'pend
ing a further investigation.' This it
was nnturnlly Impossible for me to do.
I went to Jacksonville In December,
. 1020, intending to ask Inspectors for
1 advice, but I could not speak because
i of their wishes for me to make good
In the position of postmaster which I
had secured.
Death Again Upsets Plans
"I returned home from Jacksonville
and hud a long talk with my brother,
telling him ever thing. lie asked roe
to wait until after Christmas, and ho
would bee whnt we could do. On Christ
mas Day my brotlmr died from a snake
bite and 1 felt thnt my last prop was
knocked uwny I finally decided to try
and cover the lots in a way thnt would
protect both my bondsmen nnd the pos
tal service to which I hod devoted the
best years of my life. I hud a 32000 acci
dent policy and took out a $15,000 life
insurance policy, payable to double itt
.face value: these with a similar policy
Of $0000 payable nt double the faco value
In case of accident would have giveu
542,000 which would have paid all
shortage nnd left a margin for my par
ents. My p'.nn won to take tho first
Federal lleservc shipment which np-
f proximately covered my loss, remit It a
few thousand a day until the shortngo
was eliminated, then, having set my
r accounts In order, ride off the Lake
worth bridge in nn old auto which I
'had obtained, thus giving the npuiar
anee of death by accident, nnd I be
lieved the policies would lie paid by the
time the missing bank packages could be
traced to me,
: "What changed my plans woe not
th .breaking down of a 'mnstcrmlnd,"
aa'was suggested by one who did not
know me well. It was seeing u boy
In trouble, who wan his mother's sole
support, seeing pottfll clerkA In trouble
, who nre young nnd ambitious with a
future before them. I wished to Justify
myself with them nnd with inspectors
by obtaining a statement from Miltmore
aa tq previous occurrences, which 1 felt
sure I could do. I, therefore, left
' West Palm Ueach for Orlando Monday
morning, Auguxt 1. About 5:30 Mon
day evening I sent a note to Mr. Milt
more asking him to cnll nt thp Han
Juan Hotel and I told him briefly
the whole thing. He was very mucu
agitated and grabbed my belt with both
bands nnd asked me to let him go. I
made him tit In tho chair and talk to

pullford Young, confessed slayer
of Ilnrry Garwood, betrnyed hli
guilt to Prosecutor Wolverton when
first arrested by the ngltntcd move
ment of his Adam's npplc, the Pros
ecutor snld today.
While he was otherwise outwardly
cnlm, Mr. Wolverton (.aid, the tell
tale Adam's npplo moved nervously
up nnd down.
"It is nn indication of guilt I
have never known to foil," Bald tho
Camden Prosecutor.
Guilford Young's parents nnd wife
arc so bewildered at his action that they
do not know whether to try and aid the
slayer of Ilnrry Garwood or not. Hi
parents ore on the side of the wife with
out qualification nnd bitterly rctent
Young's accusations ngaiust her mornl
Ity His father Is convinced the con
fessed murderer is not In Ms right
mind.
Kven if tho slnyor'n family was will
ing to nld him in his difficulty, it is
doubtful If they could do much. They
nre very poor, and Young hnd not been
working for some tlmo beforo the crime.
Young's mother is bed-ridden and his
two children hnve omall-pox.
Camden police nre still investigating
the disappearance of Charles Itodgers,
who many claim was last seen with
Young March 11. Prosecutor Wolver
ton is far from convinced Bodgers tupt
with foul play, ns this is not the first
time that lie hns disappeared. Every
clue Is being run down In nn effort to
volve the mystery. Pnrticulnr pnlns nre
being taken to locate Jewelry known to
hnve been worn by the man when he
dljappenred.
Yoiuig Hns ;Few Friends
Prosecutor Wolverton is determined
to mnko a real exnmplo of "Jersey
justice" in tho case of the self-confessed
slnyer. The subterfuge adopted
by the prisoner in trying to hide behind
his wife s skirts in n matter of deep
disgust to all healthy-minded men and
oung has no friends in the rnnks of
the Camden County nuthorlties.
He will bo brought to trial In the
.September torm of court and will prob
ably be one of the first rnses brought
up. Ab his enso is so clearly one of
first-degree murder It is safe to
prophesy thnt he will be in the denth
house nt Trenton before the end of next
month.
Heviewin? the stntus of tho case to
day. County Prosecutor Wolverton said :
"Benjamin Mnrtln, of Hnddonfield,
the mnn said to have mode out a false
bill of smle for Gnrwood'H nutomoblle.
is being held without bnil ns a material
witness.
"I will hold n consultation today with
Justice Kntzcnboch in regard to the
calling of the Grnnd Jury, looking to
n speedy indictment of Young.
Taxi Drivers' Story
"Slnco Young's arrest taxicnb drivers

"The automatic nlstol Younc had

Mr. Wolverton snid Young still main

The Prosecutor expressed himself ns

Boston. When off tho Scilly Islands,
noar the southern coabt of England,
therb was nn explosion in the hold of

Sensing tho danger, Captain O'Brien
Imincdiatel placed tils wife In n liV'ioat
In the enre of a seaman and hud it w

Sunday Ball Teams
Under Peace Bonds
Continued from Tme One
cent for the grandstand nnd twenty
five cents for blenchers. No admission
was charged for the Sunday games.
"Because It whs too expensive to
bring an outside team to n home field
for npproxinately $100 a game, even
on Sunday," Mr. Itclfsnyder said,
"ballots were distributed among fans
nt the weekday games for the last two
weeks oskiag them to decide If the
thirty-five-cent grandstand rate should
prevail witnout n Mumjay gntne neing
plnycd or If weekday prices should be
raised to fifty cents for a grandstand
scat, with thirty-five cent for the
bleachers, and tho Sundny game be
provided free."
When the fans voted for the free
Suuday game with Increased voekday
prices, Lieutenant Bnrrett snld Tester
day, he construed It lo mean that the
Sundny game was to be commercialized.
Acting on orders from Captain Nich
olas J. Kenny, of the North Philadel
phia District, If commercialization was
evident at any game the lieutenant was
to arrest xnembcre of the teams par
ticipating. Saturday night. Lieutenant Bar
rett says, he called up John Kramer,
president of the North Philadelphia As
sociation, at their club looms, m North
Palrhlll urcct near Pike, and In
structed him to call off tho gnmc as the
proposed play was deemed to bo com
mercialized. Lieutenant Barrett says
Kramer promised to consult the plnyers
about tho matter, hut Immediately
ufterwnrds replied that tho game would
be played regardless of the police
warning.
Together with four policemen of his
district. Lieutenant Barrett was on the

HELD UNAVOIDABLE
Reserve Banking System's
Credit Movements Detailed by
Governor Strong
REPLIES TO WILLIAMS
By Uio Associated Press
Washington, Aug. 8. Further an
swer to charges that the Federal Re
serve system discriminated against
agricultural interests, in credit control
wns begun today bcfoTc a congressional
commission by Benjamin Strong, Gov
ernor of the New York Reserve Banlt.
"It is the desire of the bank to take
up the series of charges and assertions
mndo before jou by John Skrlton Wil
liams, exCcomptroller of the Treasury,"
snld Governor Strong, "to meet him on
his own ground nnd to dispose of them
finally and conclusively.
"Mr. Williams hns Bnid it wns the
policy of the reserve bnnk to divert the
supply of money, fundu or credit lie
doesn t distinguish between them into
New York to furnish funds for specu
lative purposes, I shnll try to show
ulmt the nnllcies nctunltv were."
Governor Strong at length described
credit movements since the founding of
the bnnk. declaring that from 1W17 to
lf)18. "Inflation wns unavoidable to. the
degree that people of the United States
did not could not nnnncc tne wnr oui
of savings."
To Hiipply SlS.000,000,000 a year, he
snld, in orded that armies might fight,
"It was necessary either to tnKc mju
per rent of nil the labor nud all tho
material of the 1'nitcd States, or to
manufacture credit, and by high prices,
stimulate nroductlon to the point."
"War necessities the choice of
evils." he declared, "not the selection
of the best policy. Expansion was un
cscapable. Economy, sought by every
variety of organization that might help
educate the people of the United States,
was not attainable lo the degree of
necessity."

London, Aug. 8. Whllo no definite
pronouncement could be obtained this
forenoon regarding tho case of John J.
McKcown, member of tho Irish Repub
lican Parliament, tho impression wns
given in official circles hero that he
would bo released with the other Sinn
Fein members who hnve been In prison.
Grnvn complications entered into tho
Irish situation ns n result of n report
that tho Government had decided not
to liberate McKcown, who is under con
viction of murder. An outburst of in
dignant tinccr was heard in the ranks
of tho Sinn Fein. . .
Thoro wero reports in this city last
night that an Immediate termination of
the truce by the Sinn Fein was probable,
but the Associated Press, after n close
Inoiilev In rstnnltiln nnnrters in Dub
lin, was unable to Hnd nny nuthoriza-
tion for such n rumor.
McKeown, n blncksmith bv trade. Is
representative in the Irish Republican
Pnrllnnicnt for Longford nnd Wcst
menth. His exploits have surrounded
him with a halo of romnnce. which hns
appealed to the Imagination of the
people, nnd, under the appellation of
"tho chivalrous blacksmith of Bal
llnalce," McKcown has been extolled In
one of those bnllnds denr to the Irish
In times of political excitement.
This ballnd hns achieved immense
popularity, nnd hns helped to cstnblish
McKcown on the pedestal of fame. The
resentment of the Sinn Fein over the
Government's nttltudc is. therefore.
commensnrnte with the admiration of
the people for him.
Frnok Carty, the only other member
of the Irish Republican Parliament still
In Mount Joy Jnil in Dublin, was re
leased last night.
It was pointed out thnt the Irish
prisoners were being progressively re
leased nnd here ngnin the guarded intl
mution wns given thnt the enso of Mc
Keown would be reached in due time.
Pads, Aug. 8. (By A. P.) A mes
sage from the Irish Republican cnbinet,
broucht by courier to Pnris. was de
livered to Premier Lloyd Gcorgo here
today. Lp to the early afternoon no
reply hud been sent.
Dublin. Aug. 8. (By A. P.) Ea
mon de Vnlcrn, discussing with news
papermen today the case of John J.
McKeown, declared he did not believe
the refusnl to release McKcown with
tho other Imprisoned members of the
Irish Republican Pnrlinment repre
sented tho considered decision of the
British Government. It was done, he
thought, by subordinates who based
their action on technicalities.
Krsklnc Childers, associated with
Sinn Fciu leaders, declared today the
statement thnt no meeting of the Irish
Republicnn Parliament could be held
until McKeown was released was wholly
unfounded. Such a etatcmont was pub
lished this morning an an official Sinn
rein pronouncement.

circles thnt the reply of Premier Llovd
George from Paris regarding Mc
Kcown s case will be piompt nnd favor

NEW YORK'S SOCIAL LIFE
TYPIFIED IN CHURCH ART
Twelve Paces, Not of the Apostlea,
Adorn Portal of St. Thomas'
New York, Aug. 8. Curious persons
from all over the city came yesterday to
inspect New York's hew show place,
ns the fnshionnble St. Thomas' Church
Is now designated. This beautiful ex
ample .of Gothic architecture, which
hns long been an ornament to Fifth
avenue, has had added' attractions for
the Investigator slnco the discovery of
the dollar mark traced in the carvings
over the portal opposite the true-lovers'
knot in tho panel above the "bride, s
entrance," ns It is called, just south
of the main entrance of the church.
Churchgoers whotook tho nalncs to
examine closely wero rewarded br find
ing faces of men and women carved in
tho stone to represent well known Fifth
avenue types. E. Donald Robb, of the
now dissolved firm of Cram, Goodhue
& Ferguson, the architects who de
signed tho church, explained that Just
as tho lovers' knot nnd the dollar
mark represent marriages with and
without true love", so also the fnecs have
their significance.
There are twelve faces In nil. but
thev are not of the Apostles. .Each is
n little smnller than a man's fist,
and the group typlllwt the pageant' of
Fifth avenue life as It was ten jenrs
ago nnd as It Is today.
Of tho twelve faces tbrco arc of men
with .side whiskers nnd three urc of
men with monocles nnd mustaches. But
no two of them are Mike. For example,
the first monocle wearer on the right
obviously Is the 6ort of person who
would not be allowed even in the back
doors of the more rcspcctnble. He hns
a weak face, with bad lines about tho
nose and eyes, and n sensuous droop
to his mouth. On the other side, how
ever, is a mnn of n different quality.
True, he has the same monocle and the
same mustache as the other, but his
hair is not kept slovenly, his Jaw shuts
tighter and his look is cleaner. He
probably would make a good polo
player. . .
Likewise, each of tho three with
sido whiskers is different. One of them,
called "Old Money Bags" by many
.f,n o.ur him. hns heavy pouches under
his eyes. Ills mouth is hard. Except
for a little curl which hangs over his
Cm-MipiwI Iia is nearly bald. Another
caused much comment bcenUso thcro Is
something about his noso which leads
the observer to explain in spue oi mm
self:
"As I live and brcnthc, it s a rum
Klneonm.
Then thero Is a woman on the right
side who looks both pltirul ana wise.
lTnr llns nre nnnrt. sllKhtlv twlbtcd and
heavy. A thln-fnCod woman lookca
nt her for u minute nnd then. In n
voice that sounded spiteful, called the
womnn In stone 'a divorcee.
