nnd is easily the peer of anything in tho defaulting line tho commonwealth has ever known His crime and ingenious method of cover ing might with very little alteration be converted into n dime novel Story that would eclipso anything of the Dlnmond Dick of Swamprat Bill sort Tho story is full of beautiful mornU that should deter any offlclnljor employe from endeavoring to follow Norlin scheme He was an honored and re spected young man vflth so mnny friends that it was considered he had a sini cure nnd could bo ekcted to the position he occupied ns often as he wished Liko many other men hand ling large sums of other peoples money he wns tempted to speculate and when his speculations had led him so far WTong that ho considered reparation impossible he concluded to make a thorough job stole a largo sum and conceived the idea of protecting himBelf with a burglary and Are story It wan early discovered however that his story didnt connect well The main particulars nppenred to be all right but there were details that lookt d wonder fully KusplcipuB and suggestive of crime Tho investigation started finally re sulted in the guilty man confessing his crime nnd the ricovery of a portion of the money which had been taken NorlinB crime is not let b deplorable because he has been prominent in church and Sunday school work active in the interests of temperance a trusted mem ber of the Knight of Pythias and the Royal Highlanders and last but not least a fuiionist Most defaulters have been content with the simple process of looting without adding attempted arson and Belf inflicted wounds to sus tain a story of burglary but Norlin eonis to have been intent on doing something original and complicated He will undoubtedly suffer exceedingly for his crime most defaulters do es pecially when they have bees so high in public esteem and in one night have fallen bo low In view of this common lot of de faulters it is astonishing that men should continue to steal when they have been honored by their constituents with a high office and position of trust Few escape in this day and age for such crimes If they do manage to evade the punishment of tho law by a technicality they seldom if ever escape public condemnation and social ostra cism Friends and acquaintances shun them and they are considered criminals though they may not have submitted to penal servitude in fact the sympathy of the people Is stronger far those who manfully submit to a deserved and legal punishment than for those who escape Nevertheless whether a man is lawfully punished or not thero is always a stain on his character that he would undoubtedly give many times the value of his loot to have removed The story of the Kearney county de faulter is nn nrgument for honesty thnt should have more
