Former Fremont
Banker Begins
Term at Lincoln
Frank B. Knapp Drops Ap
peal From Fmbrzzlnnrnt
. Charge and Civet
Self Up.
Fremont, Marh 7. (J'cci4l
Telegram.) Frank H. Knapp, former
president of Ilie J- iiJcUty 'Jrut torn
pany, dropped hi ppral t the
uprrriie tourt yesterday sftrrnoon
and entered the tatc penitentiary at
Lincoln to begin a term of one to
rvrn tari for cmbefileinent.
The original imtrnre handed down
by Judge Hutton ordered Knapp to
the lie penitentiary for a term of
from three to five yer. He wai
found guilty of embezzling $3,585
pbeed in hi rare by Stephen Car-
i venter, 80, farmer living outh of
'rrniont.
When Judg Fiutton pronounced
the ncntenc. informed Attorney
rMurdoek, Om. ha, Ktupp'i lawyer,
ft tt'at if restitution was made, he
would subtract two years from the
minimum and add it to the maximum.
As a result, the sentence was
changed.
Indications during the last week
pointed toward the withdrawal of
Knapp'i appeal to the supreme court,
tut nothing definite had been done
until he actually gave himself tip to
the oltiriaM. Me telephoned his de
cision from Lincoln to Judge But
1on, who immediately ordered the
dismissal of the appeal.
Deputy Sheriff V. L. Johnson
journeyed to Lincoln yesterday after
noon and met Knapp at the corner of
Tenth and O streets, prepared to
begin his sentence. They boarded a
street car for the peniientiary and in
a few moments the big steel gates
clanged behind the former president
of the local trust company.
Other cases are pending in dis
trict court against Knapp. while the
report mads by T. L. Mathews, re-ce-ver
for the defunct Fidelity Trust
company, contained much evidence
alleging unlimited speculation with
funds belonging to clients of the institution.
