SICKLY WOMAN EMBEZZLER SET FREE BY JUDGE Sentence of Defendant Weighing Only 78 Pounds Suspended in U. S. Court. By 7 imr* Special FT. WAYNE. Ind.. May 3—Mrs. Erna W. Stoner. 29. Lafayette, who embezzled funds of the Lincoln National Bank and Trust Company here while in its employ, is at liberty under suspended sentence imposed by Judge Thomas W. Slick after she entered a plea of nolo contendre. She was fined SIOO on six counts and given two-year terms in the federal women's prison at Aiderson. W. Va., on each count, the sentences to run concurrently. The accused woman, who weighs only seventy-eight pounds, appeared near collapse as she withdrew a plea of not guilty and entered the one which admitted truth of the charge. She did not look at her husband or parents as the plea was changed. No Good in Sentencing Before passing sentence, Judge Slick said ••The cowardly thing for me to do to appease public sentiment, is to send her to jail for life. Then people would say, ‘There is a real judge.’ But I’m not going to do the cowardly thing. There is no reason why I should wreck her life. She’s wrecked her own life, almost. I believe the girls here in the courtroom have a living example of wrong doing when they see what she has suffered. There would be no good of sentencing her.” Paroled to Attorney Judge Slick paroled Mrs. Stoner for two years to her counsel, Dan Flanagan. Although defense counsel declared Mrs. Stoner had taken $2,500, officials of the bank declared the shortage was $12,000. Flanagan declared that when his client signed a statement regarding the shortage in July she had been without sleep for three days and nights.

Anderson Pro Only Man on Course Who Tried to Chase Animals Away. BU Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., May 3.—W. O. Tinder, professional at the Grandview municipal golf course, became a modern Buffalo Bill when a herd of buffalo, escaped from the Miller Brothers 101 Ranch circus, stampeded on the golf links. Lure of grass on the links brought the buffaloes across White river, up a steep bluff to the course, where golfers took one look, dropped their clubs and scurried to the nearest shelters. Although the Buffaloes preferred grass to human flesh, nobody took any chances of getting in the open except the professional, who was moved by a determination to save the expensive greens. He ventured forth in real cowboy fashion, except a horse. One of the herd made for a permanent green and was about to take a bite of it when Tinder chased it away. Other buffaloes, not so particular, were content to munch on the fairway grass. Presently a real cowboy hove into view from across the river and took command of the situation. Almost the first thing he did was to ride his horse across the prize No 18 green to the accompaniment of angry shouts from the golfers who by this time had regained their courage. The cowboy finally persuaded the animals to retire from their newfound grazing, and they were returned to the show grounds. Officials of the circus settled for the damage done to the green. Whether the settlement was on the basis of money or complimentary tickets was not disclosed.
