SYRACUSE, N. Y., aug 32 (U. P.).—John Montague, who had heard himself called the “Paul | Bunyan” golfer of Hollywood, a “mystery man” and finally a mod- | ern Jean Valjean, comes home to- | day to the bedside of his sick mother. He had been freed on $25,000 bail from Essex County Jail at Elizabethtown, N. J., pending trial | on a charge of participating in a $700 roadhouse robbery seven years | ago. The State claimed that he changed his name from Laverne Moore to Montague after the crime, and fled to California where he became the golfing pal of Bing Crosby and other movie stars. The dapper, genial “wizard of | the links” was freed by Supreme Court Justice Byron Brewster, who | likened him to Victor Hugo's hero. | . Your history for the past | Six or seven years seems to in- | dicate to me,” Justice Brewster said, “that vou will be willing to] meet the charge here in a fair, | upright, honest and courageous manner. “Indeed, you seem to present to | me In many respects a modern portrait, having great likeness to that famous character painted by Victor | Hugo—you appear to be a modern ‘Jean Valjean'.” |
