BANK HEAD SENT T0-U S. PRISON

~~ Willis W. Crabb, Called ‘King’ of Delavan, Convicted of Forgery.

PEORIA, II, Feb. 16 (U. P.).— Willis W. Crabb, former banker and head of a socially prominént banking family of three generations standing, waited in the County Jail today for removal to a Federal prison to serve a four-year term for mishandling bank funds.

Until a month ago he was president of the Tazewell County National Bank at nearby Delavan. Yesterday Federal Judge J. Leroy Adair sentenced him for forgery ond falsification of accounts which had led to shortages of more than $75,000. A year ago Crabb was the most respected citizen at Delavan, a community which his grandfather helped develop. He owned a pretentious home and large tracts of farmland throughout central Illinois, and he was a leader in the county's civic and social life. Today he is ill and broker his money gone, the result of adversities which started last March when his daughter-in-law, Betty Collison Crabb, 19, wife of his son, James, 21, was shot to death in his home.

Husband Changed Story

Young Crabb was accused of slaying his wife. She died in a secondfloor bedroom of the Crabb home after he had accompanied her to a party celebrating their marriage three months earlier. He said she shot herself but later changed his story and said she had been shot accidentally while struggling with him for possession of a gun. He was tried on a charge of manslaughter and the jury disagreed. A few weeks later he was convicted of perjury. That case now is pending on appeal to the State Supreme Court. ‘The elder Crabb had fought bitterly to save his son from jail. He became ill and developed a nerve ailment in his leg. Last month authorities discovered shortages in the banks’ accounts and he resigned . Authorities said he had been misapplying funds for nearly five years and had forged several notes. Crabb admitted his misdeeds and turned over his estate, valued at $75,000, to make up the losses. His first wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Crabb, Bloomington, Ill, whom he divorced several years ago, signed a $10,000 bond that permitted him his liberty until he came to trial yesterday. His present wife, Catherine, a former manicurist, also stood by him. She said she would find a job.

Family Not in Court

He was indicted Saturday. None of his family was present when he limped into court yesterday. His wife peeked at the proceedings through a window.

He offered no defense and pleaded nolo contendere, a procedure in which sworn testimony is waived and .the judge bases his ruling on the statement of prosecution and defense attorneys. Defense Attorney E. E. Horton pleaded for leniency and hinted that Crabb had used some of the money in defense of his son. “His acts were those of a father seeking to protect a son who needed help,” he said. District Attorney Howard Doyle answered the plea with the statement that Crabb had been mishandling funds for several years— at least four—before his son became entangled with the law. He described Crabb as the deposed king of his ligle empire of Delavan. “His downfall,” he said “could be summed up in the fact that he was the king of a little empire and that the king could do no wrong because he ran a one-man bank.”

After 20 Years. oars. She Takes Things as They Come, Calls Spade a Spade.

So, if a man doesn’t get arrested and hasn’t committed a crime he's no bother to police, eh! “Bah,” “said Policewoman Lillian M. Jaschka, emphatically and without equivocation. Miss Jaschka spends her Sunday mornings telling relatives of men who have not come home Saturday night that the missing men are not in jail, have not been in jail and that police want no part of them. Miss Jaschka has charge of the information bureau at Police Headquarters. On Sundays her job mainly is to tell distracted wives that if their. husbands are on the lam, the police are entirely innocent in the case.

Wonders at Wives’ Patience

Mostly, she suspects, they hope that their husbands have been arrested—not seriously or permanently, but just easy-like—because of their greater accessibility in that event. “Why some women put up with some men the way they do, I never could understand,” Miss Jaschka declared. “Week after week they come in to see if their husbands have been arrested when they didn’t come home.”

policewoman and because of her extensive knowledge of the department which she has served for 20 years, she answers the questions to which younger persons in the Bureau think there's no answer. She was a County Jail matron for four years, for 10 years she was on street duty, for several years she took telephoned complaints, and now she’s in the information

booth. Refuses to Be Bluffed

“After 20 years one learns to take things as they come,” she said. “I'm a plain woman and call a spade a spade. I don’t let them bluff me.” ; Miss Jaschka became interested in police work because her two brothers, now dead, were members of the Police Department. When there was talk about appointing a policewoman during the World War, she applied and got the job. She drives her own car; lives in a cottage she built at 3226 .E. 10th St.; does her own housework; has a pet toy fox terrier; likes to’ raise flowers, and is a good shot with a pistol. Miss Jaschka believes that women

Here's good advice for a. woman during her change (usually from 38 to 52), who fears she’ll lose her appeal to men, who worries about hot flashes, loss of pep, dizzy spells, upset nerves arid moody spells.
