MUNCIE “MODEL CITIZEN” PAID $125,000 BLACKMAIL

MUNCIE, Oct. 25.—(INS)—Geo. L. Haymond, 60-year old “model citizen” of Muncie paid more than $125,000 in blackmail on an original illegal loan of $.1,000 many years ago, Haymond’s friend* revealed here today while Prosecutor Joe H. Davis was announcing he was hushing the preparations of affidavits charging Haymond with embezzling $53,000 of

Muncie’a school funds.

Haymond resigned as treasurer of th« Muncie school board several days ago when field examiners of the state hoard of account* discovered the al-

leged shortage in his accounts. While Haymond remained at his home today under the care of a physician the town was further shocked with reports that Haymond’s alleged j defalcations may reach $100,000. The authorities say Haymond had confessed he had converted to his I own use $27,500 in bonds which he j had purchased for a Muncie widow as an investment. Auditors today were checking over j the accounts of the local Y. W. C. A. Haymond was treasurer of several special fund* of this organization. No report on the condition of these funds will be made until the auditors complete their work it was said. Three or four other charges of embezzlement have been hurled at Haymond and were being probed it was

said.

The unfortunate original $3,000 loan which caused Haymond’s troubles his friends said was made to a former Muncie resident after the People's Trust Company of which Haymond was vice-president, had refused to loan the money on the collateral offered as security. Haymond was alleged to have made the loan himself from funds technically not hi* own his friends said. The man who borrowed the money found this out and began systematically to black mail Haymond. Prosecutor Davis said his morning that Haymond would be arrested sometime today following the filing of the affidavits.

RETURN TO TIONS GIVEN

HOMES—EXCEP-

Students of DePauw university and other colleges of the state may be forced to go to their homes if they vote in the general election, Tuesday, Nov. 6. This developed with a ruling by the state board of election commissioners concerning the rights of students to vote in college towns. The ruling was made by W. W. Spencer and Fred C. Cause, who with Governor Ed. Jackson, compose the board. It sets out that the student is not a resident of the town in which the institution is located if he does not intend to remain in the place permanently or has another home to which he will return after finishing his education or in event of sickness. “But the undergraduate who is free from parental control and regards the place where the college is situated as his home is entitled to vote there as any other resident of the place,” provided other requirements of the election law are complied with, the ruling set out. The application of the student at matriculation, in which he gives his home city, should be good evidence as to his intention to claim the University city as his home, the opinion stated.

THE GRANADA Ken Maynard’s Latest Picture Is “Different” | “The Wagon Show,” a western pic-! ture with a circus background, a story combining the thrills, romance, daring stunts and trick riding of the two, is Ken Maynard’s latest feature, which comes to the Granada Theatre today. This unusual departure from the regular western picture fulfills a long standing ambition of Maynard, for he spent many years as premier stunt rider with Barnum and Bailey, Ringling Brothers’ circuses, and ever since he made his entry into pictures he has wanted to make one dealing with the circus and its people. “The Wagon Show” is the result, and so far has it surpassed even Charles R. Rogers, the producer and First National expectations that it has been released as a Ken Maynard Special. The story has not been taken from any novel or published story, but was written expressly for Maynard and depicts a small one ring circus traveling through Montana and Wyoming during the settlers’ days. It deals not only with the romantic glamor that always accompanies a tent show, but with the struggles and trials these people of the sawdust ring endured. The entire plot has been packed with the daring and thrilling stunts for which Ken has become world-famous. The entire story has been built upon a solid foun dation of fact and carries a real surprise ending.

And one clear call for me And may there be no moaning at the bar. When I put out to sea. But such a tide as morning seems asleep , Too full for sound or foam. When that which seen from out the boundless deep, Turns again home. Twilight and Evening bell, And after that the dark! And may there be no sadness of Farewell. When I embark. For though from out our bourne of time and place The flood may bear me far, I hope to see my Pilot face to face When I have crossed the bar.
