"Was he telliue the truth or
was the self-appointed and vol
u utary confession a fabrication
pure and simple" were the qnes
tions most freauentlv asked. '
The vast majority of those who
were heard to express themselves
declared that the story was
conglomeration of plausible false
hoods designed to r. do nothing
else than secure a light sentence
by turning State's evidence.
That be implicated others is ev
idenced by the arrest of Boyce
Bell Monday night and : that he
secured what besought, a light
sentence, is evidenced by the six
year term imposed by Judge
Boyd. ;
Few believed the harrowing
"invalid and demented father
life and death' f story and hold
rather that it was the instrumen
tality of an able-and astute law
yer who -fully appreciated its
worth and utilized it to the limit.
As to the amount of the losses
detailed by the' self-confessed
thief, few of those in a position
to hazard a guess, believe that it
could not have been near so
great." "He might have lost as
much as $40,000 but hardly
