M'MASTER REPENTANT.
FORMER BANK CASHIER KE-
Fl SES ASSISTANCE.
Green is Doing What He Can to
Avoid Being Sent to
Waupun.
Eau Claire, Wis., May s.—Harry B.
Mc.Master. fully repentant for Ids be
trayal of trust to the First National
bank, is determined to go to prison,
while Charles 11. Greene, ex-city
treasurer, who was McMaster's part
tier in the speculation that ruined
both, is equally determined to raise
money to wipe out ids shortage and
Unis escape prosecution.
It is safe to say that nobody tn Eau
Claire wants to see Harry Mc.Master
go to Waupun and his friends have
pleaded with his relatives in an en
deavor to get him to reconsider his
expressed intention of pleading guilty
and throwing himself on the mercy
of the court. The friends think the
matter could lie squared tip in some
way and that Mi Master could avoid
prison. But though utterly broken in
spirit, the young man is resolute in
what lie considers to be his duty.
He feels deeply for his wife and child,
for lus invalid mother and for ids
father, but tins idea seems (irmly tixeu
on Ids mind that It is his duty to pub
licly acknowledge ids guilt and suffer
the penalty of the law.
