STATE TREASURY
SALEM, Ore., April 3. Clarence W
ThompHon, former cashier In the
slate treasury office who Monday
cvuninp pit-nil guilty to larceny of
$U3 1 of public funds and was sen
tenced to two years in the state peni
tentiary and then paroled by Judge
Percy It. Kelly at a special evening
Hossion of the court, Is under arrest
here again today charged with he
further larceny of 3000 from the
treasury upon n complaint sworn out
by John U. Carson, district attorney.
Carson this morning swore out the
'omplalnt and warrant, following the
refusal of the state treasury officers
to sign a criminal information mak
ing the charge.
Alexander Hamilton, bookkeeper In
the treasurer's office who has been
checking the records to determine the
liability of each of the bonding com
panies who stood on Thompson's
bond, yesterday discovered . that
Thompson on July l, 1924, wrote a
cheek for $8000 on the First National
bank of Portland and requested that
the money be delivered to the treas
wry office in currency. The stub for
the check was made out for only
$5000, mt when the cancelled chenk
was returned the stub was changed
to conform with the amount of the
ctiV'ck, Hamilton alleges, and to make
the books balance .Thompson on July
29 pudded his salary receipts by
$3ooo and drew a check in favor of
"J. A. Klllolt," state forester for
$3ooo. nccording to treasury officials.
Klltott denies he ever asked for or
received such n check.
Yesterday afternoon the district
attorney prepared and submitted to
4 he state treasury office for their
gjKiiuture un information charging
Thompson with embezzlement of
$3000 but the signature was refused.
Iast evening Thompson was taken
Into custody on an open charge and
was held under guard at a local hos
pital. Today ho was being examined
by a physician and if his condition
justifies it he will be removed to the
county jail. He is said to be suffer
ing from a nervous breakdown.
The district attorney - has filed a
request that Thompson's bond be set
at $0000.
T. II. Kay, state treasurer, this
morning justified his refusal to sign
the information against Thompson
on the ground that the defalcations
took place under previous adminis
trations and that he did not wish to
appear as prosecuting Thompson
whom he let out of employment when
he took office. He also said that he
did not have personal knowledge of
the alleged embezzlement, and that
any information to that effect would
have had to be sworn to by Mr. Ham
ilton, who discovered the shortage.
Mr. Carson this morning called the
grand jury to reconvene next Monday
morning to consider the case. f

GRKEX BAY, "Wis.. April 9. Kd-
ward J. Sailstad of Eau Claire, whj
with Dorothy Anderson was convicted
on a charge of arson on December
29, 1923 and sentenced to four years
at the Green Bay reformatory, was
granted a parole by the state board of
control, it was announced today by
Karl 11. Hcklund, superintendent.
Sailstad will be paroled as soon as
the authorities find a suitable posi
tion for him, in accordance with the
rules governing paroles. Decision to
release him was reached following "a
long session of the parole board.
Sailstad and Miss Anderson van
ished from Eau Claire August 21,
1920 and shortly thereafter the bones
of a human body were found in the
ashes of his cottage at Lake Xebaga-
mon. Identification of a ring, a tangle
of heat welded keys and teeth taken
from the skull seemed for a time to
establish definitely that Sailstad had
been burned to death. The disappear
ance of Miss Anderson, his stenog
rapher, puzzled authorities and life
Insurance companies in which he held
policies, drawn in favor of his wife,
declared the evidence was not suffi
cient to warrant paying the policy.
A nation wide search developed. On
September 29, 1922 Sallstad's wife
was awarded a court decision against
the New York Life Insurance .com
pany, entitling her to collect $10,000
insurance.
Meanwhile the Insurance companies
continued the search for the missing
man and his wife, believing him dead,
married Itoss T. Richardson of Eau
Claire. "
When' Sal 1st end was arrested nt
Napa, Cal., December 23.. 1923, he
said he was badly in debt and to save
what he could of the wreck he decided
to leave. AVlth Miss Anderson he vis
isted a graveyard where a man an
swering his description as to height
and weight had been buried. The
grave was robbed and the body taken
to the lake cottage which was set afire
and the pair began their travels.
After Sailstad was sentenced his
wife Was granted a divorce. Miss An
derson has not been paroled.
