Telephone Girl He Was

ing From Injuries in
N orwalk Hospital
Robert E. Worsley refused this
morning to accompany Deputy Chief
Frederick Patterson o! the East
Providence, R. 1.. police back to
that city to answer to the charge of
embezzlement of 31.800.
Worsley has placed his case in
the hands of Attorney A. D. Sla-
vatsky of this city and when the
East Providence oihcial arrived this
morning said that he would not go
back.
Attorney Siavatsky stated that his
client would furnish a bond for 850
for his release on the charge of
reckless driving and that he would
then be releasedSby the local po-
lice. This statement was verified by
Judge Nehemiah Candee.
The reckless driving ccscrpcnding‘
‘ in the local city court is the resume‘
of an accident betweenan unnum-
bile drlvcn by Worsiey and two oth-
er cars driven by Elliott Brown of
Port Chester and George Schrlber of
New‘Tork city. on the Boston Post
road near the Barton town line
early Monday morning.
The car being driven by Worsloy
was owned by his step-father and
as a resultxof taking this car the
embezzlement charge was preferred
against‘hlm. it was stated by At-
Worsley's step-father was at the
present time in a sanitarlum and
that his mother had been given the
power of attorney. She had tuflied
a sedan formerly owned by her hus-
band over to young Worsley. who in
turn had turned it in for a new car
which he purchased in his step-fa-
ther's name. paying part cash and
taking notes for the balance. It was
the new car that was wrecked in
Darlen.
Miss Margaret Chew of Washing-
ton. D. C.. who was in the car with
Worsley and whom he stated he was
going to marry. was injured and is
in the Norwnlk hospital.
lilies Chew was-u telephone oper-
ator in Washington and this couple
were on their way to Rhode Island
to be married. It was thought at
first that charges of violation of the
Mann White Slave act might be
brought against Worsley but this
matter was dropped when it was
made clear that the couple intend-
ed to get married.
