Green and Gaynqg
Must Pay All or II
None.
Washington, Feb. 7. —If the gov
ernment has evidence that any part
of the money embezzled by John F.
Gaynor and Benjamin D. Greene!,
in complicity with Captain Oberlin
M. Carter, in the Savannah harbor
frauds, is secreted, there is no indi
cation that the department of justice
will show its hand to the prisoners
applying for release from the Atlan
ta penitentiary.
Gaynor and Greene have served
their four-year sentence, but are be
ing held for a §575,000 fine. Un
der the law they must remain in
jail until the fine is paid, or take
the pauper’s oath and swear that
neither has more than §2O above
the exemptions allowed by statute.
A confinement of thirty days after
the expiration of the sentence, how
ever, must precede such a move.
Both Gaynor and Greene today
began serving the thirty-day period.
If thereafter they wish to take the
pauper’s oath a hearing will be set
before a Uuited States commissioner,
at which the government will bo
represented. If the attorney gen
eral has any trace of the money
which disappeared after the embez
zlement, it will be shown then.
A compromise on the amount of
the fine, it was said at the depart
ment today, would be authorized
by law and without precedent.
