The gas was turned on and the police found a letter which they say was address named Gladys, at N Street, College Point withheld. West Park For Sweetheart Who Faced Jail Alter Conviction for Larceny Miss Esther Bloom Promises to Direct Future of Oscar Hirschman and Wins Court to Suspend Sentence. The implicit faith and loving de- yotion of twenty-year-old Esther Bloom to-day won for her fiance, Osear Hirschmainn, twenty-four, a suspended sentence after he had ap- bropriated’ $3,500 to his own use. Through her own efforts Miss Bloom had’ collected from friends an initial 35 in cash towards full restitution. She told Judge Crain in General Sessions to-day ‘I want to marry this man.” The case of the young defendant was s0 unusual that his employer, Charles H. Carruthers, of the broker- age firm of Carruthers, Pell & Co., No. 15 Broad Street, told Judge Crain he would not have prose- cuted his bookkeeper had tt not been for the force of circumstances. When payment of arraigned last July, Hirschmann, who lives at No. 64 East 119th Street, ad- mitted drawing a $500 check, pre- sumably for a customer, and then dl- verting it to his own use. Hirschmann’s father was critically it at the time and probation officers verified the prisoner's statements that he had used all the money td obtain medical attention for his parent. Sub- sequently the elder Hirschmann died and Oscar has been the sole support since of his widowed mother and sister. Although United States District Judge Mack and Mr. Carruthers sent letters to Judge Crain urging leniency, none had as great an effect upon the .] court as the comparatively short note of Miss Bloom. The flancee, who lives at No. 86 West 119th Street, wrote: know of one one, aside from my own immediate family, to whom I should want to be a power for good as I want to*be Oscar Hirschmann, The tragedy has occurred. As a result I have “appointed myself a silent sentinel to keep guard over him the rest of my life, He is thoroughly able to go out and meet conditions as they arise and he is sincere in his vow that he expects to cancel every penny of his debt by the sweat of his own brow. “We have merely given the ini- tial payment in cash to tide him over the most difficult crossing. The rest his friends have pledged He is turning in each week a stip- ulated amount. He has never fallen down on this since his re- lease from the Tombs. The Hirschmanns are now working on a family budget and it is inspected regularly each week by me, He is now beginning the task of the future, which I trust will more than compensate for the act which can only be associated in my mind with irresponsible youth. “T want to marry this man, and by so doing give’ society some- thing it shall be happy to have Only honesty, loyalty, trust- worthiness and ambition will flourish hereafter in his heart, for theso are the only attributes I shall encourage. All these traits have always existed in him. They were simply choked out by a big,.ugy weed, which I shall endeavor to pull up full force by the roots. So sure am I that he will measure up to the true stand- ard of a man that I do not hest- tate as early as now to say that I know that I shall never regret my untiring and devoted efforts in his behalf, “LT just plead for one more for my beloved."
