Paige is sentenced to ten years for forged papers in bank failure
Cleveland May 7 Special Col R K Paige brother of David B Paige was sentenced to ten years in the penitentiary for uttering forged papers tied to the failure of the Painesville Savings and Loan Association. He pleaded guilty after attempting a defense, saying the forgeries were to save the bank not for personal gain. His wife and daughter attended. He expressed regret over the misfortune to depositors and hoped to restore their money. The bank’s troubles were noted by attorney Captain Burrows. The same report mentions a revival at Bethel Colored Baptist church with about forty converts to be baptized at The Dell and notes ongoing services with Rev Munson and visiting pastors. A help-wanted notice seeks a furnished room with bath care of Rupotru, Tiuns-Recospar.
