The transactions that have in volved young lletrick in serious trou ble ar?> extensivo, involving three manufacturing plants in as many towns l?ninosvllle, Acworth and Marietta; and the amounis involved, according to tho Atlanta newspaper accounts, will reach certainly to $70. 000, probably $ 100.000, and possibly considerably in excess of the latter amount when all of the details of the yoniiK man's operations are thor oughly gono into and investigated. lletrick bas been missing since Sunday night.

He failed to appear, his bond was for feited, and it wa.s then that closer inspection of affairs revealed the extent, in part at least, to which he was involved. The Vtlanta papers RIVO young lletrick s ago at "about 40 years." As a matter of fact, ho ls only 28 years of age. Ho has many friends hore who hope that tho situation can bo cleared up. and the young man be placed on his feet again. From tho accounts published, however, lt would seem that young Hotrick has been traveling at a paco so reckless and extravagant ns to preclude the pos eibility of his being able to "make good" on his many financial transac tions. Seen yesterday. Wm. A.. lletrick, father of tho young man, said that ho feared, from what he was ablo to learn on a hurried trip to Atlanta after having notice of hi? son's trou ble, that tho situation was very bad indeed. Ho did not doubt for an In fitant that his .son had hoped to turn a bad situation' to tho advantage ul timately of those associated with him ns well as to himself, bul it looked as though, tn lils last frantic efforts to save a wreck, ho had gone too far, involving himself criminally with tho funds at his command. "I want him to face the music." he said. If I can And him he will come back or bo brought hack-that much is certain. The thing that wor rie? me most now is his whereabouts. The situation Itself ls bad. but his absence only makes it worse. To whatever extent he ls involved I wnnl him to be on the ground - to suffer the consequences or square himself as best he can." .J. ?j. ?j? ?j. ?j. ?j. ?j. ?fr ?|? ?j.
