Cabell for embezzling $8,210.63, belonging to the United States Government, is another Instance of a good man gone wrong. Cabell Is a lawyer, and practiced his profession in Salt Lake with considerable success for a number of years. He was quite popular and was a good fellow, and had the respect of a large section of the community. He received the appointment of Deputy Internal Revenue Collector in. this city some years ago and as such handled large sums of money and Government stamps. He began dabbling in mines, and thought he owend a bonanza, to develop which he took Government money, fully expecting to be able to make it good when the mine became a paying proposition. That day never came, but the time arrived when his defalcations could no longer be hidden, and the inevitable result followed. Cabell was arrested over a year ago. His trouble and disgrace brought on a severe illness, and for weeks he lingered on the verge of the dark river of death, but recovered. He was tried before Judge Marshall and on Wednesday the jury found him guilty of embezzlement and he will be sentenced today. His bondsmen have made good the amount of his defalcation to Chief Collector Lyman of the district of Montana, of which Utah forms a part. As usual in such cases his heartbroken wife stuck to him to the bitter end.

The remark, a good man gone wrong, applied with equal force to Frank M. McBride. He was assistant postmaster at Salt Lake, and about a year ago was arrested on the charge of embezzling funds of the office. He was a very competent official, and was well liked by all who were acquainted with him, but he fell into loose habits and spent a great deal of money in dissipation. He is now on trial before Judge Marshall, with United States Attorney Judd prosecuting and Judge Powers as leading counsel for the defense.
