Show DISCREDIT STORY k OF EDH0EVEH Tt seems likely that Georges B. Smith, of Ogden, will servo out his eight-year sentence in tho Utah penitentiary pen-itentiary for embezzlement, notwlth-. standing the confession of Edward Hoeven, in Chicago, Thursday, that he committed the crime of which Smith was convicted. ! Hoevan was released from tho Utah penitentiary last May. He had served serv-ed a term for stealing1 a horo from F. J. Hendorshot, of Ogden. A part of the time ho was In the hospital receiving re-ceiving treatment for his eyes, and Smith was one ef tho nurses attending attend-ing him. When he was paroled Smith loaned him $53 to return to Chicago. Although he insists that he was held up and rebbed of the $90 he was accused ac-cused of embezzling while clerk of a hotel. Smith says that he does not think ho ever saw Hoeven until he attended him In the prison hospital. Hoeven was known to tho prison officers of-ficers ns a user of drugs. Smith's record in the penitentiary is not praiseworthy. He has been in special confinement at least ten times for violation of prison rules |
