Cardenio F. King

Ill In Hospital

Cardenio F. King, who was sentenced

to serve from 10 to 1 4years in the

penitentiary, is ill in the hospital ward

of the Massachusetts state prison in

Charlestown, says a Boston dispatch

to the New York Press. His friends

say his condition is serious, and that

he never will leave the ward alive.

Theprison authorities say, however,

that, although he is ill, there is no

immediate danger.

King was a resident in Charlotte in

the early 80's. He was correspondent

for the Atlanta Journal. He had the

nose for news and was a hustling correspondent.

Later he went to Boston

and became a banker, broker and general

promoter of scheme. For awhile

he sailed the high seas of financial

success, making money and spending

it with reckless prodigality. His downfall

was not a surprise. He was tried

on 27 counts and sentenced January

13. 1909, to serve from 10 to 14 years,

the trial being one of the most spectaucular


in the history of the state.
