WHAT case heads to court

WELLFLEET — A former box office employee of the Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater will be arraigned Oct. 26 in Orleans District Court on criminal charges in an alleged theft of $15,062 from the theater's Rockland Trust bank account, according to a court clerk and the police.

Mitchell J. Eskie will be charged with credit card fraud and other criminal charges, and his wife, Brenda Eskie, will be charged with receiving stolen property, a court clerk said.

The Eskies have not returned phone call requests for comment.

Mitchell Eskie allegedly used the theater's debit card to make cash withdrawals between January and June from the Orleans branch of Rockland Trust bank, according to Wellfleet police Detective Jonathan Taylor. The money allegedly was deposited into a bank checking account the couple opened in their daughter's name, and then the couple allegedly wrote checks from that account.

The deposits were usually made the same day as the withdrawals, and no receipts have been produced to show that the money was used for the theater's benefit, Taylor said.

Mitchell Eskie began working for the theater in May 2001, according to theater managing director Jeffrey George.

A bank security officer at Rockland Trust noticed the pattern of withdrawals and deposits, and brought it to the attention of theater officials and the police, according to Taylor and theater board president Carol Green.

The nonprofit theater, long housed in a building on Wellfleet Harbor, opened a 213-seat, year-round theater on Route 6 this summer. The theater's revenues in 2006 amounted to around $2.5 million, according to public records.

WELLFLEET — A former box office employee of Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater will be on probation for three years after pleading guilty Friday to unauthorized withdrawals on the theater's bank debit card.

Mitchell Eskie, 58, of Orleans, who began working for the theater in 2001, will also pay $15,062 in restitution and $90 in court fees, and perform 100 hours of community service, according to Cape and Islands First Assistant District Attorney Michael Trudeau.

Eskie pleaded guilty to larceny of a value more than $250 by a single scheme, larceny of a value more than $250, and improperly using a credit card of a value more than $250, according to court records. A charge of falsifying an entry in an account book was dismissed.

Eskie did not return phone calls seeking comment.

Between January and June 2007, Eskie used the theater's debit card to make cash withdrawals from the Orleans branch of Rockland Trust bank, police said. The money was deposited into a bank checking account Eskie opened in his daughter's name, then he and his wife withdrew money from the account.

As part of the resolution of the case, prosecutors requested that a charge of receiving stolen property of a value less than $250 against Eskie's wife, Brenda, 59, be dismissed, Trudeau said.

Charges were filed against Mitchell and Brenda Eskie on Sept. 21 after a bank officer alerted theater authorities to suspicious activity, Taylor said.

Alexander Hill Everett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alexander Hill Everett (March 19, 1792–June 28, 1847) was a noted America diplomatist, politician, and Boston man of letters. His brother was Edward Everett.

Everett was born in Boston, Massachusetts to the Rev. Oliver Everett and Lucy (Hill) Everett, and graduated at age 14 from Harvard College in 1806 with the highest honors of his class. After leaving College he was an assistant teacher in Phillips Exeter Academy for one year, then studied law in the office of John Quincy Adams. In 1809 he Adams accompanied to Russia, where he lived for two years as Adam's personal secretary in the legation.

At the close of the War of 1812, Governor of Massachusetts William Eustis was appointed minister to the Netherlands, and Everett accompanied him as secretary of legation, but after a year of service returned home. On the retirement of Governor Eustis from the legation, however, Everett was appointed his successor, with the rank of chargé d'affaires to The Hague, which post he held from 1818 till 1824. After Adams became president in 1825, he appointed Everett ambassador to Spain from 1825–1829.

After his service in Spain, he returned to Boston to obtained a controlling interest in North American Review (to which he had been an active contributor while his brother was editor) and shortly after to succeed Jared Sparks as principal editor. The venture was not financial rewarding. Everett's government service was not yet over, though, and he sat in the legislature of Massachusetts from 1830 till 1835. His political fortunes in Massachusetts plummeted when, after serving in the state legislature, Everett switched parties from Whig to Democrat and was blamed for his brother Edward's loss in his bid for reelection as governor in 1839. In 1840 Everett resided in Cuba as a Special Diplomatic Agent of the United States. While in Cuba he was appointed president of Jefferson College, Louisiana, but was soon obliged by failing health to return to New England.

On the return of Caleb Cushing from his mission to China, Everett was appointed the next commissioner and sailed for Canton on July 4, 1845. He was detained by illness at Rio de Janeiro, and returned home. In the summer of 1846 he made a second and more successful attempt to reach his destination, and but died in Canton on June 28, 1847, shortly after his arrival. He is buried at the Foreigners' Cemetery, Changzhou Island, Guangzhou, China.

From Wikipedia

Edward Everett (April 11, 1794 – January 15, 1865) was a Whig Party politician from Massachusetts. Everett was elected to the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate, and also served as President of Harvard University, United States Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Britain, and Governor of Massachusetts before being appointed United States Secretary of State by President Millard Fillmore to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Daniel Webster.

Everett was an unsuccessful candidate for Vice President of the United States in the 1860 election on the Constitutional Union ticket. In 1863 he delivered a two-hour Gettysburg Oration that has been eclipsed in history by President Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. He is the father of congressman William Everett.
Early life and education

Born in Boston, Massachusetts to the Rev. Oliver Everett and Lucy (Hill) Everett, he attended Boston Latin School and graduated as the valedictorian from Harvard University in 1811, studied theology under the urging of the Rev. Joseph Stevens Buckminster, and was ordained pastor of the Brattle Street Unitarian Church, Boston, in 1814. His brother Alexander Hill Everett was a noted diplomatist and man of letters. He was the first American to receive a Ph.D. degree

Harvard University service and early political career

Everett was a professor of Greek literature at Harvard University, an overseer of the University, and its president from 1846 to 1849. He was elected to the United States House of Representatives and served from March 4, 1825-March 3, 1835. He declined to be a candidate for renomination in 1834.

High political ranks

He then served as Governor of Massachusetts (1836-1840).

Everett was appointed United States Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to Britain 1841-1845, declining a commission to China in 1843. He served as president of Harvard University from 1846-1849.

In 1852 he was appointed United States Secretary of State by President Millard Fillmore to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Daniel Webster, and served to March 3, 1853. He was elected to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1853, until his resignation, effective June 1, 1854.

Everett was an unsuccessful candidate for Vice President of the United States in the 1860 election on the Constitutional Union ticket.

Educationist work

He went to Germany to take courses and returned to this country as the first American to receive a Ph.D. degree. Eventually, 10,000 of America’s wealthiest families would send their sons to obtain the Ph.D. in Prussian universities.

Implementation of the Prussian education system was to become the goal of Edward Everett, America’s first Ph.D. As Governor of Massachusetts, Everett had to deal with the problem of the influx of poor Irish Catholics into his state. In 1852, with the support of Horace Mann, another strong advocate of the Prussian model, Everett made the decision to adopt the Prussian system of education in Massachusetts. Unfortunately for the children and poor Irish Catholics of Massachusetts and elsewhere, the system produced a willing, cheap labor force with minimal reading and numbers skills. The Everetts of the world understood that people who could read and understand are dangerous because they are intellectually equipped to find out things for themselves, thus becoming a threat to already established power elites.

Shortly after Everett and Mann collaborated to adopt the Prussian system, the Governor of New York set up the same method in 12 different New York schools on a trial basis. Incredibly, within two weeks he declared the system a total success and took control of the entire education system in the State of New York. In a "blitzkreig" action with no debate, public hearing, or citizen involvement, government forced schooling was on its way in America.

Gettysburg Oration

Everett was considered the nation's greatest orator of his time. He was invited to give the main speech at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on September 23, 1863, following the Battle of Gettysburg. He told the organizing committee that he would be unable to prepare an appropriate speech in such a short period of time, and requested that the date be postponed. The committee agreed, and the dedication was postponed until November 19. Almost as an afterthought, David Wills, the president of the committee, asked President Abraham Lincoln to make a "few appropriate remarks."

Everett spoke for two hours, but Lincoln's two-minute follow-up speech, known as the Gettysburg Address, is one of the most famous speeches in the History of the United States. Everett wrote a note to Lincoln the next day, telling him of his appreciation for the President's brief, but moving, speech: "I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near the central idea of the occasion in two hours, as you did in two minutes."

Death and legacy

He died in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1865, and was interred in Mount Auburn Cemetery, Cambridge, Massachusetts.

The city of Everett, Massachusetts, is named for him, as is Edward Everett Square, the southern end of Massachusetts Avenue at Columbia Road in Boston's Dorchester section. An elementary school bearing his name is located just down the street from the square.

An engraved portrait of Everett appears on U.S. currency on fifty dollar denomination silver certificates issued in 1890 and 1891.
