Byron Chadderon
Byron B. Chadderon, 85, of Ross leaves Magisterial District Judge Richard Opiela's office in West View after his arraignment on Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 3, 2012. Chadderon is accused of stealing $670,000 from his late sister’s trust between 2005 and 2012, according to an affidavit filed Wednesday by Allegheny County District Attorney’s Det. Kevin Flanigan. Chadderon was the executor of a trust set up by his sister, Ora Jean C. Davis, the affidavit says. He and two other relatives were supposed to receive the interest from the account while Chadderon was alive, and the other two beneficiaries, a nephew and grand nephew, were supposed to divide up the trust after Chadderon’s death, the affidavit says. Instead, Chadderon withdrew money from the principal over the years and, when interviewed by Flanigan, said the trust agreement allowed him to do so, the affidavit says. Prosecutors have charged Chadderon with seven counts of theft, misapplication of the trust and receiving stolen property.

"The Baron"
Former Pittsburgh Pirate Elroy Face had a 17-year baseball career, he pitched from 1953–1969, primarily for the Pirates. A pioneer of modern relief pitching, he was the archetype of what came to be known as the closer, and the National League's greatest reliever until the late 1960s, setting numerous league records during his career. Face was the first major leaguer to save 20 games more than once, leading the league three times and finishing second three times; in 1959 he set the still-standing major league record for winning percentage (.947) with 18 wins against only one loss. He held the NL record for career games pitched (846) from 1967 until 1986, and the league record for career saves
(193) from 1962 until 1982; he still holds the NL record for career wins
in relief (96), and he held the league mark for career innings pitched in relief (1,211⅓) until 1983. On his retirement, he ranked third in major league history in pitching appearances, behind only Hoyt Wilhelm and Cy Young,
and second in saves behind Wilhelm. Nicknamed "The Baron," he holds the
Pirates franchise records for career games (802) and saves (188).
