BOSTON, JAN II.
Moot, the Jew who secured confidence and
money of Faxon by the loan dodge, is suppos-
ed to be secreted in this country somewhere
instead of having gone to Europe with his
stealings as reported, 1t has transpired that
he SUCCEEDED in getting loans from Mr.. Faxon
to the amount of over 100000, instead of 81 30
600 as previously reported. Moot not only
managed to fleece Faxon with his diamond
trick collateral, but Indirectly obtained money
from. other parties with paper which Faxon
had endorsed. One party has $6OOOO and an
other has 100000 of it. A peculiar feature of
the case is that the vault of the Safety Deposit
Bank in New York, where Moot deposited his
valuables, is still locked and the key is missing
instead of being in possession of Mr.. Faxon-
II is thought that Moot has got the key, and
that he will turn up when least expected 1t
