less. 1t. does not fully know how his
fraud was accomplished and concealed,
butit is probable that johnson made
false reports Of stamps, which were not

fraud became extensive before any suspi-
cton was awakened. johnson was some
years ago connected with the Argus news.

He was reported on Tuesday to have left

in crime have not been ascertained.
Assistant Treasurer Hlllhouse states
that the amount ol the defalcatlon Of
