Judge Moore then issued a bench warrant for Mr..
Badeau's arrest, which was paced in the hands of

arrested while leaving hls house in Sands-st in the
morning. Mr.. Badeau manifested no surprise, but i'm
mediately accompanied the officer 10 the Court OF

John Bergcn his counsel and they proceeded to the
County courtroom. Information sent 10 Abe

WASH years OLD was born IL New-YOrk City, and had
occupation. The District Attorney then argued the
question OF bail cCntendng that allegation made by
the Controller that Mr.. Badeau had appropriated
$1,000 was sufficient 10 require ample security for his
appearance Mr.. Bergen replied that the Controllers
affidavit was not specific enough and ADDED: Your

in which states the oense of embezzng the $780, ht
specifies the aud gives when. where, and how and
what moneys appropriated in positive and spe
