ROBBERY AT Sr. ALBANs.-Edward
A. Pierce, a single man about thirty
years old, for three years clerk for B.
Frank Robinson, dry goods dealer, has
robbed his employer of about $4,000 and
run away. The stealing has been going
on for some time, covering nearly the
entire term of his employment, but it
was so well covered that Mr.. Robinson
suspected nothing until he discovered a
deficiency in his business. AS he con-
ducts his business Systematically he was
able to trace many things to Pierce.
To make the case sure he employed a
detective from Boston, who soon caught
Pierce in several thefts. All the other
clerks stood repeated tests. Robinson
then took Pierce in hand and endeavor-
ed to secure restitution. Seeing that he
was caught, Pierce restored about $4,000
in money and jewelry. He agreed to
raise $1,000 more among his friends and
work out the rest of it if Robinson
would show him mercy, not expose him
and give him chance. This was agreed
to, but when Pierce made the effort
among his friends, they attached some
of his property, thus exposing the mat
ter, and on Saturday he fed to Canada.
