stances: ]. V. Dickey, OF the firm of
Moifatt * DickeY, employed Kin to carry
out ashes, and being engaged around the
store he (Mr. Dickey) hung his coat up,
in which was a pocket book containing
S25 in money. Kin soon discovered the
coat, and when Mr.. DiCkey was called out,
took the poCket-bOok from the coat, stole
SIS of the S25, and returned the book to
the pocket before the owners return.
The loes was soon discovered, and war
rant issued for Kin by Squire Philips.

purchased on that sape afternoon for thir-
teen dollars, and Kin had one dollar and
some small change about him, which cor
responded with the amount taken from

money could be recovered Ten dollars
were given him by Kin's mother and four
dollars were obtained from another source,
