The Chicago Times gives the par
ticulars of the most remarkable
case which has come before the
courts of that city for years. It
was that of man who had been
for several years employed as book
keeper for a firm in the city. and
who plundered his employers SO
ingeniously and persistently that
they were compelled to retire from
business, without suspicion of the
nature OF their losses, the thieving
clerk buying from them, with their
own money, what he had not al
ready stolen. The chance discoy-
cry OF an error in the books COM
pletely broke the courage of the
culprit, and he voluntarily confess
ed, was Immediately indicted, ar
rested, and, on arrangement, en-
tered plea of guilty, and was sen.
fenced last Saturday to seven years
imprisonment There We're none of
the customary incidents of riotous
living in the case. The stolen
money was Systematically invest
ed, and portion of it nsed in buy
ing out the thiets plundered en-
ployers.
