SoHwRIrzER's STEALINas.-For several
weeks past Mr.. John G. Schroll, Clerk Of
the Circuit Court, noticed falling off in
his collections. and notified his Deputy,
Julius Schweitzer, to that effect and urged
him to be more prompt in making his co.,
lections, not thinking for moment that
anything serious was going on, or that he
was crooked.
The matter, however leaked out last
Thursday that Julius had collected the fine
and costs in the case of the Commonwealth
vs. A. Diiling, amounting to ST.. MIR.
Schroll told Schweiizer several months ago
to collect it, and Julius. in his usual jovial
and sincere way, said: "Oh, that is all
right; I will attend to it," and he did at
tend to it by collecting the money and
failing to turn 1t over.
A few months after Mr.. Schroll asked
Julius about it, and julius says, II will just
issue an execution for the amountand give
1t to the Sheriff for collection" He did
issue the execution and give 1t to the
Sheriff, but quietly said to that officer:
."You need not push Mr.. Dilling for that
money, as he is 20 d and will pay it" At
that very time he had the money.
The Sheriff let the execution run on for
several weeks, and one day he went to Mr..
Nlling and presented the claim. Imagine
his CONSERVATION when Mr.. Dilling pro-
duced receipt for the money signed by
Schweitzer. The Sheriff did not pay any
attention to 1t for few days, when he told
Mr.. Schroll. Mr.. Schroll tried to be un-
concerned, but the Sheriff again shook him
up by informing him that Schweitzer had
collected judgment OF SOL so in the case
of Cohn vs.. Grome, Of Dayton.
This opened the eyes OF Mr.. Schroll and,
while he was talking to the Sheriff, who
should come in but Schweitzer. Mr..
Schroll Immediately confronted him with
the facts in his possession, and the i'm
ported clerk seemed spel-bound and could
not utter word. Mr.. Schroll then asked
him how many more instances there were
of this kind. and Schweitzer informed him
that he would give him detailed state
ment on the following day. ~
The day came, but no statement, and Mr..
Schroll demanded it again, and Schwetzer
then prepared the following. showing Of
the amount of his deficiency: Common
wealth VS.. A. Dilling, $40; same VS.. Han
selman, $22 so; Cohn vs. Grome, $101 90;
Hof case. $27 40; Bryan, s.; City OF Day.
ton vs.. HERMAN, COSTS IS 85; Turner,
Sc 40; Remme vs. Tibbatts, $40; Gideon vs..
Corbett, $47 65. Total. 1927 rs, out OF
which he claims he paid $22 40. When
Schweitzer handed this statement to Mr..
Schroll he was asked by that gentleman If
that was all. "Yes," replied Schweitzer,
that is all can think Of"
Mr.. Schroll then asked him what he had
done with the money. Then Schweitzer
did his little dramatic act, and, with tears
rolling down his cheeks, replied that he
had sent the money to his POOR sister in
Germany. Mr.. Schroll told him that he
lied, and he did not believe he ever sent
over $50 of it to his sister. Schweitzer, al
ter short deliberarion, confessed that he
had sent but $50 of the money to Ger
many. Then Mr.. Schroll told him that he
did rot believe that he had sent one cent
of the money.
Mr.. Schweitzer acknowledged this morn
ing thai he was $500 behind in his accounts,
but Mr.. Schroll thinks the amount may
reach 81, 900, and perhaps more. Schweitzer
visited his wife's friends in Cincinnati this
morning, and hopes TO be able to raise sufii.
cient to settle up in full.
