CAPTAIN HENRY W. hOnuAAE,
late of the Signal Service, under both
General Meyer and General Hazen,
has been arrested on the charge of
embezzlement. If the probabilities in
his case we're written out after the
forms of the Weather Bureau, it
would read something like this Hint
ed that he took the money, or that 0
clerk did it, or that none is missing;
possibly needed the money, or had no
use for it and thought it would never
be missed; guilty or not guilty partly
suspicious, with chances that he will
b acquitted or convicted, probably
both, with strong probability that the
case will be compromised or continued.
Report of arrest may prove a hoax il
SO, clear up his character or leave it
blemished in spots. Public opinion
unanimous, divided. mixed and indif-
ferent; lawyers taking sides slowly,
reticent, dubious and confident of suc-
cess or failure; professional jurora
will take retainer fees or lunch
on either sides. Danger signals
all taken down, or still flying; prisoner
will reach Washington to-day in
charge of an officer, unless he fails to
arrive; public sentiment against bin.
but no opinion formed yet; if he is not
guilty he did not embezzle dollar Of
the money, buff he is the probabil
tiles are that he took scme of it, mOFe
or less, or permitted clerk to do SO
