In the municipal court yesterday A. L. Sid
moor, who was arrested on Thursday night at
the instigation of Mrs, Margaret Alden, for
embezzlement, waived examina ton and gave
$3.50 bail for his appearance before the grand
Jury. Mrs. Alden has recently been IN the
restaurant business and Sidmoor was one
of her "agents." He enjoyed not only the
confidence, but also the undoubted affection
of his employer. He, it is alleged, collected,
or got into his possession, $40 of the COM

ated to his private and personal use. 1t is
thought that Mrs. Alden's heart will soften,
and the matter be "doctored'' before the
trial.
