THE sTuRLY MURDER TRIAL.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-In the Theresa Sturla

robbed of some $4,000 to $4,000, and
possibly more by some of their travelling
statesmen in collision with others of their
most trusted employees. The plan pursued
was for salesman to send in from some
town in the West fictitious orders from
imaginary firms, or those which had dis
solved partnership. Double orders would
then be shipped, the duplicates being taken
returned to the Chicago firm. The greed
and boldness of the confederates excited
suspicion, and an investigation followed,
which it is said unearthed the fact that up-
wards of dozen men were in the conspir-
acy. One of them, G. U. Wells, is said to
have been arrested, and cannot be found
here. The whole affair has been very
quietly conducted, and the policy of silence
has been adopted by members of the firm.
