II YOUNG MAN,S FALL.
A Shipping Clerk In Auerbach, Finch 6
Van Slyck's Wholesale House Arrested
for

A Shipping Clerk In Auerbach, Finch 6
Van Slyck's Wholesale House Arrested
for Embe element.
IT'S the same old story. He tried on a
small salary to keep up his end with the
''boys," and he is now in the Jail, awaiting
the action of the grand jury upon the
charge of embezzlement. His name is
Horace Goettel, and he was freight receiv-
ing clerk for the Wholesale dry goods house
of Auerbach, Finch & Van Slyck, at a
salary of $55 per month.
Thursday last the firm discovered that
they had been paying certain freight bills
twice, and an investigation was commenced
which soon established the fact that
Goettel was defaulter, aud he was imme-
diately put under detective surveillance,
though not arrested, while the investiga-
ton was continued. By Saturday evening
Goettel's defalcation, as shown by
the investigation, had reached such
proportions that his arrest
was ordered, which was done, the
prisoner being confined in the county Jail.
Yesterday morning he was arraigned be-
fore Judge Burr, of the municipal court,
and waving examination was held to the
grand jury, and in default of $4,000 bail
committed to the county Jail.
Goettel is an unmarried man, thirty-six
years of age, but is the main support of
a mother and two sisters. He has been in
the employ of Auerbach, Finch & Van
Slyck for year and one month,
as freight receiving agent. His en-
bezzlements since Jan. l last
amount to something over $4,000. As the
investigation is not yet completed, and all
the railroads have mot been heard from,it is
by no means certain that the above figures
represent the full amount of GoettePs en-
bez- cement.
Goettel's plan of operations was upon
the receipt of bills for freight to figure
and draw upon the cashier of the firm for
the full amount. He would then take one
of the bills from the package, and watch
ing when Mr.. A. n. Winslow, through
whom he drew his checks, was absent,
would go to the cashier with the bill he
had distracted, and draw the
amount necessary to pay it, in
currency, which he would pocket.
Mr.. Goettel, when confronted with the
charge of embezzlement, confessed he had
taken some small amounts, but seemed to
be greatly astonished at the amount found
against him. His downfall has come
through living beyond his means. He did
not gamble as far as could be learned.
Neither did he keep a mistress, but he at
times accompanied the boys to such places,
spending as he confessed, at times $12 and
perhaps SIS a night. Then he played
pool, smoked fine cigars and patronized
bars occasionally, all expensive luxuries,
too expensive for salary of $50 a month
and the principal support of four persons.

Mr.. Fish remains here permanently and

CHICAGO, April 16.-Judge Prendergast,
of the county court, this morning gave a
decision in the suit brought to enjoin the
Western Indiana Railway company from
condemning land north of Twelfth
street in this city and by this process pre-
vent the railway from extending its lines
into the heart of the city. The bill urged
that the company did not contemplate
using the land it was seeking to condemn,
but the court ruled that the right of
eminent domain could be restricted by the
legislature and not by judicial action.
Under the ordinance the railway had the
right to extend its line north to Van Buren,
street, and it was not the business of the
court to inquire to what purpose it con-
templated using the land the railway was
seeking to condemn.
