SINFUL ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Pious Pension Clerk Gay Proves a
Gay DeCeiVer.

Gay DcCeIVeF.
PITTsBURG, July 17.-Samuel K. Gay,
chief clerk in the Pittsburg Pension
Office, has probably gone to Canada to
join the great array of bank cashiers.
Yesterday afternoon PensionAgent Errett
discovered that Gay had forged the names
Of pensioners to three checks aggregating
$500. An Information for forgery was
made before United states Commissioner
McCandless and a warrant was issued for
his arrest, but before the officer could
serve it Gay got wind of the movement
and quickly left'the city. Rumor is busy
with the case and conjecture is rife that
the amount above stated may be only a
fraction of Gays stealings. Several
weeks ago an investigation OF the accounts
of the pension agent in Pittsburg was
made and it was then found that there
were several discrepancies, involving
considerable sums of money.
THE BOOKS gALsIFIED.
There was every evidence of embezzle-
ment, covered by falsifcatien Of the
books. Agent Errett was then notified
by the Treasury Department to look after
his clerks, as some one was doing wrong.
Nothing further was heard of the matter
until last evening, when Agent Errett
telegraphed to w WashingtOn that Gay had
absconded. Gay was the son OF wealthy
parents, and some years ago married a
relative of Mayor Fulton. He was an eX-
emplary young man-in fact strict at
tendant at church, quite active III the
Young Mems Christian Association and
a prominent leader in the Murphy tenn
perance movement. He took great In
terest in lectures by clergymen, and was
the head and front OF nearly all the move
ments to bring Rev. 1almage to Pitts
burg Even his most intimate friends
never saw anything in bis conduct that
would arouse suspicion. Gay had salary
Of S15 per month.

spracy to iniure Ide business of the Cou-
rier Publishing Company, occupied one
hour in its delivery. The charge was gen.
orally thought TO be rather favorable
tn the defendants than otherwise.

each Of the six counts In detail and
ciJed many authorities having bearing on

out one hour, and when they returned
