Reeds Robbery Fools Up s3OO.OOO.
HE Is SUPPOSED To BE AT THE POINT on

Examinations Of the accounts Of Reed, the
embezzing treasurer OF the South Boston Rail-
road company, have brought 10 light proof OF
more extensive crookedness than was at first
believed. The TACT that he has been using the
surplus OF the road for private speculation
seems to have been established, and IL has been
discovered that he had given notes upon the
company for considerable sum. One for
s., 800 mas turned up, and the company has
advertised for all notes against them. AT the
present time the officers ol the road are all a.
sea as regards the full extent OF Reeds deialca-
tion, the amount now being placed at froln
$25O.OO to S3O0,OOO.
Ii is not at all unlikely that Reed will pay tine
penalty OF his misdeeds with his life. Mednes-
day night he lay in a critical condition, and his
death would not have been a matter OF surprise.
