BosroN, May l2 In the superior court
today Charles 2. Fessenden pleaded guilty
TO two counts of Indictment charging en-
bszzlement Of about S. 400 from o. H.
& W. A. Buckley, insurance agents, for
whom he WAS clerk. He will be sentenced
later. Fessenden 10 q son Of Daniel Fes
senden, for fifteen years clerk Of Cumber-
land Maine county courts.
About . year ago Fessendeu was hired
as an In, urance agent by Buckley, repre-
senting the Provident Life Assurance So
ciets Of New York. In September last
Fessenden wA- given full charge of the
books and it was not until after the new
wear that emb. zzle ment was suspected.
Proof that it had been carried on from al
most the first of his employne ent were soon
forthcoming. Efforts were made by Buck
ley to have some of Fessenden's relatives
make the loss good
These efforts failed and the result was an
Indictment. District Attorney Stevens said
Fessenden was guilty both of forgery and
embezzlement in Portland, but no convic-
ton had been made because of the settle
ment of the l)ss by relatives. Mrs. Fes-
sender testified she thought the reports OF
her sons fast life were exaggerated, she
knowing only Of his fouduess for fast
repeniant. Miss Fessenden said Captain
Nichols would have helped her brother At
first but would not now owing to the clan
destine marriage of Fessenden and his
daughter.
