him $500 this afternoon if be would with
/ dr&w the charge 1t WAS said by one or
the Muehmores this afternoon thar the
firm was disposed 10 press The charge
| providing the money was paid over
HOW II WAS DISCOVERED
Levy's connection with the firm Of
| MuchmoTe & Son was serv6red year
| ago. AT the Time Of the change, however,
/ there was nothing known Of his alleged
| peculations. But on January IS the death
| of ]. a. Mnehmore, the senior member 81
/ the firm, took place. and witbia 9 short
time thereafter 1t was necessary 10 zx~-
anime all the accounts OF the frnl. in or
der to settle tbe estate. It was then that
the discovery WAS made.
1 TIE scheme by which Levy operated
was something ike this:A customer
would pay him bill OF, say, S47- On
/ the same day the credit given him on the
cash book world read So. the remaining
| $50 presumably going into THE books
| er's pocket. About weeK afterward he
would turn back to the entry and simply
make four of the first figure. There
was SO much OF this thing going On that
he finally got things nixed up enough 10
neglect giving customers lueir pr1per
| credits
1t is said that Levy spent most ct the
money SO obtained in betting on horse
races, and that be had met with heavy
losses He was also addicted 70 card
playing, it is said, and to buying lottery
/ tickets
