bezzlement. Early yesterday morning
Bidleman was taken TO the Office Of Harry

to induce Bideman TO restore some of the

given out that Henarie would not COM
promise under any consideration.
About o'clock in the afternoon Bidle-
man was turned over to Detective Handley
and locked up in the City Prison on a
charge Of felony mbeZZlement. The COM
plant upon which the arrest was made was
sworn 10 by Henarie. 1t alleges that on
December 81, 1891, Bidleman embezzIed the
