 Fl John Quimby Released. } The case of John Quimby, cashier ot New Haven Steamboat company, who wal , | lHolcteo lRst mOnGn, cnRrge0 Wltn naVlni failed to turn ovsr to the company $225 80 which he had collected for freight, val dismissed in the New York court on tht [ recommendation of District Attorney Nieholl because of previous good character } and on the petition of the complainant and
 others. It appears that Quimby's accounts should have been audited every month but as he was implicitly trusted they had not been examined for three months. April he was notified they would be audited Quimby had appropriated the sum named.
 and being fearful of exposure, induced
 Richard P. Rowe, who has been clerk of
 the company for twenty years, to shield him by making out falss bills for freight, which he could put into the paid pigeon holes to make up the missing balance.
 Rowe, it is claimed, was led to do 80 out of friendship, and on promise from Quimby that he would make the amount
 good in two days Failing to do this, the ! deficiency was discovered and he was ar
 rested, while Rowe was detained when hs
 won't to court as 6 witness, but was re-
 leased subsequently, on parole.
