construes Section 1852 as the defense in
this case did. and as Judge White was
inclined to do, il will leave the Indiana law
without a statute under which a person
acting a trustee in a private capacity
can be convicted of embezzlement. There
are yet five indictments against Beach. The
defense has moved to quash the others, on
the ground that the title of the act is
faulty in the respect that IL does not plainly
state the object of the law. Judge White
has fixed upon Aug. q for the considera-

suit was brought in the Superior Court by

money. if possible.

Present indications are that the Pullman

official said last evening: There has been
a thorough investigation of the question of
the hold that the American Railway Union

are two local lodges: one has over $50

the membership of each is employees on the
