1t was in this capacity that Boynton's OPP
portunities for dishonesty became so
ample that the extent of his stsalings
finally betrayed him. The first knowl-
edge of any shortage in the department
came with the "taking stock" on the first
OF last January. Mr.. Shepard had
adopted a new system which was then
put in operation for the first time.
In its results it showed that
$4,000 worth of goods In Boynton's Sec
tion OF the store were unaccounted for.
This sum included what is generally SET
down as the result OF shoplitting and
breakage, and then there was wide mar
gin left which could only be accounted
for by the theory that some employees
was stealing. Breakage, which II not i'm
mediately reported to the head Of the de-
partment, is considered as stealing on the
part OF the clerk failing to make such re-
report, and that was also taken into ac-
count and charged against the then un-
known thief.
The state OF affairs was immedia lately re-
ported to the police and since the first OF
January the clerks in the crockery de-
partmont OF Shepard d. Company's
establishment have been closely
watched by tho detectives. 1t
was not until ten days ago that suspicion
rested on floor walker Boynton and then
he received the principal share OF the
police surveillance until facts proved that
the suspicion was we'll founded, and last
night Detective Reardon made the arrest.
Boynton's methods were numerous and
he worked them all whenever there was
the slightest chance OF adding to his le-
gitimate remuneration, which was $1,000
per year. His favorite scheme, however,
was to take advantage of the
"refund system" by which patrons are
allowed to have their money back for
goods returned. The thief would take an
article out of stock and then go
with it to one OF the sales girls
and ask for a refund check saying that
the goods had been sent back. The girl
would sign the check as a matter OF
course, when ordered to do SO by the head

The Police Caught Cat Thief at the
North End.

few months ago Captain Baker of the
Second Police Station was notified that
some one was stealing cats and he was re-
quested by number OF cat owners to see
IL it could not be stopped.
II ia a well known fact that there is a
man at the North End who makes mats
out of cat skins. but just where he is
located is mystery and every effort has
bSen made by the captain and his men to
find him, ana also the person or persons
who furnish the old gentleman with the
cats.
One OF the captains men was made
happy day or two ago, for he found a
well dressed young man coming out OF
the cellar Oft house on Constitution Hill
and he had bundle under his arm. At
first he thought that the man was a regu
lar house robber, but upon investigation
he found that the man had two
officer happy? That would hardly express
his feelings. The young man was marched
to the station, cats and all, and there told
his story.
"weli, captain, we get % cents for all
the cats we can capture"
When asked what he did with them
to well known educational
institution on the East Side and wero
there used for dissecting purposes. The
young man was ordered to return to the
house and lehve the tabbies and was
warned IL caught in such q fix again it
would go hard with him.
The young man claimed that be was a
scholar at the institution for which he
was acting as "cat agent"
