SLIPPED Off WITH THE COIN.
ROBERT RUTLEDGE, ARRESTED FOR
FELONY EMBEZZLEMENT,
ABSCONDS.
IHE FORFEITURE OF HIS BONDS
HAS RAISED A SERIOUS
QUESTION.

Robert Rutledge, formerly a grocer at
2oo Sixth street, has left the city under a
cloud, and his bond of $4,000 was declared
forfeited on Saturday by Judge Low.
Rutledge was arrested on September on
the charge of felony embezzlement, the
complaining witness being William Nixon.
brother of his deceased partner. The
case was continued from month to month
on representations made by Attorney T.
Graham, special prosecutor and Rutledge's
attorney that it was a partnership dispute
and would be amicablv settled The Judge
on Saturday learned for fact, which had
been known to other people for months,
that Rutledge had absconded.
Rutledge and Nixon were clerks with
Cluit Bros, when they agreed to start
business at FOG Sixth street. They came
from the same place in Ireland and were
smart, active business men. After time
disputes arose and they agreed to dissolve
partnership. Rutledge remained in the
SlXth-street store and Nixon opened a
store on Sixteenth street, near Howard.
He prospered, but two years later he died.
Rutledge, with the consent of William
Nixon, who was a stranger in the CITY,
applied for and obtained letters of admin
lstratIon OF his former partners estate
he converted the real estate into cash, sold
the business on Sixteenth street and drew
out what money Nixon had in the bank.
1t was estimated that he obtained alto
gether between $4,000 and $1,000. William
Nixon often pressed him for settlement,
but he put him off with a few dollars at a
time. Then Nixon's father wrote Rutledge
pitiful letter from Ireland that he was
starving. and begging him to send some
money, but none was sent.
Finally William Nixon saw that he was
being duped, and on September had Rut-
ledge arrested on charge of felony en-
bezzlement. Rutledge was released on
$4,000, but his bondsmen, becoming &C
Quainted with the facts, withdrew from his
bond and he was rearrested on September
8. He gave another bond for $1,000, the
sureties being James S. Irvine of Irvine
Bros, grocers, and D. Ghirardelli of Ghirar-
deli & Sons, Sansome street, which is the
bond declared forfeited on Saturday
There will apparently be a fight when
the amount of the bond is sought to be
recovered. The attorneys for the prosecu-
ton and defense allege that Judge Low
some time after the bond was accepted re-
leased Rutledge on his own recognizance.

phatically denies the allegation, and there

The Parnells started off with the wind in
their favor. The ball was kept lodging

OF sharp scrimmage. secured a goal for
the Parnells. Captain Hurley soon fol-
lowed with another goal by dribbling the
ball through, and it looked as if the Par
nells would quickly run up a big score
Captain McInerney, however, by a fine
run, got the ball close up to the Parnells'
goal and sent it through. Some clever
play followed, till Captain Hurley, who
was working like a Trojan, lodged his way
down the field, passed to Slattery, who
scored another goal.
The second half had barely commenced
when Creole scored a goal for the San
FranciScos. Several tries for goal were
made by both sides without effect, till at
last the ball got in front of the Parnells'
goal. There seemed to be a hazy idea that
the referee had blown his whistle, and
there was momentary cessation of play.
Palmer yelled, ''Why don't you play?"
and in a twinkling Murphy kicked the

the ball in the Parnells' territory and
