in hills tooether with several checks. He
mt the nackage into his safe, not locking
the door as he intended to carry the money
away at once. Something occurred to call
him out of doors for short time, when he
soon discovered that his money was gone.
He had woman at work for him by the
name of Friend, who saw him handling
the money. He at once decided that she
must have taken it. He set man to watch
her movements while he got papers for her
arrest. Meantime some boys who were
plaving about the house found the checks
under window. The woman was brought
before Justice Mossman, but the evidence
did not seem sufficient to warrant him in
binding her up. Later, Mr.. Ufford had
the matter carried before the county grand
iurv. but without finding an indictment.
No further clue could be got of the money.
The second chapter in the history is that
his present hired girl in cleaning up a
cupboard in the house came across the
money, $177, done up in handkerchief,
together with an envelope on which APP
peared the name of the same Mrs. Friend.
Pretty good evidence that the suspicious
that the woman, after taking the money,
secreted it with the intention Of getting
away with it, but she had no opportunity
to do SO, and MI. Ufford finds his cupboard
very safe deposit for his surplus funds.
We understand that he gave the woman
who found it $40.
