taking with him $130 which he is alleged
to have abstracted from the bureau
drawer of Mrs. Libby's residence. He
is said to be a gambler, which fact has
gotten him into trouble q number oil
times. He Was missing yesterday, but
as he has often been away before
always coming back with some excuse

but when the money was found to be
missing also, an investigation revealed
the fact tn It the servant-girl had seer

money had been placed the day before
