ACCUSED OF EMBEzzLING
August Schwartz and His Wife
GraYely Charged,
THE FORMER SENT 10 JAIL
Proceedings Against the Latter
Dropped.

August and Mary Schwartz were ar
rested at their home at llollyoak on
Thursday by Constable Began, who
brought them to the city and locked
them up on the charge ol embezzle-
ment, a warrant having been sworn out
by Thomas b. Stub, a health officer
connectud with the Marcus Hook
quarantine station. Mr.. Stub resides
at Hollyoak, where he owns large
property. Some time ago hn employed
Schwartz ard his wife to take care OF
the place, and recently he had been
informed that they had been selling
produce from the place and approprla-
ting the money to their own use.
Constable Began went to the resi-
dence of the Schwartzes armed with
search warrant and tho house was
thoroughly searched, the investigation
giving every evidence that Mr.. Stulb's
suspicious were correct In trunk
we're found sundry articles belonging
| to Mr.. Stub. which the Schwartzes evil
IDENTIFY intended to appropriate.
Other evidences of deception were
also found about the house. and on the
strength of what had been revealed the
constable felt perfectly safe in making
the arrest while the suspected parties
we're handy. Accordingly he took the
man and his wife into custody and they
were brought to Wilmington.
| Shortly before noon Mr.. and Mrs.
| Schwartz were arraigned before Magis-
| trate Pritchett, the specific charge be-
| ing that they had committed larceny as
bailee. Considerable testimony was
| heard, and it was proved almost beyond
doubt that the prisoners were guilty.
1t was shown that since January 10th
they hal sold farm produce to various
store keepers in this city, the charge
appeared to be proved.
In fact Schwartz practically admitted
his guilt by offering 10 settle the cast
for a consideration, but Mr. Stub de
clined to settle and Schwartz was hell
in $500 bail to answer the charge at th'
upper court. Mr.. Stub dropped th
charge against the wife and she wa
allowed to depart AS no bail VIZ
handy after the trial Schwartz wa
taken by Constable Began to the polio
station, where he was locked up.
After the trial there was an affecting
scene in the court room. Husband AM
wife broke down. Both were in tear
and the wife wept bitterly. 1t sceme'
as if her heart would break, but sh
! brightened up little when the magis
trate told her she would be allowed t
visit her husband after he was take
to prison. When the constable starte
off with Schwartz, the latter presse
, an affectionate kiss on his wife's cheek
after which she sank into chair an
:. sobbed.
Mr.. Stub did not fix the amount c
his loss. He cared little for that hi
desire being to stop the alleged deceI
: | tion.
