PROBABLY Prof. Miles appointment
to a soft snap in the Agricultural Col
lege was due to the fact that he
claimed a seat in the council of the
3lst legislative assembly 10 which he
was not elected. 1t will be remem.
bered that he was sworn in by that
prince Of swearers In, Secretary MIL
Ter, and was unseated in haste by the
help Of Some democratic Votes, so rot

this is the reason he was appointed,

ALSO GUILTY OF FORGERY.
Owen Moran Works au Entirely New
scheme,

Since Owen Moran was sent to the
county Jail Monday at the instance OF
the Bay State Publishing company for
spending $50 of the money he was en-
gagged to collect for them, 1t has de-
veloped that he has also been guilty OF
forgery.
The local manager of the company
Joseph p Reddinston, discovered upon
attempting to collect some bills, that
the parties had never ordered nor re-
ceived the books. Notwithstanding that
Moran presented at the store written
orders with their names and addresses,
evidently written by themselves. An
investigation showed that these namss
had been forged and that the books
secured by this means had been sold at
ridiculously low prices by Moran, who
pocketed the money.
A warrant was sworn out before AL
derman Donovan yesterday charging
Moran with forgery. He was taken
down from Jail and given a hearing
which resulted in his being called upon
to furnish $500 additional bail He, of
course. could not, and was sent back IL
await trial on the two charges.
