PLENTY OF TENS AND FIVES
YOUNG NICHOLS CONFlScATED HIS
EMPLOYERS CASH.
NONE WONDER NOW THAT THE
TWO WOULD-BE KLONDYKE
PROSPECTORS TRIPPED UP BY
DETECTIVE JONES lTIAD MONEY.

DETECTIVE JONES lHAD MONEY.
The secret of the escape Of young
Joseph Nichols and James Thomas
from Cambridge, Md, which resulted in
their arrest on a Delaware road train
in this cey by Detective Jones, is out,
Now nobody wonders how the boys
could have $40 and So notes secreted
about them and taken from them in the
detectives search.
Nichols, il seems, was in the employ
OF Albert Spedden, a merchant of Cam
bridge, and il was he who first notified
Sheriff Phillips. of Dorchester county.
who prompted the detectives. Both
boys have bCrne up we'll under their
arrest. They are clean-lOoking, bright
eyed fellows, seemingly not given to
wIOng-doing.
According to a dispatch from Cam
bridge, Mr.. Spedden says he discover
ed that his cash had been tampered
with. In making his deposits in the
National Bank of Cambridge. where he
has an account, he usually made out a
ticket for the amount and placed this
with the notes and bills in his bank
book, which was sent to the bank by
the clerk.
On one or two occasions the bank Of
ficers called Mr.. Spedden's attention to
the fact that the amount deposited by
the young man was less than that
started on the deposit slip, but as the
difference was small he concluded he
had made a mistake and thought no
more Of it until yesterday, when the
bank clerks found an entry in the bank
book not in their handwriting
They Immediately notified Mr.. Sped
den, who came 10 the conclusion that
the clerk made the entry. and instead
of carrying the money to the bank pu.
IL in his pocket. This conclusion was
strengthened by the discovery that the
deposit slip sent to the bank for s71.34
had been changed to S3634. and the
balance of the money was unaccounted
for
Mr.. Spedden was dumfounded to find
his bank account something like a
thousand dollars less than he Thought
10 ought to have been, and Immediately
swore out a writ for the young mans
arrest.
