WILLIAM CAS0N.
Former Columbian Arrested for
EmbeZzlement.
[sunday's Nashville American

Sundays Nashville American.
William A. Cason, one of the best
known young men in the city, was
arrested last night by Detectives
Lynch and Crockett on a charge of
embeZzlement.
The charge was preferred by
Duncan q Waddey, real estate
agents, with whom Cason had been
connected for about six years in the
capacity of bOOkkeeper. The firm
alleges that Cason has embezzled
various sums amounting to about
$500. The defalcations, they claim,
extend over period of about five
years.
The shortage in Cason's books was
/ discovered about month ago.
Cason made good $4,000 of the
amount alleged to have been en-
| bezzled. AS he was unable to pay
the entire amount, Sanford Dun
can yesterday went before Squire
| b. +. South and swore out the war
/ rant for Cason's arrest.
CasOn claims that when he paid
over the $4,000 he was assured that
the amount paid would fully settle
all claims against him. He states
that the amount refunded by him
covers any and all shortage that
could be found in his books. He
says he was greatly surprised at his
arrest and intimated that the firm
did not treat him right in the matter.
CasOn remained at the station
house all night, and up to the time
of going to press he had not succeed
ed in making bond. His bond has
been fixed at $4,000 and the pre-
liminary hearing is set for O'Clock
Monday afternoon.
CasOu is a member of the Her
mitage Club, and has for many

He was engaged to be married to a
well-knOwn and popular young lady
and Invitations were issued for the
event, which was to have taken
place Jan. u. When the fact OF
, Cason's embezzlement first leaked
out the young lady's father and
brothers prevailed upon her tC
break the engagement. A card tC
! the effect that the marriage had
been postponed was published il
