AGENT TRIED FOR EMsEzzLEMEH7
Conducts His Own Case So Well
That Prosecution Abandons Case.

W. Nelson Walton, a distinguished
looking old gentleman, was tried in the
Special Sessions Court, on a charge of
embezzlement. Mr.. Walton conducted his
own case. and did it in manner from
which some of the young lawyers who
practice in court could have learned a
lesson.
The defendant was employed as sub
agent for the National Insurance Com
pany, of Vermont. and had an Office in
Broad street, Newark. Under an agree
ment with William Reed, the General
Agent for Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Walton was to be allowed commissions
and expenses. He wrote three policies;
but did not make any remittance to the
General Agents office, in Philadelphia.
When he wrote policy for John Roe
melt, of No. 40 Hutton street, this city.
and forwarded it to Philadelphia. Albert
H. Arseler, of No. ABS Chestnut street,
Philadelphia, the cashier, wrote him that
the policy would not be accepted unless
the premium was remitted The pren;-
um was not RENTED and Mr.. Arseler
wrote to Mr.. Roewelt for information.
Mr.. Roewelt replied that he had paid the
premium, $40.60 to Walton. 1t was for re-
tanning this money that Walton was ar
rested.
The defendant insisted that under his
contract with Reed he was entitled to
retain sufficient money out of the preni-
ums he collected to fit up his office, and
pay his expenses and commissions, and
the amount he had collected had fallen
short of doing that. 1t was shown that
Reed had advanced him $500 and taken his
notes for it. The notes had been allowed
to go to protest. Walton contended that
this was personal transaction between
him and Mr.. Reed, and the company had
nothing to do with it.
Assistant Prosecutor Van Wrinkle
abandoned the case and said that it seem
ed to him to be a matter for civil rather
than a criminal suit Judge Blair agreed
with him and acquitted the defendant.

commodity usually commands the
highest figure, which is lowered as

by some strange freak been reversed

weeks ago the first load of melons,
fine large ripe ones, were brought in
to town and sold out at 8 cents, the
next load brought 20 cents and now
you cannot get one for less than 20
cents. But they are worth the mon
ey, as Weiser melons cannot be beat
