added to this crime by forging Mr.
Dargan's name. The scheme worked
successfully, and he kept it up unit
he finally got little too bold, ano
sent in the book by another party te
buy some goods with. This man hand
ed the book to one of the book-keeper:
to detach the coupons for his purchase
The book. keeper at once discovered
that the stub slip in the book, that il
always filed when the books are sold
was still in the book. He then saw
the name was forged, and he immedi
ately had Gregory arrested. Gregory
was carried before Magistrate Meng
who found him guilty and sentenced
him to 80 days for petit larceny. Th'
charge of forgery will also come agains
him in the higher courts. When Greg
ory found that he was in it, be &C
knowledged that he had taken six o
the books, equivalent to $50, which h'
used. He said he took the books ont
at a time as he needed them. He wa
tried and sent to Union Friday, wher'
he will have time to mediate over tn
evils of hissway on the chaingang.
