For some months past f. II. Robbins
has missed money from his store In
Gouldsville and has been unable to ac-
count for its disappearance. Recently,
however, suspicion rested on his clerk,
George E. Tenney, and by marked
bills and in other ways he became full
ly convinced that he had found the
thief. He accused Tenney of abstract
ing money from him and the evidence
ina Mr.. Robbins hands was so conciu-
siye that the clerk confessed that he
had taken money from time to time.

something like $1,000 and the restitu-
tion made viii cover over one-halt OF
