was the personal property OF Mr.. Esten.
This had been identified beyond shadow
OF doubt and for its improper conversion

ted
Mr.. Sunderland said that there was
nearly $4,000 worth OF wool missing
which he hoped TO locate in one OF the
several wool storage lofts in and about
Worcester.
The only way he could conceive for
the removal OF the wool without detec-
tion was that after an order had been
given upon the store house for the
pickerman, one-quarter Of the lot must
have been kept back after the pickerman
had weighed up the whole Then after
the mill was closed for the night the
wool must have been taken away a bag
at time.
TRUEsDALE TO BE ARRESTED.
Sheriff Lynch was instructed to proceed
TO Washington at once, take Truesdale
into custody and then get his warrant
from the clerk OF the court.
Mr. Sunderland further said that Trues-
dale had been with him for two years
only and that before that he had worked
at Pawtucket.
