Mrs. Nadine Nichols, who is a

Velguth's system of thievery was
unique. His employers had such
astonishing confidence in his in
tegrity that they kept no check
on him. He received thousands Of
dollars every month in payment of
gas bills, and whenever he wanted
some money he would rip the re-
ceipted stub out OF the daybook,
put the money in his pocket, ma
nipulate the adding machine and
force the balances in the cash
book. Detection was almost i'm
possible, chiefly fer the reason that
he discovered a way of tampering
with the adding machine to make

receipts were decreasing month by

the $500 in greenbacks' with
which the bill was to be paid.
Thhey gave the bill and the cash
