eral occasions failed TO ring up on the
cash register the full amount which he
was paid for paper, He has been en-
plOyed by the Morrison Company for
over three years, and up TO a short
time ago was considered a trusted en-
ploye.
Alleged Methods Employed.
According to the police, Mcdonald
employed rather a unique method. In

ceived for certain sales, il is said, he
would turn in a ticket for Jess than the
amount. and keep the difference. In
this manner he avoided detection for
some time.
The arrest was made upon complaint
of John /. Prosise. manager of the com
pany, who had suspicioned Mcdonald
for several days. He reported 10 the
police that some one employed by the
house was doing crooked work. An in
vestigation by Detective McNamee con-
vinced him that Mcdonald had some
knowledge Of the transactions. in
which. it is said, there was a shortage

was suspicious OF the way Mcdonald
handled the company's money. and adj

This confirmed Mr.. Prosise's belief. and
