John Meyerholtz, who was arrested
here last September on complaint of
P. B. Moore, the Springfield real es-
tate dealer, on the charge of embez-
element of funds to the amount of
$3.50, is said to have been arrested at
Warrenville, N. Y, last week. At
the trial in September the charges
were not sustained, as Judge Davis of
Thompsonville held that as partner
ship existed between Moore and Mey-
erholtz the charge of embezzlement
was untenable. Meyerholtz, after
being acquitted, came back here to
continue the sale of the Brown lots
that was being conducted by himself
and Mr.. Siebert, but Mr.. Brown re-
fused to allow the sale to go on
Messrs. Meyerholtz and Siebert went
from here to Rockville, where they
conducted a sale of lots. It is said
that the Springfield police have been
in search of Meyerholtz since the sit
ting of the grand jury in December,
when an Indictment was found against
him on the charge of larceny of $1,000
from P. B. Moore. Meyerholtz will
probably be held at Glens Falls, N.
Y. pending the obtaining of requisi-
tion papers before he can be taken to
Springfield for trial. F. B. Knowles
of Boston was in the borough last
week in search of Meyerho1tz, who,
he claimed, sold some property for
him in the vicinity of Boston recent
ly and failed to turn over the pro-
ceeds.
