tBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire
Chicago. Feb. 25.-One of the larg-
est, If not the largest theft in the
history of the United States treasury
has been discovered here. Between
$4,000 and 100000 was stolen from
the local subtreasury last week The
money has disappeared and. it is said
no trace Of It can be found The au-
thorties, both here and at Washing
ton, have been working night and day
on the robbery ever since it was dis
covered. The money was stolen either
week ago last Saturday or last Sun
day or Monday. All The ihoney was in
large bills sf the Iden9mination of
one, five and ten thousand dollars
1t was at first be!ieNedfthat an error
in bookkeeping wasl gksponsible for
the shortage but 1/checking up it
was found to be due 70 robbery.
When interviewed today in regard
to the robbery, Treasurer Boldenweck
admitted that a theft of $4,000 had
been peruetrated, but he declined to
go into details. at is true that what
| and other government officials be
lieve 70 be a gigantic steal has bean
perpetrated in the sub-treasurV." he
said. The amount. | believe. will be
$4,000. At present | cannoJ go into
details as to what, work we have dona
in the case. We discovered The short
age last Wednesday when the books
were balanced for the day. There is
the possibility that the shortage IS
due to an error in bookkeeping, but /
am strongly inclined - the belief that
robbery has been committed"
Later in the dav Mr. Boldenweok
declared that it had been definitely
determined Just whore the shortage
occurred, but he declined to say tn

Special Dispatch to the Morning Journal.

Especial Dispatch to the Morning Journaii
Santa Fe, y. NJ, Feb. 25.-Among
other opinions handed down by the
supreme court today Is an opinion
by Chief Justice Mills sustaining the
opinion of the lower court in the case
of the territory VS.. Abran Abeyta, q
former treasurer of Socorro county.
1t is charged that Abeyta embezzed
a large amount Of money belonging
to the county. This money was af-
terwdrd made good by an agreement
between his bondsmen and the county
commission. Abeyta, however, was
indicted upon several counts for em-
bezzlement. The/court held that un-
der section l1RYof the compiled laws,
demurrer tqan indictment against
county treasurer charging embez-
element is properly sustained where
the indictment does not charge that
the accused was not able to meet the
demand of any person lawfully de-
manding the same. In other words,
an Indictment which does not show
that the funds alleged to have been
embezzled are still unpaid or cannot
be paid. Is not sustainable. The
Abrau Abeyta case was one of the
sensations of the period.
Present in the supreme court room
today was Judge Matt G. Reynolds,
of St Louis formerly of the court of
private land claims. He is here on
private legal business.
