Accused Of Embezzlement

Stewart l. Jacobs, the young man who
was arrested by Detective Burlingame of
headquarters at Winchester, Va, Tues
day, and was brought to this city, was
arraigned in the Police Court yesterday
on charge Of embezzlement from his
employers, the Bay State Company fur
niture and book dealers. He pleaded not
guilty and waived the preliminary hear
ing before the court. He was ordered to
give $500 bond for his appearance in the
higher courts and the case was sent to the
grand jury.
Jacobs. 1t is said, is member of a promi-
nent family in Winchester and has high
reputation and standing in that community.
He has been employed as collector here
for some time past, and recently, the en-
ployers say, he has failed to turn in his COL
lection. A few days ago he left the city,
and the case was reported to the police.
After his arrest, the police say, Jacobs
admitted that he was short about $780, but
stated that he expected to make it good.
