SHORT IN ACCOUNTS.
Charge Against Chef Employed by
Norwegian Minister

When placed under arrest last night on a
charge of embeZzlement, Louis Guinot.
thirtyone years of age, admitted a short
age in his accounts of $206, the police say,
and explained that the situation was due
to his having played the races. Guinot,
who is a French chef, is alleged to have
kept the amount of money stated when he
was given the cash and directed to pay a
Dill Tor Christian Hauge, the Norwegian
minister. Guinot employed by the
Norwegian representative, 1871 Rhode
Island avenue, and he had full charge of
the purchasing of food for the household
Minister Hauge reported to the police
several days ago that he suspected his
chef was short in his accounts, and De-
tectives Baur and Cornwell were assigned
to make an investigation. They found
Guinot at his room. 2117 Pennsylvania
ave: W. last night and accused him of the
shortage. He explained that he had ne
lected to pay the bill and said the reason
for his failure was that he was fond Of
playing the races and expected to win
money from the bookmakers. 1t was his
intention to settle the bill as soon as he
got money enough. he stated. but at the
time of his arrest he had only about $3.50.
Friends of the young Frenchman came
to his assistance last night and procured
a bondsman for him, but as none Of the
clerks Of the Police Court could be found
to accept the bond, Guinot had to remain
behind the bars all night. Bond was given
hearing of the case was postponed for
three days, the understanding being that
the charge against the chef will be nolle
pressed when the grocery bill is paid.
