Downs. the young clerk in the Office OF
the City Register, continues under arr
resi-. charged with embezziement OF
funds belonging to the city, and the
further probing into the matter which
appears 70 reveal an even worse state
OF affairs In, the city hall than had
been expectAf.
y, Downs was given hearing this az
ternoon before Police Magistrate
Johansgen. during which States AL
t0rHey AS. Y. owens stated, In askiug
that Downs bs held. that she amount
Of money taken from the city would
probably amount % 100000, .s
Magistrate J0henssen held the ac-
cused for hearing tomorrow afternoon
without bail. Downs's attorney there
upon secured writ OF habeas corpus
and took his client beforesJndge Stock
bridge. the attorney declaring the hold
ing Of Downs without bail to be an
outrage.
Judge stockbridge sustained the ac-
tion Of the magistrate. though upon
agreement OF the attorneys for both
sides. bail was finally fixed by the
Judge at $4,000.
It Is charged that on numerous oc-
easions, when Downs went to make
deposits in the several banksin which
the city has accounts. he made out de-
posit slips for sums ranging from $500
to $4,000 less than the deposits should
have been and afterwards. changed the
bank tellers figures In the bank books
to show that the full deposits had been
made.
Downs is 2s years old. and has been
twice married. his first wife having
died He has been living In style
very far beyond the means of a 5000
q year clerk. which be was receiving
until recently, when he was promoted
to 31,400 clerkship. He has been
known widely as a lavish spender.
He kept d couple Of race horses. had
q quartette Of prize-fighters regularly
In his pay spent much money on prize
fights and horse races, sporting trips
out OF town and on women, and dressed
In expensive style.
Downs Is bonded in a local bonding
sompany to the extent of $4,000, and
City Register Thomas to the amount
of $4,000. The latter bond, 1t is
claimed, covers any defalcations In the
City Registers ONCE. but this appears
to be In some doubt.
Up to late hour tonight Downs was
still In custody.
