ton yesterday in the trial of George N.

superior court
Tichenor is charged with embezzlng
about $2400 of the associations funds
while acting as it's Los Angeles agent,
and, according to Mr.. McNab, the ac-
cused man made a clean breast OF the
wrongdoing with which he Is charged
stating the money, amounting to thou
sands of dollars, had been lost on horse
races.
Early in May last, said the witness,
Tichenor visited him at his office Ill
San Francisco. HE told me ne had
taken several thousands of dollars OF
the associations money" declared Mr.
McNab ''All of it was lost on the
races. AS near as 1 can recall his
statements, he said: This is the only
crime | have ever committed. You can
take a pound of flesh II you insist.
You can send me to the penitentiary

more keenly than the taking of the
money the loss of the trust and con-
idence you and Mr.. Corbin have had

just as they are.
Must Protect Stockholders
Mr.. McNab said the statement was
made voluntarily. 81 told TichenorI
there would be no indulgence by the
directors; that they must protect the
stockholders" said McNab. Because
of his sympathy for Tichenor and a
wish to aid him in his trouble, he said,
he gave him $500 of his own money.
E. E. Moss. court reporter, testified
that Tichenor, during the preliminary
examination. admitted receiving 5000
in deposits for the association March
g. last year, and remitting only $40 to
the head office in San Francisco. No

been misappropriated by Tichenor was
placed on the books.
A number of depositors testified they
had paid money to Tichenor, records of
which could not be found except on
their pasSbooks.

ON HOSIERY COUNTER
PACKAGE OF SECURITIES IS
LEFT BY STRANGER

pIoye of Bay City Store, but
No One Advertised for
Fortune

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-That
some one in this city is So careless of
his wealth that he can lose 5000
without making any inquiries for it
was the astonishing disclosure of j. L..
Samuels, a clerk, who two days ago
picked up a package in the dry goods
store with which he is connected, con-
tanning Il small fortune in negotiable
securities.
Just as the store was about to close
last Monday night Samuels -ound a
large envelope on the hosiery counter.
The contents consisted of shares in
mining concerns, and as most of them
are registered they could be easily ne
gotiated.
Samuels waited for two days before
announcing his find, in the belief that
the owner would certainly advertise
his loss. The shares are now in d safe
deposit, where they will be kept till an
owner appears and proves his property
by naming the exact value of the
shares and the companies which issued
them.
