EMBEZZLEMENT THE CHARGE.
Former Chief Market Master McRae
on Trial at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, January 1o.-Declaring
that he had no criminal intent In taking
the city's money, but that his acts were
result of extreme nervous derange-
ment, due to frequent debauches, George
P McRae, former chief market master
and son-in-law Of John J. Mahon, on
trial here to answer charges of embezZle-
ment, testified in his own behalf that 1t
was with the intention of replacing every
cent, coupled with his unstrung condi-
ton, that he took the money instructed
to him.
McRae was tried without jury before
Judges Harlan and StOckbridge. States
Attorney Owens and Assistant States At
torney Williams conducted the prosecu-
ton, while the accused market master
was defended by Attorneys William G.
Smith and \. J. Quinn. Testimony on
both sides was concluded and argument
begun yesterday afternoon.
The efforts of the defense were con-
centrated In an attempt to prove that
McRae at the time of his alleged en-
beZzIement was mentally irresponsible
through excessive dissipation, and that
his taking of the money was due to this
condition rather than to criminal inten-
lions. McRae, who was the last witness,
freely admitted taking money at different
times though the specific Indictment on
which he was tried charges him with
taking $50.
