Consents to Face Charge

A short stay in 4 cell at the first
precinct police station yesterday after
noon induced Ross TO say he would re-
turn TO Montreal and face the charge of
being short in his accounts with the
Jeffrey Manufacturing Company. where
he was employed as cashier and ac-
countant. Shortly after Ross was taken
into custody the police arrested Baker.
Ross was considerably surprised when
Detectives Cox and herman. who met
linn near PENNSYLVANIA avenue and 11th
street. told him he was wanted. He had
never been arrested before. he said. He
recovered composure however. and went
to the first precinct station.
At police headquarters Ross gave his;
address as 22siJ Esplanade avenue. Mon
treal He said he had been away from
there since last month. He was perfectly
willing 10 discuss the charges against
him. admitting his shortage, and placing
il as about $1,000 \ message from Mon
treal stated the embeZZlement to be about
$l.WU higher.
The concern which Ross is said TO have
robbed is engaged in the manufacture
Of machinery. Ross was a trusted en-
ploye. and il was possible Tor him TO get
behind in his accounts in large amount
before detection. He told a Star reporter
he began by taking small sums from time
to time until he got SO far behind he had
10 take larger amounts in an effort 10
win back enough to make up the short
age Ultimately he found himself SO
deeply involved he concluded TO leave
