IN MONMOUTH
Shipping Clerk at United Lead
Works Was Arrested on
Warrant Yesterday.

Until Detectives Were Put
on His Trail.

Charged with having stolen lead
from the United Lead Company in
this city since last October, David
H. Eldridge, a shipping clerk about
forty years old, living at 224 Fay
cite street, was arrested here yes

Monmouth county grand jury. In de-
fault of the bail he was taken to
the Monmouth county jail at Free

At the United Lead Company's
plant this morning an official who
is in charge of the case against
Eldridge, stated that the latter had
been employed at the lead works
for the past four years. He vas a
shipping clerk and had always been
a trusted employe until a few months
ago. A year ago lead In various
forms was missed. White lead dis
appeared In small quantities. The
thefts were kept up until a few
weeks ago when, It is declared Ed
ridge took large quantities Of lead.
This he sold here and through Mon
mouth, the factory officials and Mon
mouth officials have learned.

thefts at first. They did a bit of
detective work and for the past
few months had Eldridge under sur
~veillance. He was watched both in
and out of thep liant. In that man
ner it was learned he stole from
this company's store rooms and sold
at a low rate in this city and
through a portion Of south Jersey.
The next thing the officials set to
work to get convicting proofs, which
they have been securing for the past
few weeks.
Yesterday Eldridge was arrested
at thep liant on a warrant issued in
Monmouth county. He was arrested
or such a warrant because it is de-
clared most of the goods he stole
were disposed of in that county. 1t

and three dollars less a pound than
the regular price.
