PASSPORT Embezzler
Admits His Guilt.

Ernest A. F'arris, for the past Il
years assistant postmaster at East
port. was before United States COM
missioner c. II. Reid, Jr., at Bangor
Friday, and pleaded guilty to the
charge of embezzlement of postal
funds to the amount of $4,000 from the
Eastport postoffiee. Bail was fixed "a
$4,000 for appearance at the next ses-
sion of the district court to be held in
Portland on the second Tuesday in De-
cember
Farris was arrested i'm PASSPORT,
Wednesday, by Deputy United States
Marshal Ferd A. Stevens of Portland.
and brought to Bangor, Thursday.
Pending the securing of bail he was
committed TO the Penobscot county
Jail.
Farris. who is 80 years of age is mar
ried and has four children, the oldest
being six and the youngest one year.
He is native of PASSPORT and has al
ways had a good reputation and the
town Is considerably stirred up over
the unfortunate occurrence, the towns
people having considerable sympathy
for Farris as well as his family. Before
being brought to Bangor Farris signed
an affidavit signed by four witnesses,
In which he confessed 10 have taken
the money so that his plea of guilty
Friday morning was not unexpected
The first information that Farris had
been misappropriating postal funds
came, Wednesday. when the postmast-
er at Eastport got into communication
A n
Pierce and C. C. Hart, informing them
he thought there might be a shortage
in Farris' accounts and they went TO
Eastport Wednesday and at once made
an inspection of the office, discovering
that the stamp account, of which Far
ris had charge. was about $4,000 short.
Farris was arrested by Deputy Stevens
and brought to Bangor accompanied
by the inspectors.
The misrepresentation of funds By
Farris has been going on for a period
of about four years and the fact that
ii was not discovered before was be-
caus of a clever scheme which he de-
vised for covering up his deeds. Pack
ages of $4,000 stamps, from which he
had from time to time taken different
difiouIiAst Nttc Hiltu Will WlapPlii7
and blotting paper to make them app
pear like full packages and We're then
sealed UP and replaced in the vault.
When the accounts of the office were
inspected there was nothing to indi-
cate shortage as the stock always
appeared to be as marked on the pack
ages. The stamps taken out were sold
at the stamp window and the money
appropriated.
Farris was appointed assistant post
master Sept /, 1889, and had served
under three postmasters. He was
never suspected of being dishonest and
there was no indication that he was
living beyond what his salary would
allow Recently he had been devotins
his spare time to raising hens.
The punishment for the crime is Civ
en- by the Federal statutes as the pay
ment of the amount of money taken,
or not more than 10 years imprison-
ment or both.
