B B 0 I IS
Under ARREST
Empioye of Carruth Lumber Co. Is
Charged With Embezzling
Funds.

R. G. Robertson, for the past two
years bookkeeper for the Carruth
Lumber Company, formerly of Rosine,
but now located at Coral, has been ar
rested and placed in Jail at Purvis on
charge of embezzlement
Robertson it seems had enjoyed the
most implicit confidence of the men,
bers of the Carruth Lumber Com
pany, and his alleged operations are
claimed to have covered a period of
the whole two years he has been
in the employment of the company,
commencing the first month. His
method it is alleged, was to force a
balance of the ledger daily, and i'll
this he is said to have defrauded the
, company out of something like $1,000
since first coming with them. Sever
al months ago a brother of Mr.. Thos.
l.. Carruth, the president of the COM
pany went to Coral to assist in the
office work. The actions of Robert
son excited the distrust of Mr.. Car
ruth, who decided to make an investi-
cation of the books without saying
anything to Mr.. Thos. Carruth con-
corning his suspicious. Accordingly
he made an examination of Robert
sons November account and found an
alleged shortage of about $500. He
then called in others interested and
went over the whole account of the
year 1911. Thinking that the opera
tons were confined to the office since
its removal to Coral, they stopped in
vestigations for the time, but later
went over the old books at Rosine and
found that Robertson's alleged short
age at Rosine exceeded that at Coral
On communication with parties at
Nicalia, La, where Robertson was
formerly employed and a consequent
examination of his books there stc "
an alleged shortage in his accounts at
that place, but it had neYe- been IS
covered unit t..le pat: ., nad been ap-
prised of the CJrai affair. His trial
will come ~ at Purvis some time
this week. Robertson is alleged to
lave confessed his shortage to his en-
ployers, but since has denied his guilt
and states that he is being prosecuted
r. prejudiced parties.
Robertson, before his arrest, had
made arrangements to open an office
n Hat..:csburg as en- expert account
ant.
