tain confirmation upon which to base
DossibIe additional arrests in connec-
tion with the theft Of large sums of
money from the Collateral Loan Com
nanv. known as the largest loan bro
Ixerage concern in the country. The
fy7vestigatfon of the company's affairs

+bafts not connected with the methods
alleged to have been used by "1lllaIn
Cobb. who has just resigned as presl-
dent of the company and who was
arrested last night charged with the
embezzlement of $4,000. The pollce
believe that jewelry in large quantities
pledged with the company has neen
taken from the vaults and re-pledgeo
with a resultant loss to the concern
of about $4,000.
1t was expected that Cobb, who spent
last night in Jail in default OF $z0'ooo
bonds would be given hearing TO-
day
The uncovering or an aooilioliei
Shortage of $4,000 bringing the total
alleged discrepancy up to $4,000 was

Tallahassee, Dec. 4.-The supreme

Gambia county.
In one Of the cases J. S. Reese OF the
Citizens and Peoples bank filed suit

prior lien on the property and Northup
appealed the case to the supreme

Of Judge Wolfe and held that Northup
had the prior lien on the property.
