B00KKEEPER ON.
TRIAL AS $4,000
EMbEZZLER
r. A. Wilson's Defense Is That
Discrepancy Is Due to His
Errors.

With the State contending that he
Is an 'embezzler and the defense
claiming that he simply is an incom-
petent bookkeeper and not criminal,
H. A. Wilson, former secretary and
treasurer of the S. W. Bacon Produce
Company, at No 80 West Alabama
street, went on trial in Judge Hills
Court Tuesday on a charge of larceny
after trust.
Wilson is accused of making away
with about $4,000 Of his employers
money during the years of 1911 and
1917, His attorneys, George Spence
and Walter McElreath, will contend
that the mistakes found in Wilson'S
books we're due to his lack of knowl-
edge Of bookkeeping and not to any
criminal act.
Employer on Stand.
Mr.. Bacon was the first witness to
take the stand after the trial opened
Tuesday. eli said that Wilson had
served him sometime as treasurer and
bookkeeper and that he never sus-
pected that anything was wrong until
one day he gave him 800 to deposit
in bank and later found that he
had deposited only $50.
Then an audit of the books, Sep
TENDER s, 1913, revealed the fact that
there was an apparent shortage of
several thousand dollars.
Mr.. Bacon said that during the
time of his service at the produce
company Wilson spent half of his
time at work and the other half at
ball games.
Books Full of Errors.
Audit j. H. Cordes testified that he
examined the books kept by Wilson
and found hundreds of errors in them.
He said that according to the show
ing of the books amounts ranging
from 81 to $3.50 had been misappro-
priated at different times. The audi
tor said that Wilson offered no eX-
PLANTATION when the mistakes were
called to his attention. He appeared
to be highly excited and worried over
tn mattr, but could throw no light
upon it. said Cordes.
Shortly after the alleged shortage
was discovered Wilson went to Cuba,
but returned to Atlanta and was in
dicted on a charge of larceny after
trust
