De Luca say he doesn't, that they

Anyway. a jury in the Court of
Quarter Sessions late yesterday after
noon apparently believed the story of
Leonardis and De Luca, and on the
strength of 1t convicted Singer of EN-
bezzling si24,70 from the real owners
of the store.
Singer strenuously denied that any
one other than himself owned the
store and claimed that any shortage

hlbited n District Court constable's
bill of sale, which sold them the prop
erty in December 1918, at Il fore

According to the complainants. the
defendant several times acknowl-
edged his shortage and promised to
make it good when he received mar
riage portion of $40. 900 he was expect
ing from the father of a Paterson
girl he was going to marry.
The Indictment against Singer
charged him with the embezzlement
of the money from April to June g.
last year. the amount representing tho
difference between the amount of cash
received from Singer and the amount
of the cash register record and also
two sums said to have been paid by
sick benefit organizations for drug
bills.
Singer who owned the store up to
December, 1918, claimed that Leonar-
dis and De Luca lent him the $3.50 to
pay off the mortgage with the un-
derstanding that he was to pay them
ST 900 for the loan. They never bought
the store, he said. Two checks for
$50, said to be for interest, and made
by DR.. James Leonardis, a son of
one of the compliments, to his father
were offered In evidence to substan-
tiate this claim. DR.. Leonardis, ac-
cording to the complainants, was
hired as manager of the store, but
according to Singer his only con-
nection with the business was as a
sort of bookkeeper and auditor for
which he, Singer, paid him $3.50 a
week.
The complainants testified that
they had paid Singer SIS week for
his services, but the business became
so poor last spring that they cut
his salary to $13 Singer denied this,
and explained the checks for these
sums that were put in evidence by
saying he drew SIS week of his
profits and cut it down to sl3 of his
own volition.
Singer could not tell, however, what
bank he kept his funds in. Some
money he kept in the Ironbound
Trust Company he said, and the rest
in "a bank on Broad street" In
bringing in a verdict of guilty the
Jury recommended mercy.
