CATCH FUGITIVE BROKER.
Albert P. Miller, Jr, Found in Boston
Hotel.

Boston, Jan. l0.--Albert p Miller, jrr
an investment broker, of Providence, r
l., wanted on a charge of embezzlement
of more than 100000, was arrested
Saturday. Miller was arrested as flu
gitive from justice on the specific charge
of the larceny of 81 shares of stock,
valued at 1895 from the estate of
Mary C. Ormsbee of Providence, Police
circulars sent out from Providence Fri
day, however, stated that the amount
of alleged embezzlement would exceed
$500. 900.
Miller waived extradition and was
taken TO Providence by police officers
from that city Miller was last seen at
his Office on December 10, but while his
disappearance caused some surprise, his
business reputation was such that no
steps were taken to locate him until
few days ago, when it is alleged the ex-
eeutors of an estate were unable to OBJ
tain an accounting of certain property in
his care.
He had many clients, among them
being the estate of the late William
Andrews, estimated at S250000. His
clients included men and women in all
walks of life and since the warrant was
issued for his arrest the police have been
besieged by persons holding alleged
claims Miller was well known socially.
He was a yestryman in st. Stephens
Episcopal church in Providence
Miller was arrested while still in bed
in a room in a back bay hotel which
he is said to have engaged two days
before He had nothing to say. The
broker. who is 4s years Of age, took his
arrest calmly, but appeared fstigued.
