the store has been under close scrutiny for several months. Accord ing to Deters, Proulx's relatives in Holyoke have not been informed of his plight and are unaware that he is in trouble. An attempt was made by friends to secure bail for him last night, $500 being collected. Prosecu- ting Attorney Klett insisted upon bond of $1,50O.
 According to information in the possession of the authorities, Proulx Is believed to have mulcted the rail- road out of as much as $500 in . single month. After more than three hours grilling by the authorities, the accused is alleged to have signed confession in which he admits stealing the shoes from August 10, 1916 to the date of his arrest and expresses the belief that the sum total of the stolen property will amount to about $500. His employers believe that the amount will be double that figure and believe that nearly 200 pairs were appro- priated.
