Every effort has been made by
Cardinal Gasparri as cardinal Gamer

clave Immediately. His presence in

ALLEGED EMBEZZLER
RETURNED TOFACE
ACCUSERS HERE
B. F. Miller Ayyaigned Before
Justice Mayfield on Charge
of 5000 Shortage
Sheriff ApplestiH Found the
Alleged Fugitive Hiding in
Beaumont, Tex. t.,

B. F. Miller, formerly bookkeeper
in the Southern Trust and Commefce
Bank, faced his accusers in Justice
court today when he was returned
from Beaumont, Texas, where it is
asserted he fled, to be arraigned be-
fore Justice Of the Peace Mayfield.
Miller is charged with embezzle-
ment. Accusations against him point
to shortages in his accounts said to
be between $4,000 and $500. = {..
Deputy Sheriff Sam T. Griffin re-
turned with Miller in custody last
night and lodged the prisoner in the
county Jail. Back Of that lies an un-
usual story of countrywide search
for the alleged embezzler, extending
over months time and thousands of
miles.
Following discovery of Miller's as
serted defalcations, both the bank Of
ficials and officers of the Fidelity
Bonding Company Of Maryland, pro-
tecting the bank against losses, mott
fled Sheriff Applestill. Search for
the accused fugitive was at once in
stituted. The strongest clew to his
whereabouts pointed to San Diego,
where the mans wife then lived.
Applestill hurried to the coast city
and began shadowing the wife's
home. But no Miller showed up. 7 he
mails were likewise watched for COR
respondence between Miller and his
wife. At length a letter arrived from
Texas. 1t was signed by another
name. Seized, however, by Sheriff
Applestill, the handwriting was COM
pared to the bookkeeper's and found
TO tally. Telegraphic instructions to
Beaumont resulted in the mans ar
rest.
Miller denies his guilt, according to
Deputy Sheriff Griffin. According
TO Griffin, Miller had been working
as motorman for the Beaumont
street railway company. Known there
previous to his residence in Ell Cen
tro, he could not change his name,
Griffin said, but had changed his
initials.
Griffin AYERS that Miller denied at
first he was the right man, but later
retired from that position and stout
ly maintained his innocence of the
embeZzlements.
