The whereabouts of Harry Luff, who is alleged to have poCketed ap- proXmately $1,200 entrusted to his care by fellow employees at the Cor bin Cabinet Lock plant for deposit in Christmas and vacation clubs. re- mained unknown to the police to- day Sergeant P. A. McAvay, who is in charge of the investigation, is without a clue, and Luffs wife, who lives apart from him in Ncwington, said she knew nothing of him and hoped he would be apprehcndcd.
 Living Beyond Means
 From information glcancd about the factory and office, and in New ington. the police believe that Luff had been living beyond his means for several months, and at the bank holding the accounts which are short it was learned that deposits which he was believed to have made had been practically negligible since February.

She has lost approximately $50 and her mother lost about $39 which was entrusted to Lufr. Others lost considerably more.

 Luff is about 4 years of age and was in the employ of the Corbn Cabinet Lock approximately 12 years. He was trusted implicitly by officials and employees at the plant, so much so that they never Qucs- toned his manner of looking after their accounts or suspected him in the least. The books in which the deposits were credited at the bank cannot be found, the police, upon searching Luff'S room at the Hotel Doris on Main street, finding none of his belongings. Up to this after noon the police had received no complaints against him and it was not known whether or not he had
