Show UNMASKED AT LAST. A Now York salesman has just confessed con-fessed that for the last teu years he has been systematically robbing the clothing firm for which he worked, and that he hail carried oft goods worth ' between $511,000 and $75,000. Tho clothing cloth-ing stolen was sold at half its value aud the proceeds lost in Wall street, where the unlucky thief hoped to make a fortune for-tune and give up robbing his employers. employ-ers. It is somewhat remarkable that the salesman should have been able to escape detection for so many years, but it is worthy of note that he was caught at last anil must now pay the penalty for his crimes. As the pitcher that goes often to the well is broken at last, so the young man who departs from the straight and narrow path of honesty is sure to come to grief. There does not seem to be any escape. It was quite natural that the money secured by the sale of the stolen clothing should have found its way into Wall street, where small sums, amounting to millions in the aggregate, ag-gregate, are annually lost by the little fit-h who yearn to swim in a large pool. Many a man has gone to the penitentiary peniten-tiary by -the Wall street route. |
