VAN BUREN OF KINGSTON N. J. HANDS IN RESIGNATION Detective Him Salt Lake Walter W. Sharp, 18 years of age, bookkeeper, confessed to the theft of I IO.L'00 from the Western Loan and Building company of Salt Luk, while in its employ aVd was placed under arrest Friday. He is also said to have confessed to fal sifyiri the coftipuny cooks to the ex tent of $7."00 at a lavr date. ,A1I of the plunder vsith the exception of about ?2000 has been recovered. Detectives Roy Larson and John' Biirbidge found $2000 of the stolen gold beneath the porch of Sharp's home in Bountiful Thursday. "I do not want to discuss the matter," said Sharp Friday. "I will mke a complete statement of how I handled the affair when company officials and the chief of police are present. Just now all I will say is that I took the money." The robbery of the company's vault and safe, which took place January 21, attracted much attention. The vault was protected by a strong combination and the safe in its interior was protected by a time lock. On January 21 Sharp reported to the police and to his employers that on coining to work he discovered the vault and safe open and the gold missing. The proprietor of a rooming house above the bank said he had seen a man working about the vault the previous night, but believed him to be one of the employees and had not reported the matter to the police. Sharp was placed under arrest a short time after the robbery upon suspicion of having committeed the crime, but stoutly declared his innocence. He is a clean cut, intelligent looking youth and made a very favorable impression on all with whom he came in contact. No evidence having been discovered to connect him with the crime he was released. Eight thousand dollars of the missing nioney was in gold. Several weeks after Sharp's release. Chief of Police Burbldge received an anonymous letter from Ogden saying that if he would search in a certain place in the Western Loan company's office he would find something of interest. The chief followed instruct'ons and turned up 54200 of the missing gold. P. W. Madsen, president of the company, had in the meantime reinstated Sharp and placed full trust and confidence in him as bookkeeper. On June 4 several false entries were discovered In the company hooks. It appeared as if someone hod made the entries with the purpose of taking r(0 and covering the loss with fake entries. The police were informed and Chief of Detectives Uiley M. Beckstead ase signed Detectives Larson and to again engage in an Investigation of the case. Suspicion pointed to Sharp. The bookkeeper left the Western Loan Company last Monday and secured a position with a local hank. He was confronted with the new evidence in the case and made a confession at once. He told the police where they might recover the gold at his home. Although he has been plac- Bur-dldg- SIMS PUBLICLY REPRIMANDED of Navy Takes Action and Denonces Naval Office Washington.
