CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT

Mart Reynolds, Well Known Clerk

POCKETED SALES RECEIPT

Marked Money Was in Cash Paid Him - A Great Surprise to His Friends

Mart Reynolds, a debonair salesman for Wadhams, Ryan & Reule, is locked up at the county jail on the charge of embezzlement from his employers. He was caught Monday night by a $3 purchase after hours, paid for with a silver dollar and two marked dollar bills. He pocketed the money. He was taken in custody by the sheriff's late at night and spent the night in jail. He acknowledged the one theft and one other one. About a year or so ago he was up for the same offense, but it was settled for $1000, the value of the goods he thought he had sold without turning over the proceeds, without publicity or appealing to to the law and with many promises of reformation.

Reyonlds has had a wide circle of friends in Saline, from whence he came, and in Ann Arbor, where he has been some years. His habits were expensive beyond his income.
