Embezzlement at an Abyssinian " Gold " Jewelry Store. — Charles Redfern, manager to one of the above stores in Newcastle, was recently sentenced to six weeks' hard labor for selling goods at an increase upon their market prices, and appropriating the difference. A private detective was employed to purchase certain articles and to receive invoices for them ; upon these being compared with the book entries, discrepancies were found. When apprehended, the prisoner pointed to some money in the safe which he said he was " over" in the accounts. A youth who had shared the proceeds with him having turned witness against him, prisoner pleaded guilty, urging the great difficulty of keeping his mother, wife, and four children upon £2 a week, and remarking that " all did it," a statement which the London manager denied.
