Wliolenale thefts, amounting It Is es
timatrd, to approximately $40,000 In
th' paat two yeara, from Ji'lelschner,
Mayer & Company were disclosed this
morning a the result of an lnvestlga
tlon which has been in progress for
th past' month under the direction of
OonstabU Wcinbergqr.
Al Howard, head stockman for the
company, who has been In Its employ
for SO years, la In jalL Harry Estea,
employed In the receiving room and an
employ of JO years standing, is out
on bonds; Alex CJevurts, proprietor of
the Foster hotel. Is out on $5000 bonds:
Ed Tord, of Ford's Auction house, H.
GMckrnan, a second hand dealer, Jake
Joseph nd Bob Laetherwood are In
Jail and K. I Settle, of Oakland, Or.,
may be arrested today as the result of
the exposure.
Confessions have been made by all
but Ford, Settle and Howard,' but
these have made some admissions. It
is said. Kntes and Howard are clferged
with larceny while the others are
charged with receiving stolen prop
erty. Confession Is Mad.
Tt Is charged that Kstes and How
ard worked together to get towels,
ttable linen and pillow slips away
from tbe company's place of business,
that , Laethcrwood and Joseph arranged
, with dealers to receivB the stuff and
1 that Qlickman, Ford, Gevurta and
Bottle received and disposed of tbe
"goods; Ooods valued at about $6f)0
have been recovered from Ford's place.
$400 from the Foster hotel and 1200
from Gllckman's store. Search of
Ford's store Is being made for more
today. His store is said to have been
the main distributing point.
Kstes. has confessed, his part of the
affair and admitted that he secured $2
.a dozen for all sheets furniahecl and
- 40 cents a dozen for all towels ' and
pillow slips. Howard' sharo of the
proceeds is not known and the extent
of his connection with the matter has
not been definitely fixed, but the con
cessions rebelved are said to have
shown that he knew that tbe thievery
was going on and that he had given
. Estes a "fake" requisition for two
cases of linen from the warehouse.
Ooods Are Identified.
Settle runs a poolroom and shooting
gallery at Oakland! and Deputy Consta
ble McCullough went after him this
morning armed with authority to
search his place for stolen goods. The
goods already recovered have been
Identified In the greater part as those
handled by . Flelschner, Mayer & Co.,
exclusively. .
The first "tip" was received that
the stealing was going on about
month ago and Constable Weinberger
put a private man on the case. Wagons
, from Flelschner, Mayer & Co. were
. found to be leaving packages at the
Olds, Wortman & King store and the
drivers failed to secure receipts. It
was at first suspected that employes
of the latter store were working with
the others. Bert A. Whiting, entry
clerk of the latter store, was arrested
and confessed to thefts from his em
ployers but no connection was found
between his thefts and the Flelshner,
Mayer Co. case.
Bonds Put at 15000.
When about two weeks ago Con
stable Weinberger tcld officials of the
company that their employes were
stealing they laughed at the Implica
tion and even as late as last night
could hardly credit the news. They
had never suspected that anything of
- that character was In progress. Max
Flelschner, one of the members of the
firm, and Nathan Strauss, Buperln
tendent of - the company, were taken
Into the. confidence of the constable
and gave' what assistance was possible.
When the men Involved were ar
rested last night they were: taken to
', i ..Constable Weinberger's office and
Weinberger, Deputy Nicholson and
Deputy . District Attorney Roblson be
gan to question them, finally securing
confessions. Bonds for each have been
placed at $5000, with ball at $2500.
Kfforts are being made to secure, bail
for all this morning. ,
