Mrs. Zidan, who authorities said signed a statement that she took the money, remarked afterward: I I don t know why I did it. I didn't want to do it, but I got started and couldn't quit." She was employed by the Den ver Discount Co. and Allied Cred it Corp., a joint firm. She had worked for the company 10 years. Her salary was S240 a month. After arraignment, she was re leased under $2,500 bond. Ray Humphreys, an investiga-l tor for the district attorney's of fice, disclosed the following details: Mrs. Zidan admitted taking $48,- 000 to $50,000 at the rate of $10,000 a year until last month, when a fellow employe questioned her records. To inquiries concerning what she did with the money the cash ier replied: "Mismanagement, I guess. I don t know where It went myself." She said she owes a $13,000 mortgage on her home, others on two cars. "Quite a bit of the money went toward caring for my husband, but not all of it," she said. "He's been in the hospital -or sanitarium- 11 times in the past three years." Her husband John, 40, operates a west Denver gas station. Mrs. Zidan told investigators she took money from the cash drawer and replaced it with checks received in the mail as home mortgage payments. She said familiarity with the opera tions of auditors enabled her to adjust her accounts before the books were checked.

I cried. "Not yet," said the elf. "We still have time." But I knew he was only trying to cheer me up and he didn't really have much hope left. I tried to be brave, too, and not notice my hand. The three of us sat there and waited and waited. Finally, the witch said in a whisper, "He comes! Listen!" Heard Faraway Sound I listened and. sure enough, I shoe. Five-Firm Bid Lowest on Ice Harbor.
