AGENT AT BLACKSHEAR
HELD UNDER BOND.
Blaokshear, Ga., July 15—J.
O. Tillery, who was for a number.
~f years agent for tlie Atlantic !
Coast Line, was on yesterday
checked short m his accounts, it
is charged, and was arrested on
a warrant sworn out by Mr. Me-
Oaig, station accountant. upon
the technical charge of larceny
after trust. During the night he
gave $2,000 bond. A discrepancy
in the accounts, it is said, was
discovered last week, and Tillery, !
accompanied by Auditor Farmer,
went over into South Carolina in
an effort to adjust, matters, re
turning to Blackshear Tuesdnv,
night, having failed, so it is said,
in the accomplishment of his pur
pose.
Early yesterday morning Til
lery’s dwelling was found to be
on lire, but the fire was too iur
advanced when the alarm was
Bounded to save the building, and
it, was quickly consumed with its
contents. There was $1?,000 in
surance on building and contents.
A great, deal of sympathy is felt
for Tillery, who has been very
popular lu*re and who lias a great
many friends. He says t hat lie j
will be able to clear himself of
the charge against him.
No preliminary trial will be
held. The railroad eompany
shows no desire to unduly press
f ile mat ter since Tillery is confi
dent that he will arrange the mat- j
ter satisfactorily. The apparent
shortage amounts to nearly $4,000.
How long the shortage has exist
ed is not known, and it is under
stood to have been kept covered
by a system of “kiteing.”
