The Detroit police have just discovered an unusual defalcation by an employee of the Ford Motor Company and obtained the confession of a timekeeper who stole for the purpose of maintaining deserving boys at the university. The defalcations total 10,000 dollars. The time-keeper came to know two students who worked in the lord plant in summer-ti-ne. They declared lack cf money during the term would keep them from the university. He took their cards and continued to claim their pay weekly, which he forwarded to them. The theft was successful and he therefore obtained the time cards of nine other men who had left their employment in the Ford works, and drew their weekly pay, which ho also partly appropriated to his own use.
