[dognose]

No further arrests have been made as a result of the discovery a fortnight ago that gold clippings were being pilfered from the goldsmithing department of the Bailey, Banks & Biddle Co. than that of Abraham Lawrence, who was accused by Edward Williams, head of the department, with the theft of $500 worth of gold. Lawrence is awaiting trial on the charge. The clippings were from medal shavings, and there appears to be little reason to expect that any other employes will be involved or a conspiracy unearthed.
