Story from Real Life That Points a Decided IMoial. from the Senile I'ot Intelligence. After a chase extending across the continent and Into the wilds of Alaska, occuplng a period of more than three eais, A. T Scott, a fugitive from Justice and ajlleged embezzler, w.ib ves terday captured In this city and given Into the hands of the persons whose peislstenre was finally rewarded. Scott Is wanted at Dubuque. Iowa, for em bezllng a large sum of money fiom the Great Western railway. The clrcumntances surrounding Scott's dow nfall border upon the sensa tional He Us a member of a promin ent and wealthy family In Dubuque, wheie his father conducts a large mercantile establishment. Scott, who Is 40 ;, ears old, seemed a position as book keeper for the ("treat Western railway, and all went well until he met and be came infatuated with handsome Angle Motsch, a biunette about 22 yars of age. It vvas a merry, fast life he led, which soon made seilous Inroads upon his compaiatlvely modest Income. His salary proved Inadequate to the de- manna on nis purse, and ne ciiti as many others have done. Finally the piv for striking a trial balance came. His accounts were In a tangle, nnd in desperation he (led, taking with him Ml-s Angl Motsch. The dlsappeaiance of Scott nnd Miss Motsch from Dubuque, where both families weie highly Influential, caused a sensation Officials of the Great Western had caused his accounts to be experted with the icsult that a wanant charging the bookkeeper with embezzlement of n considerable sum of money was sworn out. The case was taken In chaige by the American Bonding and Trust compiny. which concein vvas Scott's surety, and the eha.se began Plnkcrton detectives seaiched all the eastern cities, but no trace of the missing couple was found rimlly the man was located In this cltv, but owing to lack of convincing pioofs of identity, he vvas not arrested lor a time. This was in June. 1SD8 A detective was kept on Scott's trail ponding the arrival of a man who could make the Identification positive. One day Scott detected the shadow er and made hasty preparation to take tho train. His arrest followed Immediately but owing to the delay in communi cating the fact Scott was able to obtain his liberty before a. pioperly certified warrant could he sent heic. He Immediately disappeared, but Intent upon making an example for othcis, the bonding company Instiucted Its agents to continue tho seaich, which ended jesteidny nfter moie than thiee cats' constant seaich on tho pa-rt of tho victimized concern. Scott oavs that nftci he left Dubuque tho voung woman lemnlncd with him until his funds had become exhausted, when sho deseited him for all time. He went to Alaska In an attempt to wiest a fortune from tho fioen soil, and nfter arjlng experiences extending over a period of nearly three years, returned to this city, only to be Piomptly nt rested and this time de llveied Into the custody of the concern which has spent several times the amount which he Is alleged to have embezzled In an effort to make an example of the young bookkeeper who Is accused of having betrayed his trust.
