GOFF AGAIN
IN CUSTODY.
The Fugitive Sewing Machine Agent
Arrested, at Reading.
NOW IN POTTSVILLE JAIL.
Where the Embezzler Went After He
Made His Escape From Town
Last Month.
John W. Goft; the young man who was
omployed as agent for the Singer Sewing
Machine Company at Tamaqua and who
was a fngltlvo from justice for n month
past, was yesterday arrested at Heading
by Constable Thomas Tosh and brought
to town. After a hearing before Justice
Dangler ho was committed for trial In de
fault of $1,000 ball and this morning was
taken down to the Pottsvllle jail.
While acting as agent for the company
God succeeded in embezzling a sum
amounting to considerably over $500.
Goft was arrested In tho latter part of
October, last, by Constablo Tosh, at
Tamaqua. lie was brought here and
Tosh allowed the prisoner to sleep In his
house on the night of the arrival after
Bnme persuasion. It was considered n
pity to put the man In tho lockup especially
as the prisoner showed no disposition to
escape. At an early hour tho next morn
ing Goff glided out of the constable's
house and succeeded in making his escape.
A hot chase was at once Inaugurated
and steps were taken to place a closo
watch upon all places where It was
thought the fugitive was likely to go.
God escaped from town to Mahanoy
Plane. At that place he boarded a freight
train and rode to Sunbury. From there
he went to Harrisburg and then back to
Sunbury. He was restless and returned
to Tamaqua. After disguising himself
he secured board at a hotel In Ilometown,
a few miles from Tamaqua, and remained
there several days. Then he went to
Heading and when arrested there yester-
duy was at work In the carpenter depart
nient of the National Nut uridTJolt'WorEs,
GoU did not manifest any surprise when
Constable Tosh and Mr. C. J. Qnlun, of
town, who Is the Singer Sewing Machine
Company'n general agent, walked into the
shop and expressed perfect willingness to
accompany the officer back to Shenandoah
Tosh was unwilling to assume a second
risk and he brought the prisoner back
without delay, not even allowing God to
change his clothing. When before Jus
ilco Dengler the prisoner had little tosay,
He admitted the charge of embezzlement
and said he had spent all the mouey on
his wife and two children. Ho made this
statement at the time of hl3 previous ar
rest nnd the wife contradicted It.
The accused man is 32 years of ago, but
looks considerably younger. He Is a short,
light built man with quick step and
generally nervous action. He married
the daughter of a very wealthy resident
of Atlantic City, N. J., and effurts have
reoently been made to get his father-in
law to intercede iu making a settlement
with tho Singer company, but they failed
tho gentleman refusing to have anything
to do with his son-in-law. Golf's wife and
children lived in Tamaqua up to tho time
of the first arrest, but are now In Heading.
Golf whs a nail maker by trade nnd
orlginnlly came from Northumberland,
Northumberland county. Ho moved from
that place to Mahanoy City irud then
went to Tamaqua, where he secured a
sewing machine agency under Mr. Qutun.
There Is apparently no sympathy for him,
as the olrcumstances Indicate that ho In
tended defrauding the company from the
start. His Imprisonment is a foregone
conclusion.
In speaking of the oase to day Mr. C. J.
Qillnn said, "We don't want any publiolty
iu this matter and don't wUb to add
anything to this man's disgrace. Yon
newspaper men have some kuaok that 1
know nothing about for getting news,
but since you know im much as you do
let me say that no one loses any money
by this man but our company. The
people who hold maohines do not lose a
cant. God was our regular agent and we
are the lowers. 1 don't want the Impres
sion to go out that the Singer Sewing Ma
chine men are dishonest. Tho men in our
employ will compare with any like num
ber of men in the employ of any other
concern In Pennsylvania. A man must
be honest and of good moral character to
be In the employ of the Singer Manufac
turing U uiipany. It has no room for
cro ks, blackguards, or drones, and woe to
the man who attempts to swindle It."

is certainly not good taste for the
oilmen to claim that the proceedings

ofjhe proceedings to out-of-town news-

ting on Monday night and a Herald
rtsr was told there was nothing for
Itcatlon, yet an out-of-town paper for
ich a relative of one of the Council-
n is a correspondent was given a de

nt the meetings all Councllmen should
required to observe it, but if the news-

to the vicinity and after a hard fight with
a Hue of hoso used at the breaker they
succeeded In confining tho flames to tho
