Another postponement was granted last week in the case of John B. Brosseau, accused of stealing from Tiffany & Co., by padding the payrolls of the workshop, of which he was long the foreman. The delay was at the request of the defendant's counsel, and Magistrate Wahle said that the case must be heard to-morrow. It is understood that the company has refused an offer made in behalf of Brosseau to make a cash payment in restitution. As the issue is of a criminal character it cannot be settled without the consent of the court, and it is said that the members of the company do not desire a settlement.

Foreman in Tiffany & Co.’s Factory Pleads Guilty to Three Charges of Grand Larceny
Guilty, was the plea entered Monday by John D. Brosseau, foreman in Tiffany & Co.’s factory, who stole from his employers for several years past by padding the pay rolls. The plea was entered to three indictments, charging him with grand larceny, before Judge Foster of the Court of General Sessions, New York. Ralph M. Hyde, the company’s superintendent, said that the concern was not desirous of pressing for a sentence to imprisonment. The Judge announced that the sentence will be delivered on Saturday. The maximum term is 15 years’ imprisonment.
An account of Brosseau’s arrest was published in The Circular-Weekly of May 9. It has been said that in each of the last two years he took about $5,000. His method, as already explained, was to draw upon the cashier for larger sums than he actually paid to the men entrusted to his charge and to pocket the difference.
When Brosseau was first arraigned he declared that he had not gambled nor spent the money in dissipation. He intimated that sickness and other troubles of the members of his family had been responsible for his expending large amounts in excess of his income. In the last week one of the papers has published an article charging that he had really lost large sums of money in a gambling house near his home.

Tiffany & Co. last week advertised a reward of $1,000 for the return of a missing diamond ring. No name was mentioned, but it was learned later that the ring had been found on the lawn of the owner, Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney, near Westbury, L. I., and was returned to her.

A life-size bronze statue by Fernando Miranda, on exhibition at the Fifth Ave. salesrooms of Tiffany & Co., has attracted considerable attention during the past week. "The Primitive Marksman," as the work is called, shows an Indian holding an immense bow against his feet and aiming, while in a reclining position, at an imaginary soaring eagle.
