Larrabee explains: He proposes to repay the money he embezzled. William
E. Larrabee of Oyster Bay, who was said to have embezzled a sum of money from
James H. Ludlam, a merchant in the same village, told an Eagle reporter this
afternoon that Mr. Ludlam had charged him with appropriating the sum of about
$200 which Mr. Larrabee admitted, and promised to refund in money by
installments. He says that at the time he left Oyster Bay he told Mr. Ludlam of
it and left his future address with the merchant, so that he could be found if
needed. He has not made any payment in settlement of the claim yet, but is to do
so Saturday next. Mr. Larrabee is at present residing in Douglass street, this
