A Case Under the New Penal Code.


C. B. Hookan [sic] was arraigned this morning before Justice Naeher on complaint of Julius Landauer [sic], a cigar dealer at No. 337 East Fiftieth street, New York, who charged that recently while Hookan was employed by him as an agent, he collected about $100 from various customers and appropriated the money to his own use.
