Embezzlement charge lands August Muhler in Allen county jail
August T Muhler, longtime Fort Wayne bookkeeper for Eckart & Co, is jailed in Allen county on an embezzlement count after authorities traced 1300 to 1500 dollars missing from the pork firm. Sheriff Melching brought Muhler from Omaha to face the charge, with Muhler claiming financial troubles and planning to settle the matter. Muhler’s wife Lizzie Craft, later identified as his spouse by a justice of the peace, accompanied him to the jail scene and was distraught. Authorities note possible related charges while Eckart firm seeks settlement and forgoes prosecution if conditions allow.
