To the Western Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1.-THE papers tomorrow
morning will publish the particulars of de-
falcation by Charles W. Angel, secretary of the
Pullman Palace Car company. From an inter
view with Mr.. Pullman tonight, the following
facts are learned: Mr.. Angel is man 40 years
of age, agreeable in manner and exceedingly
competent for the position he occupied. His
social relations have until recently, it is be-
ieved, been of the very best character, and by
years of good conduct he has won the entire
confidence of the company and of his associ-
ates in business. About three wears
ago his wife died, leaving two infant
children. The loss seemed for time
to impair his mental and phyeical
health, but lately he has been gradually recov-
ering good spirits. But having suffered dur
ing the past winter disappointment in some so
cial affairs, it now transpires that he fell into
DIsREPUTABIE ASSOCIATIONS
which, however, were unknown even to his in
time for his summer vacation he proposed to
meet Mr.. Pullman in New York, as he (Mr.
Pullman) was about returning from Europe.
and started East with that avowed purpose.
MIR. Pullman reached New York by steamer on
the 7th inst, and as Mr.. Angel did not appear
for a day or two, became anxious
regarding him, and dispatched
Angeles brother to Saratoga and other
places where he intended visiting. Nothing
has been learned of his whereabouts no to this
date. The fact that Angel left no address or
communication in Chicago excited comment
here, and caused Mr.. Pullman to hasten home
and institute thorough examination. This
developed the fact that Angel had disappeared
with funds and securities of the company The
amount taken, although considerable, is not
sufficient to occasion the company any en-
barrassment, nor to interfere with it's regular
business or dividends. The possible maximum
of loss sustained is
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

company which were in his custody as secretary
The money he drew out of bank was upon two
checks of 1926, 900 each. He representing to the
company's cashier that he was sending It to the
company in New York, and that proper vouch-
ers would be returned, thus evading or over
riding the custom of the Office which required
vouchers to accompany every payment of mon
ey. So great was the confidence reposed in his
honor and integrity that this action created no
uneasiness until his

possible he has converted the securities and

rope. The company is taking most vigorous
measures for Mr. Angels apprehension and
propose, if possible, to recover the finds and
securities abstracted by him, but for obvious
reasons the measures adopted cannot be made
public.
