allow the officers To enter. The girl also
added her protest to those Of the woman.

CLAD IN PErTIcoATs,
The Dsfaultlng Cashier of Warren
Skips the Town,
APPARENTLY BY POLICE AID
A Romance Connected With the Case
Specializing TO Amass a Fortune
on Which to Marry A
Tremendous Sensation.

YOUNGSTOWN, o., August 19.-The failure
OF the Second National Bank of Warren,
telegraphed abroad Friday night, has cre-
ated tremendous sensation in this section.
h. W. Fitch, the defaulting cashier, who is
short anywhere from $4,000 to 800 900,
remained at his home last night unmolest-
ed. Yesterday morning at an early hour
Deputy United States Marshal 0'Dell, of
Cleveland, was telegraphed to go to War
rem and arrest Fitch. He left last night,
arriving at Warren this morning. He at
once
Proceeded to Make the Arrest,
but was deferred by the directors OF the
bank and local authorities, who informed
him that they desired the proceedings to
be taken by State officers. 0'Dell was
further informed that Fitch was too sick to
be removed from his bed. Thus discour-
sged O'Dell became disgusted and returned
10 Cleveland after notifying the chief of
police of Warren to make the arrest with
out fail. How he neglected his orders and
allowed the cashier to slip through the
fingers OF his men will be seen from the fol-
lowing Shortly before noon Fitch left
his house
AttIred In WOman's Clothes,
and taking a horse and covered buggy
made good his escape, driving out of town
nOrthward toward Cleveland. This after
noon City Marshal Parker, of Warren,
telegraphed the Cleveland police authOri.
ties that Fitch had escaped, and that he
should be arrested if found in Cleveland
The telegram give minute description OF
the man.
Fitch is about forty years Of age. lie is
unmarried, and for six years past he has
been keeping company with q sister Of
Senator Perkins, the Warren millionaire.
1t is said they were to be married this fall.
A friend Of the family said tonight that
Fitch had
postponed the wedding
from time to time, until he could amass a
fortune sufficiently large to keep ihis in
tended wife in that eXtravagant style to
which she has been accustomed. He lost
heavily, and after sinking his own funds
used those Of the bank, and also the money
OF several outside parties.
Fitch has been living with his mother
and sister, in the old family mansion, on
Mahoning avenue, which is the most fash
ionable thOrOughfare of Warren. His
father, Boss" Fitch who died some years
ago, WAS
A Shrewd SpecuIator and Able Finan-
eier.
Young Fitch was given a clerkship in
the old Trumbull National Bank, and grew
with that institution, and when the bank
was merged into the Second National
Bank, with a capital stock of 800, 900, Fitch
was made cashier, his bond being fixed at
$4,000. He was looked upon as most
successful business man. He and his
family moved in the best circles of War
rem society, and the case is creating the
biggest excitement known In Warren in
the past ten years.
