Ankles office Thursday night, and the
fact that Mr.. Henry X, List, one OF the
owners Of the bank, went on Hennig's
bail bond for $1,000 shows how thor
oughly ha and his associates were salts
fed that he was entirely innocent,
In addition to THIS, Mr.. List sent for.AIf,
Hennig yesterday morning and compli'
mented him highly on his straight
forward behavior In the matter,
Doubtless his preliminary examination
before Squire Arkle at 10 q, IN. to-day
will result in his honorable acquittal.
Indeed, 1t 10 considered a mere matter oil
form.

After the investigation OF the matter
was concluded at an early hour yester-
day morning, Seybold was committed to

he remained until about four o'clock
yesterday afternoon, when he was re-
leased on bail In the sum Of $1,000, the
bond being reduced by Squire Arkle In
consideration OF the fact that he had
made restitution OF all the money he
had stolen, or nearly all. His father,
Mr.. Joseph Seybold, became hIsbonds.
man.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. seybold,
Sn, who'is almost heartbrOken over the
affair, went to the county jail, accom-.
panied by Mr.. Henry K. List, to see his
son. Harry did not seem at that hmeto
be seriously affected, but when he was
at Squire Ankles office signing the bail
bond with his father, he remarked that
he was glad that the exposure had been
made, for now he would have some
peace OF mind. He said he had suffer
ed hell" more because innocent people
were suspected than because OF his own
guilt. lie expressed his determination
tostay here and take the consequences,sc'
rious as they might DO, aud said no pun
ishment to come could equal what he
had already undergone.
MRS. %sRYBoLp's SORROW.
The wife OF the guilty young man sui.
fers much, in common with his parents.
Those who had an opportunity to OBJ.
serve her conduct when madeacquainted
with Harry's guilt, expressed high ad.
miration'for her heroic behavior. She
was evidently cat To the heart, but tried
To master her emotions. She was the
first to inform her husbands father OF
Harry's arrest and confession, going TO
tho home OF Mr.. Seybold, Sr., at 8 O'Clock
yesterday morning for this purpose.
She also called on Mr.. Hennig yester.
day to ask him about the case, but
wien she reached the drug store OF Mr..
Hennig's father, where he is employed,
her emotions and what she had ex.
perienCed in the night overCame her,
and she sank To the floor in swoon.
She was revived with difficulty.
II is now believed that It was due 10
Mrs. Seybold's discovery that her hus.
band had the money in the house, that
he Deposited 1t in bank after keeping II
about a month in the attic at his
home. One day she called him
from the attic. Later, after he had
left the house, she had occasion
to visit the attic, and found II locked.
When Harry returned home she asked
him for the key, and he said he had for
gotten and left 1t at the bank. The
next day, In his absence, she found the
attic key In o drawer,
MONEY ON THE FLOOR.
She went up into the attic, and was
surprised 10 find bills OF large 6enoml-
nations lying over the floor, where they
had been blown by the wind. When
Harry returned she asked him about
this money, aud he told her he had
drawn $4,000 In the Louisiana lottery,
aud did not like b tell her. He was
Counting 1t when she called him, and
left 1t lying where the wind scattered
abont. IT Is supposed that II was atthis
time that the money was placed in the
bank.
1t was stated yesterday on good au.
thority that the note from Mr.. Gross.

given seyhold In the bank, and he
counted the 5000 out to him over the
COUNTER In the presence Of all the bank
oE1ciala. This reckless conduct Is not

lately shown that the young man be.

Not long ago he said 10 1lT. D. @. List,

intimated anything Of the kind.p
This remark, without any occasion Tor

troubling him.
HOW he GOT THE MONEY.
There Is naturally a general curiosity
as 10 how young Seybold got the money.
His own story Is that on the day Of the
$4,000 robbery, about April 10, at the
close OF banking hours he locked the
safe and vault and pretended 10 set the
time lock, but did not really do 30.
After everybody had left the bank, he
returned, unlocked the vault, took the
money, and relocking the doors, set the
time lock for the usual hour tho next
morning, aud went home, When The
money was missed the next day, the
only suppositlon possible was that II had
been stolen before the close Of business
hours on the previous day.
On Thursday, after Capt. Doyerner's
return from New Orleans, when II was
morally certain that young Seybold was
the thief, MI. Gibson Lamb, one OF the
bank officials, mentionedin tho presence
Of the whole force the loBs Of thu money,
and proposed that each man surrender
his keys and allow the others 10 examine
