no new light upon the matter but served
to further clear up the conversations with

agreed to take Harry b. Seybold back
into the bank in case everything was
settled up satisfactorily, and he gave an
indemnifying bond.
Col Arnett then recalled Mr.. Friesmuth
and asked him few questions, which
developed the information that Mr.. ID. T.

Harry b. Seybold took out of the bank by
the back way, until yesterday.
