Son of Ex- Governor Waller Leaves the Long
Island Brick Company in the Lurch.

GREENPOINT, l.. l.. July 18.-Martin B.
Waller. the secretary and treasurer OF the
Long Island Brick Company. and son Ofex-
Governor Waller. of Connecticut, has dis
appeared, and it is reported that he has alb.
seconded with from $50, 600 to $780, coo of the
company's money. President Zaner refuses
to make any statement regarding the matter
beyond the fact that young Walters disap-
pearance is most mysterious affair. It
has been asserted that an expert has been
engaged to investigate the matter. The
shortage will not affect the standing of
the company at all. as all the stockholders
of the company are very wealthy and can
easily make UP the amount of the deficien-
cy. Ex- Governor Waller is a large stock
holder in the company, and is said to be
grief-stricken over the affair. No cause
has yet been assigned for young Walters
conduct. but it Is whispered that there is
woman in the case.
