Company OF Chicago. AS early as last De-
cember Flaisig made his first move toward
leaving the city and his creditors by at
tempting, during his partners absence, to
DISPOSE of oil the goods for cash. Mr.. Flai-
sig's proceedings did not excite suspicion
until early in May. Mr. Bauman was ab-
sent down the sound, and Flaisg seems to
have seized the opportunity to clear out the
stock and take his departure.
The company got wind OF trouble and
sent out Mr.. Ludwig, an agent, who ar
rived the very day Flaisig left An exam-
ination showed that Flaislg had made a
clean sweep of everything OF value, and
raised money on it and borrowed money
on fictitious securities. Since that time
