II was positively stated to-day by one
who claimed to have. inside Information
that Bernard wenberger, the east-side
banker, is in Canada, whittier he was
taken by his friends 10 avoid possible

manager. is said 10 be In Canada. An
other brother-in-law, Unger. also II
banker, whose place is closed, is said
TO have been seen In Montreal.
, In spite of these statements the house
where weinberger lived, 225 East Tenth
street. is still being watched by ward
detective. Mrs. Weinberger, with her
three children. is living there, but is too
I'll TO see any one. 1t is said there that
nothing is known OF his whereabouts.
A letter received in this city yester-
day, and which Is now In possession OF
light on Weinberger's failure 1t indi-
Gates that the banker and ticket agent
did not visit Hamburg at all. 1t shows
him in the face, and that his brother who

avoid the violence of his victims that
Weinberger gave out that he was going

Lawyer Jawofower had forced an en-
trance into the closed banking offices.
several documents were found, among
them bearing an unsigned cable mes
sage which at the time seemed mex

"Will wait until Monday. If no cash
sent everything lost"
That message; Il now appears. was
sent by Karl Weinberser, the banker;
for money himself, The very day the
despatch was received Bernard Vein
berger disappeared from this city.
The letter which has come into Lawyer
Jaworower's possession says that three
days after the sending of the despatch

The cast-side Hebrews having relatives

bring out here. generally purchased their
tickets through peddler on the install

with Weiiherger at once received an
order or the Hamburg office, where 1t
was exchanged for ticket. If the full
amount was not paid before the date
OF sailing. however. the ticket was can

On scores of occasions the peddlers
defaulted, and as result many poor
people are now in Hamburg holding
Bernard Weinbcrgcrs order who cannot
get passage. All these will he sent over
by the police.
When Wenberger's Office was seized
here several thousand dollars worth of
railroad and steamship tickets were
found, all OF them being worth their face
value They were given to Weinberger
TO SELL but the companies did not trust
him until they had been secured by the
Fldc,ty and Casualty Company. After
the bankers disappearance the different
companies wanted the Casualty Company
to pay up 1t will do so as coon as the
tickets found are deducted from the total
unaccounted for.
