According to the story told by Svabek
G0ndaletZ has been stopping with the CON-
rlainant for some time past, during which
time be has been out of employment and
without money. A few days since he
moved his belongings TO house few doors
up the street. Shortly after this Mrs.
Syabek missed her bankbook, which shows
credit of something over 5000 at the Ger
man Savings Bank, and Gondaletz was i'm
mediauely suspected as being the thief and
warrant sworn out for his arrest.
From information gained by Officers At.
kinsOn and Cronin, who had the case in
charge, 1t was learned that the prisoner
presented the book at the bank and de.
manded the money, representing himself as
the husband Of the depOsitor. The cashier,
not knowing him, requested him to lave
his wife come down. to which he replied
that his wife was sick.
The cashier then told him to have himself
identified within ten days and the money
would be at his disposal.
When arrested Gondaletz had in his nos
session SIS and two nickel watches, and
when asked where he got them took refuge
behind the assertion that he could not talb
