sent q package of $50, 600 to the Whit
ney National Bank of New Orleans.
The money went by way of ST. Louis, a
rather round about way. When the
package vas opened by the bank it was
found to be short $4,000. Detectives
Immediately began operations. They
were at first inclined to think the
theft occurred between New York and
ST. Louis. Finally Pinkerton himself
took up the case, and the result OF his
investigation is the arrest OF A. G.
Guerney, money clerk in New Orleans,
who stands charged with the theft.

Carleton Hotel, in Jacksonville, Fla,

the clerk for ~safe-keeping in the hotel
safe. Reeder did not show up the next
morning and the theft was soon dis
covered. MIR Humphrey is a wealthy
lawyer of Tacoma, Washington, and has
been in Florida q little over q week
for his health, confined to his bed most
of the time. Reeder is about % years
