CHICAGO, Dec. 19.-Samuef- G. SeeIey,
the absconding bookkeoper Of the National
Shoe and Leather bank Of New York, Is
safe behind the bars of cell in Harrison
street police station. The police never
since he was first arrested entertained
doubt OF the \ hentity of the man, but his
calm demeanDr and his cool and positive
denials that be was Seeley had begun to
make them anxious to secure somebody
who could say definitely whether he was
or was not the man wanted.
When the officers offered to send for
anybody in this city or elsewhere
by whom he could be identified as
Frank J. Dale, the man ho claimed to be,
he could not give the name of any person
In any other part of the country who
would identity him as Dale. When he
made the dec laration he was informed that
the police knew him to be Seeley and there
was no further necessity Of talking over
the matter
After being told this Seeley wns taken
below and locked up. He stood the con-
nnement for about an hour, and at about
ii o'clock he sent word to Inspector Shea
and Lieutenant Haas that he would like
TO sec them for an interview. Ten min
utes later he confessed he was the man
they wanted, and stated no was anxious
for them to hurry the arrangements to
take him back to New York.
He was trembling and filled with ner-
vous excitement when brought to the in
spector's private office. The inspector
asked him what he wanted.
"Ali want to say; gentleman, Is that
You have the right man. There Ia no use
oil my attempting to conceal it any longer.
am Samuel G. Seeley, and am the man
wanted in New York"
Nothing more was said until the pris-
oner spoke again and said he was ready to
go back to New York as soon as the Of
llcers could arrange 1t. He said further
That he would make no effort to gain his
release from the Chicago officers and did
not want ah attorney, but preferred to
walt until he reached New York, when he
could consult his own attorney.
United States Marshal Arnold was noti.
fled by Telegraph that federal officers and
the representatives of the bank had started
Tor Chicago. Sceley will also be held un-
der United States process.
II. Il. MacFarland, who gave the infor-
nation leading to Seeley' arrest, said that
the latter, after confessing his identity,
talked freely about his connection with
the Shoe and Leather bank. He said that
he had been a dupe for Baker, and that he
had received but 600 in the nine years
during which the bank had suffered losses,
Baker, he said, got all tho rest Of the
money
