ALTOONA, Pa, Aug. S-Street ru
mors this afternoon pointed to bank
md social scandal in this city Of no
mean proportions, and investigation
later on fully corroborated this and
makes the matter the one topic of
conversation here tonight
The man iu the case is Harry A.
Gardner, cashier of the Second National
bank but the woman is not 40 well
known, although she is said to be a
well-known and highly-connected resi-.
dent of Bellefonte. who has been living
at a hotel here for some time as the
mistress of the defaulting cashier.
H. A. Gardner, as is now known,
left the city on Monday night and it is
asserted that he woman accompanied
him. Bank Examiner Miller has been
in the city since Monday and has been
working on the books of the bank since
Tuesday afternoon, discovering it is
said, that Gardner has taken with him
in his flight at least $1,000 These
figures are trebled, however, by some
people, and the defalcation may be
much greater than is given out
The woman in the case went by the
name of Mrs Gordon. She also. it is
said. has a Philadelphia address, No

an interesting family aud before going
wrote his wife letter in which, among
other things he told her to kiss the
baby for him.
Until today the missing cashier en-
joyed the most implicit confidence of
the business community. He is II mem.
ber of the house furnishing firm of
Harry Wayne 81 Co., and his sudden
downfall has created general regret
and CONSERVATION. The bank officials
say that the bank is all right and the
general impression here is that it will

made ON it.
