A Big Reward on Later Advices
That SeeIey Will Not Surrender.

New York, Nov. 90.-SamueI C.
Seeley, the defauIting boolzkeeper of
the National Shoe and Leather bank.
will surrender himself to the federal
authorities within forty-eight hours at
the utmost, according to Charles H.
Pershal, the criminal lawyer of Jersey
City.
Mr.. PershaN, who is now interested
in the case, was interviewed at his
residence, On Bergen Heights, Jersey
City. He said:
'tSeeley will give himself up in at
least forty-eight hours. and perhaps
sooner"
HAS his bail been arranged?"
at has practically been fixed" was
Mr.. PershalIs answer.
How much bail viii be required :'
about $40, 000''
'.Will the bail be forthcoming?"
yes, it viii be given
Mr.. PershaM declined to say who
would come forward as bondsmen.
That was a private matter about which
ne said he was not at liberty to speak.
Where is Seeley?" Mr.. Pershall was
asked
Some Of the papers say he is in
Canada" replied Mr.. Pershall, with a
smile
Us he in Canada?"
Il think you can safely say he is not
and has not BEEN
rs he so far away that he cannot be
produced in New York in less than
Iforty-eight hours?"
No said Mr.. Pershall. "He is not
and has never been 100 miles away
from home. There, now, that is all I
can tell you. OF course 1t would not
do for me to indicate to you Just where
he isl
rs Seeley in Brooklyn?' %
"No, he is not"
rs he in New York City?"
''That I VIII not say"
Y Mr.ePershal1 intiInated -Seeley had
been in the hands of his counsel ever
since he was announced as having dis
appeared last Friday and was where
ne could be reached without trouble or
delay at any time.
ut would not have helped Seeley to
leave the country" said Mr.. Pershall,
as he could be brought back as
as on any indictment for felony
Mr.. Pershall said that Seeley had a
good case on which to fight when he
surrendered.
"You may look for some very inter-
esting Developments" he said. "There
is a good deal of this bank robbery
story that has not been yet told, bait it
will all come out. The bank has not
lost near as much money as is reported
as having been stolen from it. Seeley
and Baker were both tools of other
persons, but who they are I cannot tell
at this time. Seeley's counsel will
probably be in position tomorrow to
say something to the public Of a very
definite nature
There was another development yes
terday7 in the Shoe and Leather de-
falcation of scarcely less interest than
Lawyer Pershall's announcement that
Seeiey was preparing to surrender and |
that his bail has practically been ar
ranged. A weN-l1nown pool-room |
hacker who was unwilling that his
name be used, said that Seeley for sew
eral years had been a partner with
Peter DeLacey and Andrew Boyd in
the racing pool at No. SO Park Row.
This place has been closed for year
and since then Andrew Boyd, better
known among the sporting fraternity
as ANDY" Boyd, has been backing a
hand book on the races in partnership,
Ii is alleged, with Seeley.
