THIS TIME SURE
Harry Brown to Arrive Tomorrow
M0voino
Morning.

Ever since Harry Brown left sud
denly for Mexico there has been a
story circulated about once a week that
he was on his way back. These stories
have been told so often that they aav
been generally discredited by the pub
lie. Those who claim to b. in Il posi-
tion to know. say that letters have
been received ftom him To the effect
that he W IL Dr. back On Wednesday.
Since ni- departure the tongue of
rumor has beer pretty busy with the
Bank affairs and now they w.g livlier
than ever. While the old Bank man-
ayers have been claiming hat they
are securing the earth with detectives,
his friends say thai he could have been
found at any time and that the Bank
people did not want him. 1t is also
claimed that Jake Klein's friendS con
sidered that he had been badly i4nr
up and has induced Brown to return
and tell al; he knows about the Bank,
the Mint and various transactions
that he is supposed to know a good
deal about. 1t is argued that no u
person could POSSIBLY have taken
the SOS, 900 and that Brown i, coming
back to admit the taking OF 50 900
and say that the disappearance Of the
rest Of the sway he cannot account for.
Others claim that Brown will get off
scot free on the plea that he merely
endulged in overdrafts the same as
several other parties did and that he
is no more criminally responsible than
they. Whether any Of these stories
are true or not public curiosity Is
keenly whetted.
There was a meeting OF the Bank
Directors yesterday morning. in refer
ence to the matter. Evan Williams
said that he would swear to the COM
plaii t but Bob Hofer, the ex-cashier,
who was present, said that he he'd
rather swear 10 it himself as the pub
lie had placed him under suspicion
and he desired to have an opportunity
of proving hat he had no connection
whatever with the matter. 1t was all
finally agreed that Hofer would make
the complaint as soon as Brown ar
rived and the case would go to the
next Grand Jury.
1t appears that the friends and re-
latives of Brown have for some time
past been urging him to return and
face the music. He is not anxious to
do this but he has Of late realized that
he is a hunted man and fugative
from justice, and while it has been
charged that the old bank officials did
not want him back, it is nevertheless
a fact that they placed descriptions OF
Brown and photographs In the hands
Of Chief Crowley, who sent duplicates
, to the detective agencies Of all the
large cities and he assured the Banb
people that he would in due season
deliver Brown to them.
, 1t is doubtless the feeling or
r Browns part hat be would eveEtu
3 ally be arrested that has induced hin
o t. write to his friends that he wa.
willing to come back and stand trial
Since the shortage a discovered
