posed for the occasion, and sung to the
tune OF Maryland, Ny Maryland"
which always touches responsive
chord in every Marylander's heart,
was grandly rendered, Mr.. Harry
Davidson leading with the cornet. The

Capture of Defaulter Green.

Through the efforts Of the Fidelity
and Deposit Company OF Maryland,
Richard III. Green, .Jr., the deiaulIing
book keeper OF the Farmers National
Bank Of Annapolis was captured by
the Company's detectives Smith, West
IL Lyons, last week. Green lett
Annapolis, September 10Th when he
discovered that he was suspected OF
being short in his accounts. The
Fidelity and Deposit Company Of
Maryland was surety ON his bond to
the extent OF $4,000 An exami-
nation of his books revealed the fact
that he had stolen in the neighborhood
of $4,000. As soon a. the eX-
animation Was finiShen and the Fidel-
ity and Deposit Company was formally
notified o. the shortage, it sent It's
check for $4,000. the full amount Of
its bond, to Mr. J. Writ Randall, the
President of the bank. Immediately
upon the Fidelity and Deposit Com
pany being convinced that there was
a defalcation, it put its detectives to
work and Green was traced from point
to point in various parts of the coun
try until he was located AT Grafton,
Pa. arrested and taken TO Baltimore.
The promptness Of the Fidelity and
Deposit Company of Maryland in
paving the amount OF its bond and
tracing Green to his hiding place,
demonstrates the advantage OF corpor-
ate surety, in that it shows that when
corporation qualities on bond, it
meets its liability promptly and at the
same time does not allow the deiaulter
70 escape.
