heart, Also Drops Out of Sight.


Boston, May 22.-There probably was
never a worse man. so far as the
Boston police are concerned. than miss
Ing Messenger King Of the Boyiston Ma
tional bank.
There have been greater robberies In
the city than the one he In accused OF
having committed last Wednesday, and
public sentiment has demanded the cap
ture of men guilty Of horrible murders
In tones more emphatic than those heard
at the present time. but no 19-year-old
boy ever walked of with $50, 900 and dis
appeared from view 30 suddenly and
completely as this young man appears
10 have done.
The fact that all the clues the police
have obtained and Investigated up to
the present time have proved practically
worthless and that. with all the effort
that has been made to locate the miss
Ing man. the attempts are utterly fu-
tile. disturbs the oflicerv not q little.
II they knew he had been seen sons
where since he disappeared from his us
ual haunts II would b an encourage
ment, but no such knowledge IL In their
possession, and one clue ID ~ good - an
other until II 10 exploded.
Yesterdays developments were repe-
tition Of those Of the day before. and at
night all that was to be done was to
walt until q new day came. with q new
crop Of supposed traces of the fugitive.
Attempts to locate King along the line
OF the Intercolonial railway In Canada
were as fruitless a. the efforts Of Thurs-
day night to ind him In the South End
OF Boston. Canadian points and those
In the provinces were under the closest
surveillance all day long. but no one an
swering Kings Descriptions was found.
Captain Dugan Ia confident that King
n somewhere In Quebec. and that Mr..
Harris rs on the right track. Harris
claims to have traced his man from Con-
cord to White River Junction. and thence
to Wells River. VT A young man an
swering the description Of Ming left
Wells River on the as o'clock train yes
tcrday afternoon on the Copnecticut and

the use Of his mileage book. From Wells
River he rode to Newport. There he
changed cars and proceeded TO sher-
brooke, province of Quebec. At Sher-
brooke. Inspector Harris lost trace Of
him and proceeded to Montreal.
Today II is believed that an incentive
to the pursuit of King will be offered by
the directors of the Boylston bank. Thus
far there has not been a cent offered for
his detection.
