TRACING KING.
Boston Police Are Re-
ceiving Many Reports.
One From New Haven Chief
OF Police May Give Clue.
Abscondlng Messenger ClShci the
$4,000 U. S. Certificate.

Boston. May 60 The police today re-
ceived several reports that Albert NJ King
the 10 years old messenger of the Boylston
National Bank of this city, who disap.
peared yesterday with $40, 600 of the hank
funds and $40. 600 legal tender certificate,
had probably heen seen M several New
England points. Dispatches from Wood
vile. y. H., Lowell, and New Haven
stated that a boy answering Kings des-
cription was seen at these places. Early
this morning Chief Watts received this
telegram from the chief police az New
Haven Man answering Co King ; descrip-
tion had through ticket 10 New York but
gave it away at Willimantic, this state, and
left the train there. "
The authorities are making thorough
search of New England. The usual theory
in the case of trusted bank employees who
disappear with the funds of the institu-
tion does not seem to apply To the case Of
King.
Kings father admits that rumors of
his sons wildness had reached his cars
and that he had cautioned the young man
about being out late at night, but nothing
definite as 20 the dissipation on the boy 5
part had come TO light While his salary
did not admit of very EXPENSIVE habits,
yet IL is not known that no was i'm debt
TO any extent and his fall seems to have
been due TO his inability Co resist the
temptation oocasioned by handling large
sums OF money. When the banks opened
this morning IL was definitely learned
that King oashed the $4,000 United
States certificate, making the total
amount of money which he took $30 900.
The money was of three denominations.
There were IL $1,000 bills
Everett Higgins a young man with
whom Albert NJ King was worry intiu ate
states That on Tuesday night he was with
young King, and during the general con
versation which took place between them
King remarked: You won't see mo
around these parts much longer" Hig-
gins did not attach any particular sig
nificance to the remark at the time, but
In view OF the recent developmets il is
thought that King had been planning for
his escape, and was only waiting favor
able opportunity to carry out his plans.
Word has been received from Lowell
that the pocketbook of the Boylston
National Bank, which was Kings Gus.
tom TO carry was found I'm Boston street
car last night. From the information at
hand Chief Watts OF the local police,
thinks king upon leaving tho New York
express at Willimantic, Conn. took train
for Lowell on his way to Canada, as he
could at that point catch northern
bound express. Chief Watts expresses
considerable certainty that King Will be
located In Montreal or some other place in
the provinces very soon.
