Secretary

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-According to the
story told to the Chicago Presbytery by
President Herrick Johnson, the defalca-
tion of Treasurer Charnley of the Pres
byterian Board Of Aid for Colleges and
Academies, was known last July. From
that time on, until his disappearance on
the evening of September 1st Charnley
had been in charge Of private detec-
tive. This detective ate and slept with
Charnley and accompanied him every
where.
The night Of September 1st Charnley
had an engagement to meet his brother
at the corner Of Lake and State streets,
and he went to the rendezvous accompa-
MED by the detective. The brother, how
ever, did not appear. Charnley, being
near sighted, asked the detective to keep
close watch of all passing streets cars,
30 as not to miss his brother.
AS the detective was scanning closely
a particularly heavily loaded car Charm
ley tiptoed away. 1t is thought that a
carriage was waiting at a convenient
distance and that Charnley entered this
and was driven away.

onorating the Board of Aid from blame.
