L have taken $4,000 and gone. You
Will near from me and l will send you
money, but give none of it to the Ex-
press company. If sm spprehended,
[ will kill myself"
This remarkable letter closed with g
page of the most touching expressions
OF hiS love tor his wife and children,
and his mother, who is IN Atlant7 He
deplored the disgrace that his 5tiou
would bring to his loved ones but
stated that it was impossible to pre-
vent it.
Ga the back of the third sheet was
written: "P. 8. You will find some
thing for yourself in the cedar chest"
10 the chest, which stood in the
hall, Mrs. Mabry found two bags Of

THE MISSING PACKAGES
On the IL o'clock train Tuesday night
from which Mr.. Mabry himself re-
celved the express m alter, were two
packages of money from Savannah
one, 5000, for the National Bank of
Brunswick; one, IS, 900, for the Bruins.
wick Savings and Trust Co. These
two packages are missing. The
money for the two banks came from
the Savannah Bank and Trust Co.
Another package. containing $4,000,
was placed IN the express office here
by VIM. Johnston & Co. for shipment
to Savannah. 1t has not been heard
from.
DID MABRY TAKE ALL?
Route Agent John Lovette, of the
Southern Express Co., as predicted in
Mr.. Mabry's letter, arrived yesterday
morning, and took charge Of the local
Office. His first discovery was that
the Office safe was locked. No one in
the office but Mabry knew the combi-
nation. The Chattanooga office has
duplicates of all the safe combina-
tlons, and has forwarded the Bruns-
wick combination. Tha safe cannot
be opened until this morning.
The mystery of the locked safe is
whether it contains any of the money
which is missing,
To TIMES reporter last night Mr.,
LDvette said: 81 have not been able
to check the office today, and cannot
do so until the safe Is lened. Cen
eral superintendent NJ. j. O'Brien
and other officials will be here IN the
morning, and will turn the case over
to them. Mr., Mabry has been in the
company's employ for twelve years"
Mr Lovette denied that Mr. MsbrY
had been found short before, but eaid
that mistakes had occurred.
WHERE Is THE AGENT?
Since 6 80 o'clock yesterday morn
ing Mr.. Mabry has been completely
out OF sight, as though the earth hsd
swallowed him. Before that hour he
was seen by two parties.
At 80, Foreman G. j. Sanders, of
the fire department, saw Mr.. Mabry
going down George street, with over
coat and grip, heading for Cochran
avenue.
At 6 80, Ernest Arnheiter me- Mr.
Mabry. on Dartmouth street, goi0g
east. He had grip, an overcoat and
a newspaper, and the back of his coat
stuck ont, as though there were large
packages IN the hip pockets Of bls
trousers. Arnheiter accosted him, but
was not noticed.
From this point, the movements of
the missing man are altogether con-
jectural. Did he go by vessel or train?
Only one vessel left this port yester-
d4S-the Norwegian bark Hovdng,
which proceeded from quarantine to
Satilla river. The only train on which
Mr Mabry could possibly have es-
capped, was the 40 a. m. Southern TO
Everett-and he did not leave on this,
as he was seen at 30
The police made vigorous search
of the oity, lasting all day, but found
nothing except the facts above stated.
