train moved away, leaving one detec-
tive in Miller's company and another
standing on the platform.

tive In MHler'o company ana announcer
standing on the platform.
Miller's actions indicated that he
knew he was being pursued, for he
hurried to the Temple court building
in Nassau street, which has three exits
and offers unusual opportunities for es-
cape. Finn saw Miller mix with a
crowd at the Nassau street entrance
and disappear. and not knowing that
there was more than one entrance to
the building he called Captain Reynolds
over the telephone, telling him that
Miller was in the building.
Keep him under your eye" Captain
Reynolds replied. II will send two
men, who will arrest him, for warrant
has been issued"
Then Finn turned his attention again
to Miller. and found that the man had
escaped.
That ends the story of Miller on the
police record to date. He comes under
the head of wanted" and early yes
terday a general alarm for his arrest
was sent out from police headquarters
1t reads:
Arrest for grand larceny, William F..
Miller. 36 years old, five feet five inches

whiskers, broken nose, mixed gray suit
and overcoat. light alpine hat.
Also Cecil Leslie, so years, five feet
nine inches, weight $50 pounds, fair
mustache, black eyes, right arm off at
shoulder. mixed gray suit and overcoat,

| erS.
The police have been unable to find
Charles Schmidt, Miller's brother in
law, and there is theory that the men
may be together in Canada. There Is no
warrant Cor the arrest of Schmidt, and
the rumor that others besides Miller
were wanted was not verified by the
developments Saturday
| The crowds which surrounded the
banking house of the Franklin Syndi-
cate Saturday were expected to de-
nounce the 10-per-cent-a-w week manipu-
lator without stint. But they did moth
ing of the sort. On the contrary, most
of those who had placed their money
| with Miller were convinced that he was
more sinned against than SHINING. They
declared that they We're ready to double
their deposits with Franklin Syndicate
as soon as Miller should return.
The premises at IA Floyd street were
in the possession of the police yester-
day, and nobody was permitted to adj
vance further than the outer door,
The most anxionus persons about the
syndicate premises We're the typewrit-
ters and clerks employed by Miller
who had weeks salary coming to
them. These had been told that AS
4 signee DAILY would appear at about
noon and pay their wages, but he failed
4 to come. Among the employees are many
women and young girls who felt the
loss of weeks pay keenly. Miller paid
good wages. as is shown by the fac,
that his cashier, Miss Trembotta, re-
ceived s25 a week.
i The women in the crowd were Mil.
ers most enthusiastic defenders. They
i declared that he had given his none,
to the poor instead of to the rich ant
therefore the banks We're down on him
The experience of some of Miller'
victims is p!tiable. Mrs. Charlton,
poor dressmaker who said she ha,
never been able to make more than S
cents a day working on her machine
said she had put the savings of years
amounting to about $3.50, with Mile
about week ago and that she had no
received her first dividend.
Mrs. Stronmeyer. the wife of deli
catessen dealer. had $500 invested Ii
the Franklin Syndicate. She had draw
three weeks interest and her husban
was so delighted with the income of "a
a week that he wanted to sell out tn
, shop. He was satisfied Saturday t
keep on with the delicatessen business
r 1t was learned that many of the EN-
/ ployes of Louis Bossert. who keep
large lumber yards on the river from
| invested their money with Miller /
f is said that fully 1.500 of the 1000 me
: employed by Bossert had sunk thei
i savings in the Franklin Syndicate
An individual, whose name Is with
held for the present, said Saturday tina
y Miller had 10000 out-of-town subscrit
!. ers at an average of 800 each. The las
n days receipts of the syndicate are sal
q by this person to have been $4,000.
