in the stock market, and there is report that
he sunk $T5,000 in a plunge which he took In
Tennessee Coal and Iron. Although the bank
officers refuse to discuss that phase of the mat
ter there is no doubt that their detectives are
making Inquiries among the brokerage houses
and that if Alvord's broker or broke-= can be
brought to book they certainly will be made to
disgorge. 1t is the general impression that, even
if he was a loser in stock speculation, Alvord
stored away a large part Of the money he had
stolen.
There was a report yesterday afternoon that
AlVord had committed suicide, but the bank ofl-
GERS had comment to make on the rumor.
Vice President Hine, in referring yesterday 70
the remark in Tuesdays statement that the
hank hoped to recover a substantial sum (Which
