the bank officials in their behalf that

immediate bar to restitution on his
part
Meanwhile the man who is said by
intimate friends to be in his house at
Mount Vernon, and by others to be
somewhere In the vicinity, is under close
surveillance by detectives. His escape
is an ~impossibility.
"Alvord is said to have had an ernom-
Gus sum in ready cash when he ook
his final departure from the bank.
This. with his real estate holdings,
several blocks Of securities, his wife's
diamonds, his horses and livery and his
interest in several New York business
concerns, are under consideration in the
negotiations between Alvord'S friends
and those from whom he stole.
One of the absconder's friends as

travagance of Alvord to the president

it's his money. The bank officer said
to the alderman: Il will speak to

ought to know it,"

Foley said he believed that Alvord is
in hiding in this city.
The World will say tomorrow: "It
was learned last night hat Alvord is
not the first employee of the First ma
tional bank who has embezzled. Just
before Alvord was promoted to- the
place of teller there was a scandal that
implicated one of the old employees in
whom the bank officers had thorough
confidence. How much the shortage
was could % be learned 1t was said
however, that as soon as exposure
came the man was dismissed, his bonds.
