HOW ALVORD WAS DISCOVERED
BY Accident a Fellow. Employee Saw
Hin DOctOring His Books

New York. Oct. 26.-In order to make
clear certain alleged misstatements. Vice
President Hine, of the First National
bank, today explained in detail some of
the incidents leading up to the discoy-
cry OF Alvords crime. In the first place,
Mr.. Hine said Alvord had worked stead
lily and without suspicion until the af-
teTnoon of the 18th instant, BY the mer-
est accident clerk saw him make GER
tain erasures in the clearing house sheet.
but, while he thought this unusual, said
nothing about it to anybody until short
ly after 4 o'clock. BY that time Alvord
had gone but 1t was expected that he
would return, as he had some work to
finish. When Alvord failed to return, the
clerk who had seen him make the eras-
ures made casual mention of the matter
10 Assistant Cashier Backus. The lat
ter, without suspecting that anything
was wrong. looked over Alvord's balance
and soon found several discrepancies. He
was on the point of leaving matters for
Alvord's adjustment, when he decided to
make a further examination, and soon
saw that many items had been deliber-
ately falsified. BY this time the suspi-
cions of the assistant cashier had be-
cutie very dIOUStu AL the IilEh
officials Of the bank had gone for the
day, but. meeting a number Of clerks.
Mr.. Bsckus went hrrriedly over the note
teller's books and in a few moments had
overwhelming proof of Alvord's guilt
Mr.. Hine did not say how Alvord learned
that he was under suspicion, hyt he con-
firmed the report that the note teller re-
turned to the bank early on Thursday
evening and seeing others at work upon
his books, realized that he had been dis
covered. Alvord had not been under
surveillance up to that time. although It
has been said that he was suspected as
early as the 18th inst. The bank Off
Gals are convinced that he did not go
TO his home the night Of the 18th, and
they are also convinced that he has not
been there since the morning Of that
date.
Alvord's crime came to light exactly
three days after the national bank ex-
aminers completed their examination
While the First National bank officers
admit that Alvord's wrongdoing is in no
degree the result Of any laxitv upon the
part Of examiners. vet they seem some
what annoyed at what they regard as
