Fhe best evidence is the gold brought

POLICE Get MAN

Missing New York Bank Messen-
ger Surrenders Himself.
HE TELLS A STRANGE STORY
DECLARES THAT he HIMSELF
HAD BEEN ROBBED.

New York, Oct. 1e.-George Arn1it-
age, the missing messenger of the Bank
of New Amsterdam. walked into the
Tenderloin police station today and
gave himself up. The detectives tried
to get him to make a statement, but
he declined to discuss his case.
Armitage only had 1910 on him
when arrested. After he disappeared
drafts and collections representing
many thousands of dollars were re-
turned to the bank by a mysterious
colored woman, who has not yet been
found by the police. This incident
gave rise to a theory of foul play,
which the police later discredited. Ar
mitage's accounts, according to the
bank officials, show a shortage Of S.
900. of which $1,000 is covered by a
fidelity bond.
= Armitage subsequently made a re-
Iharkable confession, which set the

accomplices, who. as alleged had in

player in the resort, the wife of the

Marie, became friendly with all during

Armitage said that after he stole the
money he got drunk and was unable to
return the checks. Marie and the wife
or the piano player agreed to do it for
him, and, taking the bank wallet to
brooklyn, hired negro woman to re-
turn it to the bank. Armitage said that
as the woman left him Marie suggested
that she had better take Charge of
the stolen money for safety. Armitage
said he gave up the money, and the
woman never came back. 1t is believed
