BANK SWINDLER CAUGHT
BOOkkEEPER OF BANK OF LIVER.
POOL IN CUSTODY.
Counsel Charles Mathews Tells How
the Gigantic Fraud Was
Perpetrated.

A dispatch from London yesterday saws
Thomas Paterson Goudie, the bookkeepe,
OF the Bank of Liverpool who disappeared
at the time of the discovery that the bank
had been robbed of about 100000. was
captured today at Bootle, where he ha6
been In hiding. Goudie had 600 in his
pocket when arrested. He will be brough,
to London for trial with the other mer
taken into custody in connection with the
robbery. two of whom, Dick Burge. the
pugilist. and F. I. Kelly. the bookmaker
of Bradford, were remanded today after a
partial hearing of the evidence against
them.
Hundreds of people clamored for admis-
sion into the small court room at Bow
street, hardly capable of holding those di.
rectly interested in the case.
Charles Mathews, counsel for the VIC
timized bank. in presenting the case
against the prisoners, gave the first au-
thentic details of the frauds He explained
that there had been twenty-seven checks
forged. The first two affected Goudie. The
next twelve, representing in value ELS, 800
would be mainly traced to Kelly. Another
seven checks, aggregating f53, 900, would be
first traced to Kelly and afterward to
Kelly and another person not yet before
the court. Six other checks, valued at f91,.
GOO, would be traced, first to Laurie Marks
who paid them into his bank accounts. But
some of the proceeds were also tracable
to Burge. The whole amount had been
drawn out of the Bank of Liverpool by
checks drawn to the account of R. w.
Hudson.
Evidence was then presented to show
that Laurie Marks opened an account with
the Credit Lyonnais, at the end of 1899.
In October, 1901, he paid In the first Hud-
son check. amounting to f5.O00. Later he
introduced Burge, who opened an account.
After the first Hudson check was paid in,
in October. Marks deposited two more Hud-
son checks, for f16.OO0 On November /
Burge. accompanied by Marks, cashed a
check for f130OO, receiving f1.OOO in notes.
The same day the identical notes were
deposited by James Names, whom Marks
had in the meanwhile introduced at the
bank. Marks. November 4, deposited a
Hudson check for 10000. and November 8
Burge presented check for Els 900, drawn
by Marks in his favor, while Mances the
same day, cashed another Of Marks checks
for f10.0OO. A witness testified to a num-
Der of similar transactions. When the
bank was enjoined the amounts standing
to the credit of the accused were: Burge,
f13.5S9: Marks. f1O,9O1, and Mances. Els, 9e7.

looked forward to. and he gave some
what unusual exhibition bowling in the
second game %, exceeding the score made
by Brandt for high record for the season.
Following this he made the tiny score of

individual scores of the match. In his first
game, however, he bowied well, 50 secured
a good average, and his coming undoubt-
ediy brings added strength to the team
