ETHEREAL space any quicker than there
appeared In the room an individual who
asked TO see Capt. Parker.
The caller was closeted with Capt. Par
ker for few minutes. and when he left
the office Capt-Parl1er said that the man
was clairvoyant and that he had asked
that the police would allow him to touch
some article OF clothing worn by the
missing Robert Calender. If this were
done, he, the clairvoyant, could surely
locate the man wanted.
This morning the same man called at
the city hall and said that since his first
visit he had. through his cairvoyant
powers, seen and talked with Robert CAL
lender and that the missing man would
return home next Tuesday
lie did not explain whether the return
would be voluntary or where the miss
ing one had been.
This noon a telephone message was
received at The News office to the effect
that Callender's body had been found to-
day in pond nearby this city. Tha DO
lice knew nothing of the alleged find and
IL was decided that the story must have
originated IN the discredited rumor rela.-
tive TO the Seekonk river find.

Death
CLAIMS
BA2DSLEY
Former City Treasurer Convicted
Of Enbszz|amant Passes
Away at Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-John Bardsley.
former city treasurer OF Philadelphia. is
dead at his home here after an illness of
10 days.
Mr. Bardsley was born in England in
1886. He was city treasurer in 1890 when
the Barring failure in London caused
run on the Keystone National here. in
which Bardsley had on deposit both the
funds OF the city and the state. Tho
bank failed in 1891. The Spring Garden
Bank, another of Bardsleys repositories,
failed soon after.
Bardsley was later arrested and plead
ed guilty TO the charge of misappropriat-
ing the funds of the city and state. The
amounts involved were 900 OF the city
money and 100000 of state funds. In 1891
he was sentenced to Is years imprison-
ment in the Eastern penitentiary and TO
pay n fine of S237. .530
There had long been a feeling that
Bardsley WAS more or n scapegoat than
a deliberate embeZzler and strong efforts
were made towards securing his pardon.
These were successful in 1896.
