/ returned to his home after a night
spent In the mountains Nobody Will
talk, and the shroud that those wear
who could tell things very interesting
and very sensational II they would, Is
black and forbiddlng.
Mr. Dooly, cashier of the bank, fol-
lowing the policy Of silence adopted by
all who know anything, would not
talk.
II have nothing to give out" he
said today,
rs the task Of discovering the short
age anywhere near completedY' was
asked.
Mr. Dooly became impatient III
! you were an accountant" he said with
a touch Of scorn. you would know that
II Is not anywhere near completed
Nor would anyone else speak upon
the subject, except to say that they
hadn't heard a thing"
As stated in the News" last evening,
a detective has come to aid In the In
vestigation, and he will assist the
bank officials in determining what shall
be done II has developed that this
special agent is j, N. Thacker of San
Francisco. California Mr. Thacker
Is at the Knutsford In room adjacent
to that OF Robertson, more by design
perhaps than by accident.
CONFERENCE WITH DooLY.
There was n conference between Mr.,
Dooly and Robertson last evening but
II is stated that nothing of Importance
was accomplished The cashier was
with the teller exactly 20 minutes, and
when he left II was In the company OF
a man answering the description Of De-
tective King, who is said to be here
assisting Special Agent Thacker
The feeling that there will be no
prosecution Is on the increase
today, and not without justification.
No complaint has yet been sworn out
against Robertson He is not under ar
rest He II at the KnutsfQrd hotel as
guest, and could leave as any other
guest might. Nor Is the prospect for
arrest very large and expansive. No
one is willing TO make the move,
BEING PATCHED UP.
As the talk around town has II today,
the affairs OF the defaultlng teller viii
be patched up, and only those Intimate
ly connected with the patching will
know the mechanism through which It
was accomplished. Only those In on the
deal, II is said, will know how many
and whose names and regulations are
saved by a policy Of silence and arbi-
tratlon.
For the impression Is growing that
there are others, big men In business
and pc,ltita, Who have proflted by Rob,
ertsons dishonor, and that II will be TO
their interest TO arrive at settlement
of the matter without any court proceed
lngs aud Just as quietly as possible.
The effort to keep things hushed up Is
evident already-very evident, indeed.
WHY SHEETS is GUARD.
There are many reports about why
Sheets has been chosen to guard Rob
ertson. He is said 20 have learned long
ago Of the weaknesses OF Robertson,
whose friend he was and Is, He is also
the friend Of the other men who are
said to have been Robertson's associates
and his knowledge is not without profit
to himself. In the event of Robertson
being acquitted and going back TO the
Council 1t is declared that the fight will
be kept up In Sheets interest until he is
re-instated on the police force.
RoBERTsoNs BOND.
From O reliable source today IL was
learned that Robertsop is bonded in
the United States Fidelity company for
$40, 900 1t had been stated previously |
that he was bonded in theSpaoifc Sure
ty company for only $4,000, but this ls
denied today. This VIII make twice as |
large a sum for the friends OF the de-
faultIng teller TO meet II they are TO |
square him with the Fidelity company, |
to ward of any prosecution which they |
would undoubtedly make II they didn't |
get their money.
