positions taken which the. company
claim prove conclusiveIy that instead
of being a man whose financial stand
ing was above reproach. his career
previous to his leaving the Midland
hotel was one that IN later years
would have been termed a ''get-rich-
quick scheme or "frenzied finance.
It was found that at the time Of his
disappearance he was indebted to the
Niles bank to the extent Of 81, 600, none
of which he was able to pay
It was also found that a short time
before his dropping out Of sight he had
drawn a draft which showed on the
books of the bank as being for 500.
When the draft was returned from the
bank that had cashed it, it was found
to have been drawn for 81, 100.
It was learned that he was indebted
to the Farmers State bank to the ex-
tent of SO $50, with no other security
than his personal note. He had dis
counted a note for $4,000 drawn by 3
man named Whistler, the proceeds be
ing paid directly to Kimmel.
He had formed two dummy corpora
! lions, one, the Texas Grain company,
securing a considerable amount OF
money on unsecured notes, the money
going to Kfmmel. Another, the Farm
ers Mill & Elevator company, secured
81, 500 in the same manner. J. E french
had his note discounted for $4,000 and
Kimmel got that money also.
During all of this time he had been
specializing in grain.
The day of his disappearance from
Kansas City he drew draft on his
bank-the American National of that
city-for $3.50, the proceeds of which are
supposed to be the funds used in dis
appearing so effectually. The draft
was not good and the bank is still out
the money.
A few months before he disappeared
the PinkertOns were working on Get
ebrated case whereby the Pacific Ex-
press company of Omaha, from which
city Kimmel had formerly come to Ar
kansas City, had been defrauded to the
extent of several hundred thousand dol
lars.
In some manner 1t was learned that
Kimmel had become the receiver or
trustee for $4,000 which had been OBJ
tanned from some Of the stolen securi-
ties.
ing an explanation of his connection
with the case which was satisfactory
to the company and he agreed to ap-
pear at the trial of the embezzlers and
testify as to what he knew in the case.
The case was to have come to trial
soon after Kimmel disappeared.
One of those in the defalcation turn
ed states evidence and was not prose-
cuted, but the others escaped punish
ment when the case came to trial.
Now that the insurance case is about
to come to trial the name of George A.
Kimmel will be on the lips of the thou
sands who knew him so well years ago
and renewed effort will be made to learn
more about his disappearance.
The insurance company will make eV-
cry effort to show that he is not dead.
The holders of the policies will use
equally strong efforts to prove that the
failure to locate him for such a long
time is sufficient evidence that he is
dead
Both parties to the suit are well pro-
vided with funds and as the amount in
volved is a. considerable sum, the fight
will be a bitter one.
