Six Bankers In One Jail.

From the Providence Journal.
When Banker Bigelow of Milwaukee,
who stole $l.5O0,0O0, reached the United
States penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth,
to which he has been sentenced for a
term of ten years, he found there five
ether ex-bankers serving time for SINH
lar dishonesty. 1t Is a startling matter
for consideration. What makes 1t worse
Is that these men probably are by no
means all Of the same profession who
ought to be there for appropriating to
their own use the money OF which they
had charge as trustees. Nobody knows
how many have engaged In speculation
precisely as Bigelow did and because
fortune turned In their favor are still oc-
oapying bank parlors. instead of prison
cells. and showing brave front to the
world But they are. in fact. no more
honest and no less criminal than he was.

MIKE MAYER TURNS
UP AT CULLMAN
MAN THOUGHT TO HAVE BEEN
MURDERED A WEEK AGO RE-
TJRNS ALlvE-PARTIE AR
RESTED HAVE BEEN RELEASED.

cullman July 2.-(Specal)-MikeM Mayer,
who disappeared from his home one mile
from this place about a week ago and
for the murder Of whom j. M. North
cut, Florence Northcut, Eugene North
cut, Annie Northcut and Jake Requette
were arrested, turned up alive this morn
ing. He Is in good health and claims
that he was not murdered as has been
alleged.
The parties who were under arrest were
given a preliminary hearing yesterday
before Robert |. Burke judge OF the coun-
ty court and released for lack of evidence
to convict. One of the women arrested Is
s,lpposed to be the wife of Mayer, the
man who disappeared.
The affair has caused considerable ex-
element in Cullman and 1t was believed
for a while that enough evidence would
be secured to convict some OF the parties
arrested. .
Mike is congratulating himself that the
murder did not occur as alleged and the
parties under suspicion are equally
pleased over the temperance OF the sup
posed dead man. Mike is silent on the
reason for his playful going away.
