Six Hundred Dollars Of the Firms

New York, Feb. l7.--Confessing that
she had forged many checks and drawn
on her employers bank account since
last October, Margaret Connolly. is
years old. has been taken into custody.
The child said she had used the money,
OF which $500 or $500 Is missing, to
play philantrophist among the poor
children living near her home.
Her parents are dead and she lives
with an aunt. Last summer she OBJ
tanned position with Fifth avenue

bright and trustworthy that In a short
time she was carrying the firms money
TO the bank. Balancing the books had
been neglected for some time and re-
Gently this was done. Then many
checks payable to Cash" were found
which the proprietors asserted were
forged. Suspicion at last fastened on
the little errand girl and when con-
fronted by the police she owned up.
She had regularly been giving her
salary OF Sc week to her aunt and
she had made her little friends gifts
with the money obtained from the
bank where he alleged imitation of the
firms signature completely deceived
the tellers. The child expressed great
sorrow over her actions and It Is said

Missing Bonds Of Bank Have Not
Been Found.
JIMMY HOPE DOESN'T KNOW
Arrest Of Or. Wilcoxson in New York
With One Of the Bonds in His Pos
session Gives no Clue 10 Where
Missing Bonds Are.

New York, Feb. 17.--No trace Of the
missing bonds stolen from the Man
haitian Savings institution 2s years
ago, one Of which. presented at the
Aetna National bank a few days ago
led to the arrest OF DR.. Lewis orville
Wilcoxson, Joseph A. Taylor and J. A.
Smith, has been discovered by the sec
ret service agents, despite seapch
which had included most of the banks
and financial institutions of the city.
The bond in question was for $4,000
ani one Of a series of 30.
1t is believed that IL any Of the re-
naming 29 bonds have found their
way into the strong boxes Of Other
bankers their discovery will not be
made public. The notoriety in such
case is not desirable, and the worth
less securities. whose cash value is the
paper they are printed on, will, If
found, be checked off to profit and loss
account.
Secret service detectives have been
unable to get any trace of him who
posed as Samuel Warren Miller" at
the Shoe and Leather bank on Monday
when Or. wllcoxson visited that insti-
tuition with Miller and had bond Of
$4,000 transferred to himself. The de.
scription Of eMiller" does not tally
with that Of James Hope, one Of the
Manhattan Savings institution burg
lars. Hope is not being sought by the
secret service or central Office detec-
tiveg
Hope is living quietly with his fam
lily in upper Columbus avenue. When
seen today he said: "The discovery of
this bond has brought my name again
before the public and it is hinted that
| may have in my possession some OF
those securities or at least know where
they are. 1t is not true. / don't know
Dr. Wilcoxson or Samuel Miller. Have
the police been here? you ask. an
swer no. There is no reason why they
should. All l want is to be let alone"
