Montgomery arrived at Midway, B.

handsome brunette about twenty-five
years of age. whom he introduced as
his wife. He was a stout man, middle
aged, tritie gray and somewhat
nervous.
Comparison of pictures of Stensland
and the woman who is believed to be
with the banker strengthened the be-
lief that Montgomery was the fugi-

A message was sent to the Chicago
authorities asking for detailed de-

corresponded the Midway police pur-
posed to take Montgomery into Gus

Montgomery declared his intention

decided they would not be justified in

The chief of police of Midway states
that the officers are still shadOWing
