motion for Stensland's return Il cable
gram, sent by him to Theodore Stems
isnd, his son, from Gibraltar three days
before his embellishments became
known, fell into the hands of Inspector
Shippy. In effect it said Stensland con-
sidered himself safe, and it instructed
Stensland Jr. that concealment no long
er was necessary.
Tangier is across the strait from
Gibraltar, and StAlsland was about to
embark for the country in which he
finally was captured when he cabled.
Inspector Shippy declared that the ca
blegram was the only communication
received by the son from his father be-
fore the crash, and that the letter
from st. Paul" which Theodore pre-
tended conveyed to him the news of his
fathers defalcations had no existence.
Meanwhile Stensland is fighting des-
! perately in Tangier to retain $4,000,
probably all that remained to him of
the thousands he stole from the de-
positors of the Milwaukee Avenue Bank
when he was captured. The money is
on deposit in the Compton National
d'Escompte. Mr.. Barbour received
word that Stensland was resorting to
every means to retain possession of
the money. He accordingly cabled Mr..
Olson authority from John G. Fetzer,
receiver Of the looted bank, to attach
the fund to Stensland's credit In the
Tangier bank in the name of Mr.. Fet.
