STRONG BOX
OF Banker StenslandWas
Opened in Chicago
and Revealed Further
Evidence of Crooked
.@t - -
ness.

Chicago. Aug. 31.--The private
strong box of Paul o. Stensland, in
the safety deposit vault OF the looted
Milwaukee avenue State bank, was
pried open today and revealed addi-
tional evidences of crookedness and
touched persons who have never
heretofore been under suspicion. The
box when opened proved to be the
hiding place of all of Stensland's most
valuable papers and plans for future
plunderings of the institution but
which were rudely interrupted by the
closing of the bank by the state au-
thorities. Over $50 blank warranty
deeds, all signed by Dummies" were
brought to light. A large package of
mining stocks,- thoaght to be worth
less, and life insurance policies aggre-
eating about $125,000 we're also in the
receptacle. These will be used as an
asset of the bank If possible. Upon in
yestigation it was found that these
dummies" are persons who never
owned piece of property in Chicago
or elsewhere. What makes the find
SO important is the fact that it shows
the means Stensland used when ne
wanted more money for his various
schemes.
Indictments for conspiracy will lie
against the men who acted as dunn
mics for the absconding president ac-
cording to lawyers who examined the
deeds.
