most anything in the way of a fall or

His Life.

Frank Kowalski, paying teller of the
Milwaukee Avenue State Rank at Chi
cago, which failed last Monday, and
for some time assistant receiving teller
in addition to his other duties, shot
and killed himself Friday night at his
home, $40 North Carpenter street.
Chicago. Criticism by the ~neighbors
and lifelong friends who accused him
of a share in the downfall Of the bank
is believed to have driven Kowalski
to his death.
Kowalski had complained bitterly OF
the suspicion of his friends and de-
clared that unless his character was
speedily cleared he would take his
own life.
Kowa1skI's relatives assert their
firm belief that h was innocent OF
any knowledge of the mismanagement
C< the bank by President Stensland.
When the bank failed kowaIski had
800 of his own money on deposit in
the institution and his immediate
relatives nearly $50, 900. Had the tell
err known of Stensland's d~cfalcati0ns,
they assert, he would at least have
notified his relatives and would have
taken his own money out of the insti-
tuition.
The dead teller, who was 80 years
of age, had been with the ban for
thirteen years.
While the search for Paul o. Stems
land, the missing president, is being
extended to all parts Of the country,
Cashier Herring, who was arrested
Thursday, spent Friday with the states
representatives and Bank Examiner
Jones in examining the banks collat-
eral in an effort to determine how
much the president is short in his ac-
counts. After an all days search
forged notes a~ggregating more thai
$500, 600 were found and are now in
the possession of the states attorney,
who Will use them in the prosecution
of the officials responsible for their
utterance.
From a statement issjued Friday by
Herring regarding loans made by
Stensland as banker to himself and the
shortages found by previous inveSti-
cations 1t is asserted that when n final
adjustment of the affairs Of the bank
is made it will be found that President
Stensland's defalcations will aggregate
nearly ~$2,000,0O0. =
