sTENsLAND FOR MEXICO
Chicago Bank President Seen Yesterday

Journal Special Service.
Fort Worth, Texas, Aug. 11.-Paul O.
Stensland, the missing president Of the
Milwaukee Avenue State bank of Chi
cago was in Fort Worth yesterday, and
according to Henry V. Adams. who Is
q former commission broker Of Chicago,
is now on his way to Mexico.
Adams said that he had travelled all
the way from New Orleans to this CITY
In the same sleeper with Stensland and,
knowing .Stensland well. held several
conversations with the former banker.
Stensland was fleeing, and not until he
reached here did he know Of the bank 8
failure. Adams stated that stensland
appeared to be very nervous. attribut-
ing it to the intensely hot weather. He
told Adams that he was en- route to
Mexico on a pleasure trip saying that
he was positive the mountains Of that
country would aid his health. 80
~ When asked as to the condition Of
the Milwaukee Avenue bank, Adams
declared that Stensland said it was
never more prosperous and was one OF
the strongest institutions in the coun-
try. When Fort Worth was reached
Adams and Stensland left the train.
Stensland said he needed rest before
continuing the journey. He requested
Adams to wait in the lobby Of the sta
tion until he visited the baggage room
to inquire about trunk. Adams waited
but the banker failed to return. Local
detectives made search of all hotels
and apartment houses in the city for
Stensland but he had evidently made
good his getaway. 49,. --(

temple at his home lateyesterday after
noon after he had spent the greater:
part Of the day at the bank.
EARLY in the morning it was an
nounced that the total assets available
for the payment of the depositors
would bring the amount to something
over $l,O0O,000 This represented
about 33 per cent of the amount on
deposit. Later on, when the newest
defalcations of Stensland were made
public, this amount was decreased to-
100000, or about 20 cents on the
dollar, and 1t is more than likely that
5000, 900 will be the total amount re-
allied. ~. "a .[
The depositors will probably have to
be satisfied with about Is cents on the
dollar.
None of the notes discovered bears
the writing of one man alone. Much
of the caigraphy has been identified
as that of Stensland, but where the
notes are signed by the former presi-
dent the date, amount and other writ
ing necessary to complete the form is
in the writing Of another.
Dead Teller Cursed.
The feeling of some Of the depositors
in the defunct bank was SO great that
the dead teller was cursed as his body
lay in the parlor of his home today.
The wreath on the door or the home
was torn down and it's flowers scattered
by the angry men.

CHICAGO BANK WAS 1
A DEN OF FORGERS
Cashier Herring Said to Have Been Star
Penman---Stensland in Texas
TELLER Suicide.

Stensland did not prosecute him was
the cause Of much comment in the bank
at the time, but the reason therefor
is perfectly apparent to the institu-
tion IS employees now. ">t4#*
This man, they believe, had been do
ing a little penmanship for the presi-
dent and had presumed on the knowl
edge of his chiefs guilt to! do a little
stealing Of his own. Stensland couldn It
safety depended on silence. And, any
way, he had been frugal and saved a
good percent of his pickings.
~@ Now, however, the conditions have
changed and there is a chance, if the
suspicious of the employees prove cor
rect, that the man will have to face a
jury in the criminal court.
stensland's Early Venture.
stensland in the early days, when
he strayed from the path Of virtue,
was his own "Jim the penman.' He
did little if any original work-that is,
he made few free hand forgeries.
His scheme was to take a genuine
note, place 1t over a blank note ami
then, with stylus follow the lines and
curves on the blank note underneath.
which subsequently, he retraced twith
ink. On some notes there is evidence
of writing over lead pencil tracings.
Herring as Gambler.
Cashier Herring was known as ONE 81
the most prominent, gamblers In Chi
cago. Everywhere his word was az
good as gold. Gus Anderson, it Is said
took out from $4,000 to $4,000 a week
from the Milwaukee Avenue bank. An
derson was one of Hering's intimate
friends and main advisers. His place
which is notorious in the northwest
division, but which has never been dis
covered by the police, was frequented
by Herring, who placed some Of his
largest bets there. t--i==.
| The story is told that Anderson acted
as a clearing house for Herring. Every
week, it is declared, he went to the
bank and collected from $4,000 tt
$4,000. Herring always paid this money
In person, altho it was understood thai
others were interested in the betting.
II know it to be a fact,'' said 1
man yesterday who is in a position t.
get exact information, "that Herring
bet large sums on the races. Whether
the money was his own or not I All
not ready to say.''
