Teller Commits suicide.

Frank Kowa!ski, for FIVE years paying
teller of the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank in Chicago, which failed last Mon
day, shot and killed himself last night.
Criticism by neighbors aud friends, who
accused him of share in the downfall
OF The bank, is believed to have driven
Kowalski to suicide.
TIE acme Of his trouble was reached
Thursday night, when woman he had
| luowD for years accosted him on the
street and accused him of being RESPONSE
ble for the failure OF the bank. Speak
ing of the incident later in the evening,
Kowaski complained bitterly of the sus-
Ls,icions of his friends, and declared that
unless his chsrcter was speedy cleared
he would take fis own Lille.
Kowalskis relatives asserted their
, frm belief that he was innocent Of any
knowledge as 10 the mismanagement OF
the bank by President Siensland. When
lhe bank failed Kosalski had 500 OF
his own money on deposit in the in
s,lution, and his immediate relatives
had IN the bank nearly $50, 600. Kow-
sl4ki, who was 80 years old. had been
With the bank for Is years, beginning
50 Office boy.
After an a!l-day search forged notes
aggregating more than $500, 600 were
found, and are now in the possession of
lie States Attorney.
1t is said that when 6nsl adjustment
of the affairs of the bank is ma6e it will
be found that President Stensland's al
legged defalcatiOns will aggregate nearly
81, 900, 900.
After eight hours of searching qnes-
tions, Cashier Herring was taken to a
hotel Thursday night in the custody Of
detectives. The most sensational dis
covery was the turning up by Herring of
a private ledger kept by President Stems
land, in which was concealed $l9l OOO
Of savings bank deposits. This account
was kept a secret; was never included as
liability of the bank, and was never so
reported to the State auditor.
Another sensational book came to light
showing Stensland in a new rOIe-a sport
aud racetrack man. The book showed
that the missing president, in company
