Chicago.-The story Of the pursuit
and capture of Paul O. Stensland,
president of the wrecked Milwaukee
Avenue State bank, is one OF the
most dramatic in the history OF those
all too frequent events. Traced from
this city to Tangiers, Morocco, he was
apprehended there by Assistant
States Attorney Olsen, who was ac'
companied by a representative OF the
Chicago Tribune. Not less interesting
is Stensland's account of the circum-
stances leading to the wrccking OF
the bank and the despoiling OF thou
sands of depoSitors OF the poorer class
OF the savings 0! their lifetime. Told
in detail by the Tribune representative
the story Is as follows:
It was the old story Of woman
scorned that led to the finding OF
Stensland's trail. One Of his numerous
friends who thought she had been
shabbly treated put the authorities
In possession OF the first hint as to
the fugitives whereabouts. Her infor
nation was indefinite, but inyestlsa
tlon proved It's probable accuracy.
Finally, on August 10. 1t became
certain that no was in Tangier and
had been for l6 days. The facts were
laid before States Attorney Healy
He was asked II he could send a.
man with a representative of the Tri.
bune to an unknown destination,
where it was expected to find Stems
land or his trail. Mr.. Healy accepted
the proposition and Assistant state s
Attorney Harry Olsen was ordered to
meet the representative Of the Tribune

Gaurant's inquiries, said he came from
America, and when further questioned
as to why he carried money in such
shape and had no letter of credit, said
he thought he would get the worst Of
exchange and concluded it was best to
carry currency.
Stensland soon became a conspicu.
Gus figure in Tangier. The Oriental
hotel stands just between the Mosque
Dramakebir and the Cafe Franchise.
Stensland gave the mosque the cold

bird. His trousers were soon in rib

made cruel cuts in his legs and the

he would not go voluntarily.
AS matter of fact, we had no legal
right to stop Stensland. Technically
VIC were guilty of kidnapping and the
situation began to look serious. The
American minister could not order
Stensland' sarrest until he had received
Instructions from Washington. These
had SeeH cabled for the night before,
but had not arrived. If Stensland had
only known this he could have walked
out and told us 20 go to blazes. He
could not have escaped ultimately, but
he could have caused us lots of trouble
Just as we were about to take re-
course to argument and threats, tell

end OF the earth and capture him
eventually. salvation came from Min

American legation staff appeared with
q note from the minister saying If
had notified the state department he
would take the responsibility of de
