FITZGERALD RELIEVED.
No Trace Of $4,000 from Chicago
Sub treasury.

Chicago. Feb. 27.-George w. FitZger-
aid, the teller in the sub treasury. from
whose cage $4,000 disappeared. has
been given an indefinite leave of alb
sence by the authorities of the sub
treasury. 1t is said that Fitzgerald has
worried so much since the shortage
came to light, that it was considered
best to relieve him from work until ne
was. in a measure, recovered from the
nervous strain.
Sub-Treasurer William Roldcnwcck
announced that Deputy Assistant
Treasurer BantZ had completed his ex-
animation of the books of Teller Fitz-
gerald and had proven beyond a doubt
that the $173, 900 which is missing was
stolen. There is no mistake in Fitz-
gerald's accounts and the error cannot
be accounted for.
THE money stolen was in large bills
and Mr.. Fitzgerald was the only man
in charge of these large bills. We have.
however, no clue to the person who
took the money!

to it.

purpose Of having & criminal operation
performed, told the story of ByWatcrs
attempted flight, his sudden breaking
away from her in her bedroom and the
shooting rs he sought escape through
a window and over the roof of the
porch.
Both the sister and brother. who were
called to the witness stand, testified
that there was no thought of the shoot
