Called to See Former Wife Before

When Willard II. Myers. the alleged
absconding bookkeeper of the National
SAFE" Deposit, Savings and Trust Com
pany. furnished security in the sum of
$1,000 yesterday afternoon he was
promptly released by the United States
marshal. He returned to police head
quarters. where he had surrendered
himself into custody the night before,
and was given his belongings. From
headquarters he went to the home of
his brother. Edward T. Myers. and will
probably remain there until his case is
called in court.
Myers reached this city early Friday
evening and passed police headquarters
on his way to the northwest section of
the city. He went to the residence of
Detective Estes. 1889 Irving street, to
see Mrs. Myers. not knowing she had
obtained divorce from him. When he
reached the house he asked for Mr..
Estes, but was told that the latter had
gone to police headquarters. He saw
and conversed with his divorced wife.
his daughter and Mrs. Estes. mis- sister
in-law. The advice given him was that
he go to police headquarters. surrender
to Detective Estes and take his punish
ment.

Visit to Police Headquarters.

Leaving the Irving street house. Myers
proceeded to police headquarters. His
unexpected appearance almost unnerved
the detective.
What in the world are you doing
here?" Mr. Estes asked.
Myers inquired If Estes would take a
package to Mrs. Myers. and the de-
tectlVe said he would. Estes then in
formed the caller that Mrs. Myers had
obtained divorce during his absence
and he said he had been so Informed
when he called to see her
The detective informed Myers that
there was only one thing he could ex
pect when he surrendered. and that was
a cell, explaining, however, that he
might obtain release on bail. ;. t that
time Myers had not the slightest idea
of giving bond for his appearance. He
had only 81 in his pocket and ne felt he
was without friends. Information that
his wife had procured a divorce having
made him feel that he did not care very
much what became of him.
During the time Myers was away from
the city, he stated. he was mostly In
the big eastern cities. principally New
York and Boston. He lived economi-
cally and did but little work In his
efforts to keep out of the hands Of the
police he told friends he had many mar
row escapes. almost losing his lie upon
one occasion. That time he said. a
horse ran away with him. and he spent
some time in a hospital, and sew

Signs of Nervousness.

Dodging the police did not have a
beneficial effect on his nervous system
and thousands of times while he was a
fugitive. Myers stated he expected he
would be caught. Even after he en-
tered police headquarters last Friday
evening Myers showed signs of extreme
nervousness, constantly turning at the
approach of persons in the building and
seeming to fear one of them would grab
him and place him in arrest before he
could have ii recorded on the Dlotter
that he had surrendered. Almost all of

been repaid. His house was taken by

planned. his portion of the undivided
estate of his father was also appropri
ated, leaving him practically nothing.
Myers explains he will take his pun
ishment and will afterward make an
effort to restore himself in the good
graces of his friends. He may be ar
ragned next week. 1t is stated that
when he called at the Irving street
house last Friday night he was given
kind treatment but was assured that
the law had separated him from his
wife forever. Myers is an expert book
keeper. and his friends will probably
see that he gets employment o. some
