SHREWDEST SWINLDER OF

| NEW YORK, April Within the

date has not been made known-the
great doors OF Sing Sing prison will
swing open for the release OF Cor
nelius L, Alvord, jrs "the shrewdest

ed.
The Alvord defaleation was in many
respects the most sensational that
Wall street has ever known. When
the old First National Bank, noted
for its eonservativeness, came out
with formal Acknowledgement that
it had been robbed of 10000 by an
humble and ttle.considered note.tel-
Ter, New York fnanciers could hardly
believe the report, But it proved
true. Alvord- the most orderly per.
son imaginable at the bank was
found to have been living dual life.
For months and even years, as the
evidence at the trial showed, he had
been gambling at Saratoga so rashlv
as to attract the attention and admira
ton OF the old-timers at that noted
resort. He had maintained in a
trainers name. string OF race horses
Of his own. He had owned motor
boats and automobiles and had lived,
in short, at an average rate of about
500 day on a salary of $500 a yeas
To do this he had consistently and
Systematically robbed the bank for a
period Of about six years.
The exact way in which he stole
was never thoroughly revealed by the
bank officials. His peculations, they
said, were slilfully concealed by
clever manipulation Of his balance
books" That was as near as they
came to telling. The bank had sur
plus from which to make good the
losses, and the defalcation caused no
embarrassment to the big institution.
1t was on Oct. %. 1900, when bank
examiners appeared suddenly at the
First National and introduced them
selves to Alvord the note teller. who
had enjoyed most unusual confidence
and privileges at the bank Mr., Al
word smilingly greeted them, then ex.
cused himself and left the bank. He
was seen no more until arrested in
Boston six days later by detectives Of
Captain Nc Clusky's staff, He came
back without requisition, smiIingly ad-
mitted his guilt and was shortly after
ward sent to prison.
At Sing Sing he had clerical posi-
tion in the warden's office and has not
had to mix with the other prisoners.
His wife, it is said, has visited him
often, regardless of the rules that re.
strict visitors to other prisoners. He
has even had especial meals cooked
for him by another prisoner assigned
to the task, to whom he is said to
have paid s. a week.
Upon his release Alvord is expected
to return to his old home in the vii
lage Of Stockport to live. Mrs. Al
word has recently had built a coy
home in the hills near Stockport. The
villagers hint that Alvord was wise
enough to plant" a considerable part
of his defalcation, but this is denied
by his wife and other relatives Of the
man who is now soon to regain his
freedom after nearly ten years spent
behind the prison walls.

The DEATH RECORD.
HARRY FLOWERS.

Harry Flowers, son of the late Mr..
Selden Z. Flowers, and of Mrs. Sarah
Flowers, formerly of Oakland and
Mountain Lake Park, died last FRIDAY
afternoon at .l5 clock in St. Agnes
Hospital, Baltimore, Md, following a
difficult surgical operation which was
performed about two weeks ago. The
deceased had been suffering from hernia
for some time, and, as his general
health was good, he decided to undergo
a sUrgca! operation for relief from his
trouble. The operation was successful
and the patient seemed to be doing very
nicely until last Tuesday, when he was
suddenly attacked with hemorrhages.
From that time his condition continued
to grow worse until death came to his
relief, Mr.. Flowers moved with the
family to Baltimore about two years ago
where they have resided ever since.
He was converted about three years
ago during a revival meeting held in
the L. B Church, at Grafton, during
the pastorate Of the late Rev. Z. =.
Reese, and has ever since remained
true to his profession. He was an ex-
emplary young man and his death will
be generally regretted by all who ever
knew him. He was aged twenty four
years. The deceased leaves surviving
him a mother, one sister and three
brothers. The sister is Miss Mayme
Flowers, who resides with her mother in
Baltimore. The broth rs are: Messrs.
Orton of Illinois, Samuel of Morgan
town, and Herbert of Baltimore. The
remains We're brought to Oakland for
interment, and the funeral occurred
Monday at o clock p. m. The many
friends of the family sympathize very
deeply with them in their sad bereave-
ment The deceased was a nephew of
the late Perry KimmeIl, who is CRATE
fully remembered The funeral was
attended by number of friends and
relatives, including the mother, sister
and two brothers.
