FITZGERALD AGAIN ARRESTED
THE CHICAGO sUR-TREAsuRY
TELLER AGAIN ACCUSED.
Man Who Was Charged With Shortage
of $4,000 May Have Been
Trapped by Detectives.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-George W. Fitz-
gerald, at one time asserting teller OF
the sub-treasury, of Chicago, who was
arrested more than two years ago fol-
lowing the mysterious disappearance
of bank notes amounting to $173,0OO
and later released because of insuf'
ficient evidence, was again arrested
at his office, 1853 LaSalle street, by
United States marshals, charged with
the same offense.
Fitzgeralds arrest came as an abso'
lutte surprise and was the result OF
ruse by the government authori'
ties. He was taken before Judge
Lands, where his bond was fixed at
$4,000. In the absence Of his attor'
ney, Edward R. Litzinger, he was unr
able to furnish bail and was COM
mitted to the county Jail at 6 o'clock.
Fftzgeralds sensational arrest fur
nishes typical example of the federal
governments method in pursuing
criminals. Government secret agents
have been working continuously on
the case collecting evidence and keep
ing the suspect under surveillance
since his release by the state two
years ago. The indictment against
Fitzgerald was made. out February II,
last, two days before the statute Of
limitations expired, and was carefully
suppressed. On February 10 the
statute Of limitations was supposed to
have expired in his case and the mat
ter was widely heralded by the press.
From that moment an additional force
Of secret service men was assigned
on the case and every move by Fftz
gerald was watched, day and night.
Just what evidence the federal au-
thorities have found is being carefully
concealed, but It is known that as
soon as the statute of limitations ex.
pired Fitzgerald Immediately came
out from cover and began number
Of business ventures. He engaged in
operations on the board Of trade; be

ter Of time.
A number OF Kansas papers with
out understanding the situation of
the bank have jumped to conclusions
and have criticized the directors. This
is altogether unjust. The directors
of the Abilene State bank have been
among Abilene's best businessmen.
They looked after the banks interests
as carefully as it was possible to do.
They deposited their own money
there, one having over $4,000 in
his open account. The state bank
examiners checked over the bank
time after time and pronounced every
thing correct. On the examination
month ago this verdict was given
The directors on this occasion were
assured that every item had been
examined and they were asked to pass
on the notes. This they did and the
notes were approved by them. These
notes were good and are being receiy-
ed by the depositors as cash. The
bank commissioner says Flack's meth
DDS we're SO clever that it was i'm
possible for expert examiners to find
anything wrong-how could the d.
rectors be expected to do so? Mr..
Kruger, Mr.. Forney and Mr.. Hallam
pledged their personal estates to pro-
tect every depositor. They held the
credit of the bank intact. No de-
positor will lose a cent. They de-
serve all honor for this manly action
and they do not merit criticism. No
plan has ever been devised on this
earth that will effectively prevent the
work of the deliberate thief; this is
true in any business house and In any
affair of life. 1t is simply matter OF
when he is detected. In this in
stance a reputation for probity enab-
ied Flack to delay the climax-and
every person in town was as much
deceived as his business associates.
