Behind this simple question and the
concise reply made by Cornelius l.,
Alvord, jr., is the story of life wreck

The effort failed because the happi-
ness seemed attainable only through
one medium-money. The money was
obtained, but it brought not content

physical collapse. Yet by many OF
Alvord's neighbors he is looked upon
as happy. With a fine home. sur

says he has nothing.
Cornelius L. Alvord, jr., is the man
who stole nearly 100000 eight years
ago from the First National bank OF
New York. where he was employed for
years as a note teller. He was caught
and pleaded guilty and sentenced to
thirteen years in Sing Sing prison
He was released last year. having

Despite his own bitter experience

would not send out formal warning
to others who are in positions like
his. Even the case of Erwin Johann
Wider, cashier of the Russo-Chinese
bank, charged with embezzling $3.50,
900, did not move Alvord.

on one corner and Patrick was un-

wounds.
