CAUGHT IN PHILADELPHIA
Sought by Detective Since April
Conveyed to Utica, N. Y, With.

PHILADELPHIA. July l9-Eluding the

wanted in Utica, y. Y. on a charge OF
embezzling more than SlO0,OO from the
Utica City National Bank. was betrayed
into the hands of detective here yester-
day by a woman and taken out of the
city to New York state before the local
authorities were aware Of what was go
ing on. His arrest is the reward of pa
thence and perseverance on the part of
Daniel j. kelIeher, a detective of the New
York Office of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION, who had spent many days on
the case. Lowery was a note teller in the
bank and disappeared last April while an
examiner was going over the bank books.
Woman His Correspondent.
When the police and private detectives
started to look for the missing man they
had nothing on which to work but Kel-
leher, in time, got a clue which led TO
several cities and then to Wilmington,
Del. He learned that woman was in cor
respondence with the former teller and
he spent many days in the Delaware city
before he learned her address and then
kept tab on her for nearly week.
Finally the detectives vigil was reward
ed. AS he was standing in an alley near
the woman's house Sunday night he
noticed her leave with a suit case in her
hands He followed her to the railroad
station and then into train for Phila-
delphia. Confronting her with the infor-
nation he had, he forced her TO tell
Lowerys address in this city.
Placed Under Guard.
That done he took the woman back to
Wilmington, leaving a guard to see that
she should not be able to communicate
with LOwery. Then he came here with
another detective. They stationed them
selves near a house on North 10th street
where the woman said Lowery was living
and were on guard about five hours when
the man they wanted came out. Stepping
UP to him, keleher told Lowery he was
under arrest. LoWery was stunned for
moment, but quickly recovered and
asked to be permitted to pack his suit
case.
Going back to the lodging house with
the two men, Lowery packed the suit
case and told the landlady that he was
going away with his uncle. He tried to
bluff me-" said the landlady after the ar
rest but / have been in the rooming
house business long enough to know that
he was under arrest. That uncle story Is
too Old
