better make clean breast of every
thing that would aid the investigation,

said that the man in the taxi was named
Hensche, and that he resembled Wider.
He admitted that the ride was taken be-
cause he knew the Pinkertons and de-
tectives employed by the American Bank
ers' Association were watching for Wider,
and he wanted to see If they would fol-
low the taxi. He insisted that although
Mrs. Wider was in the cab her husband
was not. Ginsberg did not explain what
this deception was to accomplish.
After the lawyer had told his story Mr.
Mott questioned the chauffeur of the
taxicab. He said that although he could
not swear that the man told to beat it,
was Wider he certainly thought it was
he.

Wider as late as Friday last, and he
intimated that he knew where his client
was, but he did not tell. rumor was
current that the missing cashier was hid
ing in White Plains, and that the de-
tectives had him under observation, but
