CHARGED WITH BIG THEFT
Former Teller of Chicago Subtreasury
Under Arrest.

Chicago Sept. 16.-George w. Fitz-
gerald, former asserting teller in
the chicago subtreasury, is under ar
rest charged with the mysterious theft
of $4,000 from the subtreasury on
Feb. 10, 1907.
Fitzgerald was arrested on bench
warrant based on an indictment re-
turned secretly by a federal grand
jury Feb. II, 1910, and the existence
of which was suppressed by the fed
eral authorities.
Three days after the indictment
was secretly returned and suppressed,
on Feb. 20, it was announced that the
statute of limitations had operated to
stop possible criminal action in the
peculiar case.
Coincident with this ruse by the
authorities secret service men were
detailed to watch Fitzgerald constant
ly and make a rigid investigation of
the former teller's financial interests
and affairs.
Discoveries made by these secret
service operatives resulted in the or
der for Fitzgerald's arrest.
