Friends Think Young CASH
Ter is Now on Aboard a
Tramp Steamer
HOLDS HIGH REGARD
FOR ENGLISH SERVICE
Failing to Catch Norfolk
Steamer. Thought to Have
Made for the Port of
Baltimore

To satisfy a craving to join the
British navy and also to decrease the
chances Of his capture. Louis L. Greg
DRY, alleged eembezzler OF about sal.
600 from the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway Company, is now aboard a
tramp steamer. 1t Is believed by his
friends in this city, crossing the At
lantic Ocean to England to enlist in
His MaJesty's service.
1t Is pointed out by friends OF the
missing cashier that he has been fire.
qnently heard to express great admit
ration for the British navy and a.
desire TO serve an enlistment IN that
service. This has been noticed FREE
quently OF late and since the disap-
pearance OF Gregory has been freely
commented on.
Facts unearthed since Gregory van
ished comedies with the theory that
he left Richmond to serve in the
British navy, and probably is now
crossing the big pond In the guise Of
an able bodied seaman on tramp
steamer. Further investigation may
lead the police to cable the British
authorities. requesting that tramp
steamers arriving In English ports
from Baltimore be searched.
Gregory's motive In going to the
O'Clock on the night OF his disap-
pearance has long puzzled the police.
Why no should have chosen that spot
to deposit the farewell note to his wife
Is q question they could not answer.
Missed the Boat.
Now It Is believed he boarded the
Main street car for the Old Dominion
dock with the intention of catching
the night steamer to Norfolk, where
he would have little difficulty in ship
ping on a tramp bound for England
The conductor who saw Gregory said
he boarded the car at ten minutes
before o'clock. and therefore the
missing cashier arrived at the dock
too late 10 catch the boat.
He than returns7 to the business
section Of the city and spent the night
In reveiry. awaiting the early hours
OF morning when he boarded train
for Baltimore. where he also would
have little difficulty in getting aboard
a tramp steamer. That he went to
Baltimore has now been ascertained
beyond doubt
Dispatches from the Monumental
City say Gregory was seen at a race
track in that city and that he stop
ped there for several days at well
known hotel. 1t Is believed he lin
gered In Baltimore several days,
amusing himself with the large
amount of money In his possession
until he could procure a berth on
an English bound tramp. Little Gre
dence is given the supposition that
he left Baltimore for Canada TO visit
the big game region for "a period of
hunting.
Await Developments.
Having requested the police OF other
cities to spread their nets for the
fugitive. the Richmond police are un-
able to do more than await develop
ments and pick up any stray infor-
nation which might come their way.
