When a sense OF personal aCQuain-
lance gets across the footlights, as it
sometimes does. the result is something
like the feeling OF audiences toward

Daniel Voorhees, Pike in The Man
From Home" which comes to the At
lanta Tuesday and Wednesday nights,
with Wednesday matinee. Officially,
Mr.. Hodge is a man from Indiana Still
his drawl and nasal tWang can be asso-
Ciated with several other regions where
the Yankee strain is pure. He might
come for that matter, from Missouri.
as his inquiry of the heroine suggests
at the fall Of the curtain at the end of
the third act. or he might come from
New Hampshire. The point is that,
whatever his place Of nativity, he is
like somebody else.

body of a man, identified by papers in
his pockets as w. E Overstreet, Of

from one coach to another he lost his

PRELIMINARY HEARING BEFORE
U. S. COMMISSIONER MOSELY
Shortage Was Fully Covered By Guar.
anty Bond Made by Title Guaranty
and Surety co.-Deputy Todd Took
Cloy to jackson This Morning.

considerable interest DEVELOPED this
morning when it became generally
known that U. S. Deputy Marshall
f!Eodd had last night arrested and COM
mitted to the County Jail James R.
Cloy, under a charge preferred by the
the United States District Attorney for
the Southern District of Mississippi.
The charge against him is embezzle-
ment of funds from a National bank:
hence the young mans case will come
before the United States courts. Mr..
Todd left with his prisoner over the
north bound G. & S. l. train this
morning, and the preliminary hearing
will be before Commissioner Mosely at
Jackson.
Mr.. Cloy had been in the employ of
the First National Bank of Commerce
In this city for several years, having
shown himself worthy of the several
promotions received by him during his
service with the Bank.
Up to February 1st, this year. and
Tor some time past, he filed the posi-
tion of exchange teller. On the date
last mentioned, the young mans con-
nection with the bank was severed.
Subsequent to this, his books were
carefully re-checked and Irregularities
were discovered. The bank officials
at once reported the facts to the Conn
troller of the Currency, and reouested
that an examiner be sent to verify
their discovery and pursue the matter
further if that officer thought neces.
sary. A special auditor from the De.
partment of Justice was sent down,
and at once went fully into the matter.
with the result that he verified the
banks discovery; thereupon steps were
taken resulting in the arrest of young
Cloy as above stated.
The shortage as shown amounts to
$S,493.13 and is fully covered by the
$4,000 guaranty bond held by the bank
for the young mans fidelity. The Title
Guaranty and Surety Company of
Scranton, Pa, made the bond in this
case, and as it was promptly advised it
will doubtless make immediate settle
ment of the defalcation. The prompt
action of the bank officials shows com
mendable zeal and efficiency on their
part, in so promptly discovering the
shortage through their own system of
checking; likewise their action In
promptly requesting the government
to verify their findings.
