POLICE SEEK SUSPECT
IN BIG BANK ROBBERY

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 11.-Upon the
receipt of kilograms from San Fran
cisco early this morning the local DO
lice and the Pinkerton detectives be-
gan a search of Los Angeles for AL
bert Anderson, believed to be the
fourth member of the gang which on
September IA blew the safe of the
Bank of Montreal at New Westmin-
ster, B. c., and escaped with $271 900
in Canadian bank notes. The police
of San Francisco are likewise combing
that city, and the arrest of Ander-
son, it is predicted today, will take
place within a few hours.
The advices stating that Anderson
was either in San Francisco or had
escaped by train CT automobile to Los
Angeles came as the result of an all
night search of San Francisco last
night. 1t was then practically de-
clared that the hunted man is in this
city, though the search in the north
will not be abandoned.
Another point that the detectives
have learned is that there is some
one in San Diego whom it is vitally
important for Mrs. Hoffman to see
Despite the iacJ that she knew she
was under surveillance it was learned
last night that she had suddenly de-
parted, leaving a great number OF her
possessions in the house on West
Twenty fifth street near Vermont occu
pied by herself and Hoffman. With
detectives at her heels she took a
train going south.
Fear Of her own arrest is credited
by the detectives with having caused
her sudden departure. she has lost
her head now and everything she will
do in the future will aid us greatly
We could have arrested her at any
time, but we wanted to get her rat
tied and run. Now it is simply ne
cessary for our men to follow hel
and get the other man. Superintend-
ent Hatch said this morning.
Mr.. Hatch declared he had no knowl
edge of two young girls said to be
/ living with Mr.. and Mrs. Hoffman
''If they were there our detectives
have no knowledge of it," he said
One thing the detectives are Ger
tain of, and that is that but a small
amount of the money stolen from the
Canadian bank has been changed te
| American money.
