to take out some bills to put in the
drawers in his desk. A moment later
he staggered out and fell into chair.
He was not able to speak for mo-

him. thinking he had an attack of
heart failure, to which he was sub
ject. He announced, when he got con-
troll of himself, that there was no
money in the vault, but he. did not say
that there had been robbery.
