William p White. a juror, asked Mr..

cause Mr.. Kelley assured him that the

Many Experts Here.
Few Wilmingtonians realize the
unusual interest that is being taken
/ by the Government in the case Of
George d. Kelley and the attempts
that are being employed in trying to
solvc The mystery regarding a dis
! crepancy OF $4,000 that appears on
the bank books. Mr.. Kelley is charg-
ed with making false entries in the
books of the bank and also making
/ false reports OF It's financial condi-
tion to the Comptroller OF Currency
There is no allegation that he has
embezzled a penny Of the moAey of
the bank. but the experts have testi.
fed on the stand that a correct ac-
count OF the bank shows that there
is shortage of more than s1S,-
600.
That the government is leaving no
stone unturned is shown by the num-
ber of experts, some OF which are
among the greatest in the country in
their line, which it has had working
on the case. Several of these men
have been prominent witnesses in
cass Of national reputation.
Among them are George w. Stork, an
expert accountant. of the Department

important witnesses in the Walsh case

From matinee idol, the handsome
romantic hero of feminine playgo RS,
to the sternest, most powerful
tragedian the American stage has
known in late years, has been the
curious evolution OF Robert B. Man
tell, who will be seen at The Play
house all of next week, during his
thirty years on the stage CT the new
world. Mr.. Mantell, in his very
earliest days, received severe
training in the classics with touring
English companies, but his handsome
face and figure and his deep, rich
voice soon forced him, through
managerial dictates. into the ro-
mantle roles so popular on the Eng
lish stage before the advent of the
problem play" II was in this epoch
Of his career that he came to America
making his New York debut with
Fanny Davenport in Fedora"
Veteran playgoers who saw Mr. Man
tell on the opening night Of his New
York engagement declare he was the
handsomest sight the American stage
has ever known" This first nights
success apparently settled Mr.. Man
tells fate, and he was hailed as the
greatest romantic actor on the Amer
lean stage. Mr. Mantell disliked the
term. matinee idol" and his native
intelligence revolted at the thought
Of spending his days merely posing
for the admiration of feminine play
goers. Enormous salaries kept him
in the romantic hero roles for a time,
but there finally came a chance for
him TO break away from such roles,
and follow his inclinations to become
a tragedian eminently worth while.
Those who have seen Mr.. Mantells
Othello, King Lear, Richard III and
similar roles known how successful
he has been in realizing his ambi-
tions.
