Detectives Find $1,190 Of
Stolen Bank Notes.
Believed Order Made Further
Confession and Told of
Hidden Money.

Inc government sleuthS who have
lost very little time in securing fur
Their evidence against William GFi-
der and others connected with steal
ing $1,000 in national bank notes
belonging to the Henderson National
Bank and who caused the arrest ~
Roy Rutledge, as being an acco0-
plice OF Order in disposing of some
of the notes, were again successful
Saturday, when they unearthed 81
1870 in bills, which we're found ON the
promises Of the Rutledge home in
Henderson.
1t has been the general belief for
several days that Postoffice Inspec-
tor Greenaway, who was in Owens
borO on Friday, was in possessipn
of further facts concerning the stoseu
bills, and within a short time further
developments would come out that
would cause more arrests to be made.
On Saturday Postoffice inspectors
Zimmerman, Greenaway. Robinson
and Jones, accompanied by DepueH
United States Marshal and jackson,
went to Henderson armed with .
search warrant, In an undertaking 70
find more Of the hidden money. The
warrant authorized the officers o
make thorough search Of the
premises Of John Rutledge, 2S0 SouEh
Green street, in that city.
While the inspectors did not state
it is almost certain that before they
went on the premises they had 8
clear 'dea as to where they would
find some OF the stolen money, eu-
IDENTIFY having been told by Gride1,
who it is believed has made full
confession of the whole affair. How
ever. this is denied by the inspectors,
who say that no such statement has
been authorized by anyone.
The inspectors went to stable IN
the rear of the Rutledge home and
soon located $1,190 in notes, which
were in a tin pail hidden under .
pile Of kindling. In the lot there
were 81 $40 bills AID II $40 bills.
each bearing the forged signature Of
X. H. Soaper. president, and c. A.
Katterjohn, cashier, Of the Hender-
son National Bank.
The money was taken charge of
by Inspector Greenaway. who. with
Inspector Jones. arrived In Owens
boro' on the 3:45 train Saturday af-
Both the inspectors made
another visit to the jail, and held .
short conference with Order, the
nature Of which neither gentleman
would disclose.
The finding of this money viii
complete the chain Of evidence
against Rutledge as an accomplice.
This makes $3.50 that the in
spectors have recovered. and aocosd-
Ing to the statement made by Gri-
der. is part of package containing
So, 500 which was stolen on January
10, 1914. The balance of this money
Is believed to have been squanderSi
by Order and Rutledge.
1t is not likely that the inspectors
will be able to secure any further
trace OF the remainder of the money,
rs a packase containing $3.50 was
stolen more than year ago. Order
and Rutledge made a trip to st.
Louis and it is believed they left a
large portion of the stolen bills In
hat city.
Rutledge, who is now in jail, Is
lenying his guilt. and his examining
rial is SGT for hearing before Coan-
missioner DIAN next Saturday. Gri-
ler admitted his guilt and was held
20 NM term OF Federal court short
" after he Was arrSsted.-Owens-
