taneously with that of $4,000 Of his
employers money, was due either TO
illness or foul play, admitted yesterday
that evidence had been discovered to
unset that belief Pinkerton detectives
working with the police have learned
that Kindred had been loser at the
races and that on the day before his
sudden disappearance he was in such
financial straits that he WAS forced to
20 to a friend for money.
In addition 70 this the police have
learned that Kindred was frequenter
of roadhouses in the vicinity of New
York and a familiar figure in the
"high spots" of metropolitan gay life
It has been brought to light that ne
was very fond of giving supper parties
to friends of both sexes.
CAPTAIN William J. peevy, OF the
First Branch Detective Bureau who Is
in charge Of the investigation, fouted
tho report current yesterday that Kim
dyod was seen in PHILADELPHIA by a
New York business man last Wednes-
dav evening. He said that II would D.

Miss Lulu ONeil, twenty-three years
old. assistant cashier Of the Mason
Manufacturing Company, at hunter ;
Point. who lives al POI Jackson Avenue,
Long Island City, has told PlnKerton
detectives that she had been acquainted
with Kindred for more than a year
during which time he showered many
attentions upon her, which, she SAID
she had not appreciated because she
did not like the man.
The police also have the address OF
a Young manicurist who was employed
in a barbershop near l25th Street, and
with whom Kindred maintained an al
fair for some time. Other girl ac-
ouaintances of Kindred have been
found by the police, who refuse, how
ever. to make their identity pubic.
Word was received by Captain
Deevy from the San Francisco police
Yesterday that they were unable to To-
cate Kindred's father. who is supposed
to be practising law there. Nor has
any clew been found there which might
shed light upon Kindred's antecedents
previous to his arrival in New York
seven years ago.
Few letters and other documents
were found among Kindred's effects
when they were seized Saturday IN ms
bachelor apartment at $50 West l63d
Street. The police are inclined TO the
belief that Kindred had reason for
hiding his past, and that the absence
of any documents which might tn. ow
light upon it was part of carefully
laid scheme to leave his pursuers with
out a clew.
William A. Finn, through the Pink
erton Detective Agency, offered $500
Yesterday for Kindred's apprehension
1t is rumored in Long Island City
among acquaintances of Kindred that
he had purchased a new automobile
Just before he left, and that he had
this car near at hand when he aban-
doned the one in which he drove to the
bank to get the firms money.
