the cashier leave with a satchel sad
yesterday that they did not notice a
shoe box in his possession. The police
are of the opinion that when he Went
out for luncheon he took some OF the
money. placed il in the box and lett
the box where he could get 1t en-
route TO the trolley station, taking the
remainder in his satchel when he de-
parted Just before o'clock.
All doubt that the blonde young
woman who divides interest with
Cornelius had gone with him seemed
to be dissipated yesterday in the lack
Of news from her. Her mother, Mrs.
Mary Adelgais, is convinced that they
are together Because of the shame
which She feels her daughter has cast
over the family, Mrs. Adelgais yes
terday refused 20 say anything.
Mrs. Adclgais is widow. Her
husband was a tailor. He was burned

farm about two miles from the centre
Of Rochelle Park, which is about SIX
miles from Englewood.
Stenographer Was Discharged.
In the light Of various disputes as
to the pulchritudinous charms OF the
Young woman, it is. not judiclous 10
set down here as a fact that she IS
pretty. II is. however. indisputable
that in the eyes of Cornelius she Is.
For five years she was his stenographer
in the bank. and when, two months ago,
she was displaced, either because Of
the cashiers attentions or the desire 10
pet a male stenographer who could as
sist at the books, Cornelius sought
work for her Three weeks ago he
placed her with the Englewood Board
Of Trade. with which Cornelius was
connected.
Though Cornelius attended the
Observation-Disclosures Church he was not,
strictly speaking, pillar, and his social
activities were not spicuOus. HIS
salary was $1,000 d year. In addition
to that he received, each Christmas a
bonus Of about $3.50. He had small
hank account in the local trust com

A few months ago he had house butt

the cashiers departure.

Huckin. of Hackensack, went to the
bank Yesterday morning and talked
with Clinton II. Blake, the president
Both men said no charges have been
made against Cornelius.
Il think it will be a matter first Tor
the attention Of the federal authori-
ties" Mr.. Blake said 1--WE have not
completed our investigation in the
bank. though there is no doubt that
$1,000 is all Cornelius took. So far
as checks are concerned, we wired all
our bank correspondents 10 hold up
any paper bearing Cornelius's sigma
turC.
1t is hard to believe that the man
has done this fully expected that
he would return by last Saturday with
the money and confess that foolish
infatuation mad caused him to slip
But the situation has changed now
and should he offer to return the
money under promise that we would
