clerical error The banks books were
examined by experts. Meanwhile the
loss was kept an entire secret to the
public. Very few people outside OF
the officers of the bank knew of the
loss SO the matter ran along for
some time. The Pinkerton National
detective agency was employed.
The United States authorities also
became interested in the case, AID
Ralph II. Daughton, a government
secret service man, came to Rich
mond, working with the local Pinker-
ton men on the case. Every employe
of the bank was questioned Brad

Questioned Many Times.

The case aroused no little interest
and Bradshaw was several times taken
in hand by the Pinkerton superinten-
dent and questioned, but each time
denied having any knowledge OF the
disappearance of the money,
Relieving that only by gaining his
confidence would the mystery be
solved. Superintendent Erb, of the To-
cal branch of the agency, put col
ored operative in the Park Building
as porter. He worked side by side
with Bradshaw, finally gaining his
confidence. Occasionally he would
report his progress TO Mr.. Erb, each
time telling of some little incident
that drew him more ana more INTO
the confidence Of Bradshaw.
