Thus was the special agent able
from the outside to get very good
leads into the condition of the bank
and to determine the manner of its
footing when the facts might net have
been obtainable by an expert working
from the inside.
Cards case was about completed
and the department was ready to act
when the dramatic denouement came.
Arson, suicide and flight are the three
events most to be expected when the
funds of bank have been misappro-
priated. The young special agent was
watching for any of these at the time
of the anniversary party given by the
banker 1t was in preparation for
either that he watched so late on that
occasion.
On the afternoon which preceded
the entertainment Gard was working
over his books at the store and at the
same time keeping an eye on the
bank. An hour after closing time at
the bank he saw Compton come out
of the side door with two books of the
institution under his arm. He could
make out that one was loans and dis
counts He surmised that they might
be records that were to be destroyed
probably the books that showed his
guilt.
When from the hillside Gard that
night saw the silent car stop back of
the bank and the flames subsequently
break out, he knew what had hap
pened. These were accomplices of the
cashier who had probably looted the
bank of any remaining funds and, ac-
cording to agreement, had set it on
fire that the discriminating records of
the cashier might be destroyed. The
willy cashier. however, had made sure
that -he books that showed his guilt
would not be found, in case the plan
was not an entire success. He had re-
moved them himself. but had not as
yet destroyed them for he saw no
probability of coming under immediate
suspicion. Likewise had he neglected
to destroy certain correspondence that
later connected him with the parties
found to have committed the arson.
The books taken from the bankers
house were found to be the personal
ledger wherein should have been en-
tered deposits, and the loans and dis
counts ledger in which account Comp
ton had entered the amounts repre-
senting all his personal checks. This
latter was the account that had dwelt
in the mind of Newton, the bank ex-
aminer The letters that Gard had
found in the bankers pockets, though
unsigned and mysteriously phrased,
were later traced to the Dutch SHREDDER
gang. They proved a great aid to Nc
Cord, the plain-clothes man. who had
slept peacefully through all the clamor
incident to the burning of the bank,
but who, through them. was able to

Compton went to pieces when con.
fronted with the proof that his derelic-
tons had been found out. When his
townspeople came to know the facts
on the following day they stormed the
Jail and threatened to lynch him. So
determined was their onslaught that
the sheriff spirited the prisoner away.
In desperation he confessed his crimes
and exonerated torrance, the assistant

Washington, May 6.-Ernest Brunek-

dismissed today for making statements
derogatory to President Wilson and the
United States. He was formerly city
