keeper had entirely lost his head. He
became consumed with the reckless
ness Of desperation.
In the meantime the Gatewood wom-
an had moved to New York. Also Toll
man had become deeply enamored
with her. So fond was he Of her COM
pany, as q matter of fact, that he
would often turn over to Kelliner and
Mansfield and other of their friends
the money with which to gamble. while
he visited with Miss Gatewood. The
members of the gang would go to some
gilded restaurant and dine sumptuous-
ly and return to Tollman and report
that luck had been against them, and
that they had lost all the money. On
such occasions the profits of the eve
ming were almost clear to the gang. On
such occasions, so the members OF the
train crew back to Boston reported,
big Bill" Kelliner would sob out his
apparent grief, because of his losses.
on the shoulder of Tollman. The lat
ter was thus placed in the role of
comforter. Kelliner would swear never
to gamble again and make his pro-
testations so earnestly that Tollman
would become the aggressor and urge
his associate on and paint pictures Of
luck ahead. So adroitly did Kelliner
play this game that Tollman had been
heard to threaten to break with him
because he was piker.
For two years this arrangement con-
tinued. Kelliner, Mansfield, Walls,
the Gatewood woman, and other accom-
plices, maintained themselves as de-
coys that induced the young bookkeep-
err to draw even more checks against
his personal account and always ex-
tract these and charge them where
they were least likely to be missed.
Despite his long carouses at night
Tollman never failed to be at the bank
in time to open the mail and extract
the checks that would have betrayed
him. Despite the loss of sleep he was
never so dull that he neglected any
detail in his bookkeeping that would
have caused his accounts to fail to
balance or to show any irregularities
that would have caused the bank ex-
aminer to grow suspicious. Unsus-
pectingly the stern old bank of Balm
bridge stood with unruffied front until
it became but financial skeleton, its
last spark of vitality wasted away.
But this young bookkeeper of the
gambling mania! What became Of
him? Those other aiders and abetters
to his crime! What action was taken
in their case?
Special Agent Billy Gard eventually
had in hand a complete understanding
of the individuals and the methods
that were associated with this case.
He had reached the necessity of max
ing arrests.
Kelliner was taken into custody.
He Indignantly protested that he was
innocent of any criminal wrongdoing.

was Of first Importance.

With confidence in the old detective
theory of the woman, the special
agents applied II again in the case
OF Walls, the one-time gambler on
Transatlantic liners. This was not
done, however, until several suspected
individuals in different cities had been
shown not TO be the man wanted, and
