IN DAY OF THRILLS
Capture Of Missing Teller Only
One of Features in North
Penn Bank Case

Announcement Of the arrest of FL
wood Strang, late yesterday after
noon. came as the dramatic finale to
a Gay of thrills for those interested in
the clearing up of the bank scandal.
Daniel F. Lafean, former state
banking commissioner, was arrested at
his home in York on a charge of mis-
demeanor in Office and held in $500 bail
for a hearing here on September 8.
Then Louis A. Michel. bank pEesi-

the directors, were the center of in o
tercst in a wordy legal battle between
J. Washington Logue. counsel for
Michel; John Lamon. counsel for Ga =
bell. and Joseph H. Taulane, assistant
district attorney.
The hearing of the two men was al
most forced to a standstll and the
president and director lost the center of
the stage when, just before Magistrate
Pennock held them in $40 900 bail each
word of Strang's arrest was flashed.

The dramatic whisper spread over
the hearing room. Michel and Gabel
both caught the report, and realizing
its import, made Inquiries. The hear
ing was hastily brought to n conclusion
then and the large amount of bail fixed
because of the incriminating evidence
unearthed by Mr.. Taulane's examina
ton.

details of the punitive expedition.
Before leaving, the general said an eff
fort would be mnde to pay the bandits
the $1,000 remaining of the ransom
money. for the aviators, although he did
not say just how this would be done.
Rumors of further bandit captures

Trouble Draws Crowd
The Bergdoll home was the object OF
curious remark by scores of motorists
this morning, who paused In passing 1t
to take a good look at the square stone
building with red tiled roofs, set in the
midst Of the finest estates in the neigh
borhood. .f -
Some of these same motorists, neigh :
bors of the Bergdolls, parked their cars
near the house on their way to bust
ness yesterday morning, and spentsthe
rest of the day standing on the side
walk in front of the house, waiting
minute by minute to see something
happen.
The small boys of Wynnefeid, most
of whom know the Bergdoll brothers,
watched and listened for him last night,
hoping that he might" try to slip into
cover at home again in the same dra :
matte fashion as the night before. .
