border, but changed his plans and
went to Shreveport via New Orleans.
Thru w. r. Messell. a nephew, Jae-
decke was introduced to a Shreveport
bank as Sam Jones and, it is said,
drew numerous drafts on a st. Paul
bank. The st. Paul fund is said to
have been arranged by Jaedicke be-
fore he left Hanover. Messell, who is
declared to have aided Jaedicke while
in Louisiana, was employed in the
Shreveport bank which carried the
Sam Jones" account for Jaedicke.
Bring Him to Kansas.
: Immediate steps are to be taken to
bring .Jaedfcke back to Kansas. It is
the belief of numerous bankers that
| the Hanover man will make a CONF
plete confession, giving details of h S
Operations. At. present peace officers
and detectives who aided in securing
| the bankers arrest, are quarreling re-
garding division of several small re-
wards. A deputy sheriff from Wash

with q. warrant and extraIfitien for re-
turmoil Jaedieke tosthis state.
| 1t is apparent that Jaedicke's rela-
txes in the south gave him every as
sistanee. But this assistance only
tended to1hasten the day of the flee
i ing bankers arrest. 1t was when
| western Union detectives learned tina
Messelr and Jaedicke were related that
mystery surrounding the Sam Jones'
account suddenly cleared. The new
Sam Jones in Shreveport had became
an accepted citizen in good standing
and his remarks regarding establish
ment of new business in the city
brought encouragement from his
banker.
! ''Sam Jones' Had Money.
It was apparent that Sam Jones'
was man of standing. Numerous
drafts deposited for collection with
the Shreveport banw had been paid
promptly, by the st. Paul banH
which indicated by wire that Jones
had deposited a large sum to his
credit. ta-za
