Chicago, July 25.-A statement that
the disappearance of Warren C. Spur
gin. president of the Michigan Avenue
Trust company which was closed by
bank examiners last week, was
planned in advance and came stimuli
taneously with the disappearance of
Spurgin's wife and daughter Vivian,
was made today by Ben Newmark,
chief investigator for the states attor-
ney's office. Doctor Newmark' S
statement came after an interview
with Herman Byler, university student
and fiance of Miss Spurgin. Accord
ing to Newmark's statement, Byler
said Spurgin confessed to the embeZ-
Element of sums of money to Mrs.
Spurgin some days previous to the
flight and also confessed to an affair

Byler said. Mr.. Newmark stated.
that he helped Mrs. Spurgin and Miss
Spurgin pack and arrange their house
hold goods for a long absence and
drove with them in the Spurgin auto
mobile to Gary, Ind, last Monday.
Byler received letters later from Miss
Spurgin from Niles City, Mich, New
Buffalo, Grand Rapids and Jackson.

found in a garage. In each of the let
ters Miss Spurgin spoke of the high

ly along the Canadian border, the net
which is being thrown out for Spur
gin extended today to other sections
of the country. 1t was expected that

his indictment asked.
Discovery in Detroit of an automo-
bile owned by Mrs. Spurgin and evil
dence that the wife of the missing
banker and her daughter were in De-
troit a day or two ago, has led to the
belief that Spurgin has fled toward
Canada and that his wife and daugh-

possible whereabouts, was report
