PREACHER FALLS UNDER
LURE OF EASY MONEY.

With Guy Kyle, as years old, for
mer pastor of the Free Methodist
church of Mount Vernon, ILL.,, under
arrest and virtually all the money re-
covered, postoffice inspectors were
continuing their investigation into the
theft at Mt. Vernon, Jan. 18th of 81
packages of registered mail contain
ing S1S5,000 cash and $4,000 in Sc
curities. Developments early, howev-
er, convinced the inspectors that Kyle
carried the robbery singlehanded, it
was said, but further examination of
the former pastor was planned.
r. w. Hitchcock, one Of the three
inspectors who have been working on
the case, said this morning that zone
or two" men whom Kyle was alleged
to have implicated IN the theft, had
been questioned, but that nothing had
been discovered which would cause
them to be held.
No additional arrests are antici-
pated unless Kyle names others as
having been implicated, Hitchcock
said. The fact that his first purported
statement naming several accom-
plices," had been disapproved, howev-
err strengthens the belief of the Off
Gals that Kyle alone was involved, it
was explained.
After confessing that he had par
ticipated in the robbery and leading
the inspectors to one Of his two gar
ages where $4,000 more of the stolen
cash was recovered, Gyle. according
to Hitchcock, accompanied the Off
cials on a second trip that resulted in
the discovery Of SASS hidden in the
mechanism of an automobile he owns.
The inspectors spent practically the
entire night checking up the cash
which they recovered at Kyle's home
and in his two garages and It is be-
lieved thafless than $1,000 remains to
be accounted for.
Kyle salIeged to have told the Of

L. V. Nichols, president Of the L. V.
Nichols Oil Company, recently told
more than a thousand business men
in Omaha, Neb., that business will al
ways be good for the man who keeps
cheerful and smiling and who takes
pride and pleasure in doing the best
he can.
There is no argument for the fact
that bills are not being paid as
promptly as customary that the banks
are not lending money as freely as We
would like that the farmer is not get

that is what we all had to expect any

as if business bad gone to the dogs
and the country into the hands of a
receiver.

geous optimism, and once we devel-
op it, believe me when say, we will
discover very much to our surprise
that all business is good. thank you."'

ficials he burned the securities, fear
ing they might be possible clews that
would lead to his arrest in the event
he attempted to dispose of them.
Kyle's confession, inspectors said,
came after long examination during
which he steadfastly reiterated his in
nocence and had declared that more
than $4,000 found on his property
yesterday when he was arrested had
been placed there without his knowl-
edge.
The inspectors did not go into the
details of the robbery with Kyle when
he confessed, it was stated, being pri-
marily concerned with questioning
the men he had named as his accom-
plicese and checking up the money
that was recovered.
An angle which to-day's investiga-
tion was expected to develop was the
manner in which Kyle became ac-
quainted with the movement of the
mail in order to plan the robbery. He
has been held incommunicado since
his arrest.
The theft took place early in the
morning while the money was being
transferred from the postoffice in Mt.
Vernon, to the Chicago G. Eastern IL
linois depot for shipment to nearby
towns to meet mine pay-rolls.
