N. D. BANKER
Is FOUND In VIRGINIA

The world wide search for Manville
H. Sprague, former cashier of the
First National bank of Grafton, N. d.
ended last week when the much
sought for cashier was located by Z
S. agents under the direction Of De-
tective P. W. Adams. Sprague was
found at Norfolk, Va, where he was
found living with Martha Burris, for
merly of Conway, who served as
stenographer at the Grafton bank be-
fore it closed and who disappeared at
the same time with Mr.. Sprague,
year ago last May 7th. They have
been operating store at Norfolk on
the seacoast for the past year.
Mr.. Sprague has been in custody
since he was apprehended and from
late reports he is expected to arrive
at Fargo some time this week where
he will await trial in the federal
court. There is also a possibility that
he may be taken to Grafton for trial.
Miss Burris, who he claims is his
wife, is expected to return with him.
Charges against Sprague will CEN
ter on embezzlement of bank funds
and Juggling of bank statements.
There is also a likelihood he will be
tried under the Mann Act on charges
of transporting a woman from ono
state to another for immoral purpos-
es. His wife and two children are
living in Grafton and as is believed
has not obtained a divorce to enable
him to marry Miss Burris legally.
After being caught Sprague said:

go back home and face the music.

Sprague left Grafton on May z,
1927 with the idea conveyed to friends
that he would motor to the National
Guard school of instruction at Kansas
City. After two weeks no news came
from him and people of Grafton be-
gan considering the matter with the
result that a run" was about to be-
gin on the bank when F. H. Sprague,
the president of the bank and father
i to Manville Sprague, closed the doors
Of the institution to prevent the an
ticipated "run." This occurred on
May %, 1927.
Miss Burris, of Conway, the stenog-
rapher at the bank, had disappeared
at the same time as the cashier.
Since that time there has been a
great deal of rumor as to the where
