 The recitation made a hit and more than 20,000 fan letters were received within a few days-over three-quarters being in favor of more Swedish dialect stories. "Wam- pus' now spends his time reading children's books and turning them around into Swedish dialect, being the first radio broadcaster to recite in this form. For variation, he plays the accordion and the saXophone, but it is the Swedish stories which arc rapidly carrying him to the Boston, Springfield and Hartford broadcasts "Wampus" every Tues day, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and there is strong possibility that the National Broadcastins chain will pick him up by request of the thousands of radio owners sprinkled throughout the country.

National had set off the burglar alarm to enable the burglars. in the excitement, to rob the rival Franklin Provident.
 Also, John J. Gallop, of the Franklin Prevalent, was at the First National, attracted by the alarm, and offering help to General Thurber.
 Try the other side It would be natural for John J.. Gallop to show himself at the First National during the excitement to supply an alibi if he were involved in the robbery of his own bank.
 He could have faked the robbery in advance, so as to have been on hand at the First National
 He could have bribed someone or hired an outside expert to set off the alarm, which could be done easily in score of different ways and places in the bank.
 And, most important of all to consider, it was a known fact to the Thurbers that Gallop's bank could not pay the interest they did without taking it from the principal, and a smash was inevi- table.
 Thad Thurber figured it this way and within a week his detec- tives trailed Gallop, found where the money was cached and brought him and the money back.
