hus a fugitive for IS years, who was finally
taken last April a tip from Cheyenne, Wyo.
He disappeared from Englewood, N. j., in July,
1915, where he had been employed for 10 years
as cashier of the Citizens National Bank. With
him went his former stenographer, Loretta
Smith, and, apparently Sill 600 in currency
found missing from the vault. He was 48 years
old, married and had three children. The
townsfolk knew him man of good habits,
thoroughly respected and trusted at the bank,
but subsequent investigation revealed short
age of more than $4500O
CIRCULARS, queries to American and foreign
police agencies, every measure to which
the national police" have resort in locating q
fugitive, were utilized in the attempt to locate
KorneliuS during the 15-year search. At times
he was reported in South America, the British
West Indies, Canada and England.
Finally, in April, 1880, the Department OF
Justice received another tip. 1t seemed far
fetched, but it was followed up. woman, 1t
was stated, by the name of Farwen was In the
State Hospital at Cheyenne who might be able
to throw light upon the case. Her health was
said to have been broken by her efforts to sup
port an invalid husband and several children.
Apparently she had no relatives She was myS-
teriously vague about her history.
Investigation of this clue revealed that the
woman was Loretta Smith, and that Kornelius,
since her health had failed had entered the
poorhouse. Upon being approached he readily
confessed his identity, waived removal proceed
ings, and returned to Newark, where he en-
tered plea Of guilty. The Federal judge hear.
ing the case was aware that Kornelius had
suffered severely for his rong-doingS. He ex-
pressed the opinion that any debt owned society
by the defendant had been paid. KoTneliuS
was given suspended sentence OF two yeaxS
and placed On parole
