BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 26. Police
would like to know exactly how A. A
(Jack) Drummond, rancher, Of Tulsa,
Okla, came to lose $91, 900 in a Loop
hotel
Drummond's story was that the
money disappeared from his hotel room
some time between Thursday night and
10 o'clock Friday morning.
The money was in bills of $500 and
81 900 and was carried in money belt,
he said. Contrary to his custom and
because he was 80 full of turkey he
took the belt off before retiring. When
he awoke, 1t and the money were gone.
Skeptical at first regarding the
amount involved, police said they were
convinced Drummond had lost the
money after Elmo Thompson, vice presi-
dent Of the Exchange National Bank OF
Tulsa. told them over the phone Drum
mond left there three weeks ago WIFE
$37, 500 in cash on him.
Drummond then told them he drew
out $4,000 more from the Kansas City
Fidelity Trust & Savings Bank. Later,
he said. he visited Pittsburgh, st. Louis
and Cleveland, coming to Chicago
Thanksgiving day.
The robbery theory was discarded by
police when they suggested the posi-
bility of Drummond having been the
victim of confidence men. He was
quoted as saying:
IF that mob got the money, officers,
forget the matter, for I'll get it back
better than you will"
THAT mob" Drummond disclosed.
