D., Manville Hewitt Sprague, 44, was arrest here Friday at the request of = agent of the department of justice. Sprague, found living with his wife, formerly Miss Martha Burrus, a stenographer in the bank with whom he fled in May, 1927, when he said certain afiairs of the bank got j out of his control, declined to go into details of the trouble leading to his arrest or his flight. He indicated, however, that he will return without a fight to face the charges now Pending against him. “Now that they have me,” he said, “I am going to go back and face I feel that everything will come out all right. I understand that the charge is ‘missapplication of funds’ there is truth in that, | ei go ny details about it. The bank is a mily bank and I was associated. with my father and brother there. Loans Too Big “The charge of missapplication grew out of my loaning more money to certain firms than they vee ees to have. ‘Things been going on like that for some time Back and the whole matter had me worried almost to death. I wish now that I had stayed and fought it out but we often do the thing under strain that we would not do otherwise.

Which explanation was correct and Sprague’s whereabouts remained a complete mystery and if any trace of him was discovered it was not Public. Investigation of the affairs of the bank, however, ree vealed heavy shortages and these were made the basis for the ¢! which have been filed pad Sprague. The long-established solidity of the Sprague bank and the nence of Sprague and his fa! in the affairs of the state for years made the closing of the bank a sensational incident from the standpoint of many North Dakotans. slebs Feta Z i £; ES + Hae td Ei ‘| & g& AF z
