WIFE T0 DEFEND WOLF N THEFTS Plans Future as He Faces Charges of Taking $3,- 666,000 From Bank. Special Dispateh to The Star. CHICAGO, September 23 (N.AN.A).| ~—This is a story of & woman's faith, loyalty and fortitude rising above & e aster, with confidence that victory over | all reverses eventually will come, It is| the story of the family life of Walter E. | ‘Wolf, who became involved in' the se- | curities of the Continental Illinois Bank & Trust Co. to the extent of $3,666,000, | yet Who never, so far as can be ascer- | tained, spent a dime of it upon himself. | The key which unlocks the whole | dramatic story lies in the remark Mrs. | Wolf made when the news of the trag- | edy reached her. “I'll stay by you to| the end,” she told, her husband.. That | she has done. Mrs, Wolf is a person of unusual per- sonality and beauty. A tall woman, she appears to be of the athletic type, al- | though she has never gone in for sports, | She wears her dark hair long, done low | upon her neck. She dresses very simply, always in colors that are quiet and in good taste. She prefers the straight lines that accentuate her stateliness. Had Church Romance. ‘Their romance was one built up large- | ly through association in church choirs | and Sunday schools. Chicago's West | Bide was the setting of their early ac- | quaintanceship. | ‘Those who knew Wolf as a young | man tell of his interest in athletics. | basket ball, the Y. M. C. A. and| the church. He went to business | college, ~and immediately _started | work—27 years ago—as an office boy | for the oid Illinois Trust & Savings Bank. So much did the bank officials think of him that, though starting as office boy and working up as clerk, tel- ler and head of the coupon department, he was carried through all the mergers and always advanced. Like a parallel current runs the #tory of the young girl with old-fash- joned dreams of a lover, marriage and & life devoted to family, church and community. They were known to every one by their first names, 75 & Week Highest Salary, ‘There was a church wedding, then Bfe in & small apartment in Austin. ‘Walter's salary—it never ran above $75 & week, when he was in charge of mil- lions of dollars in negotiable securities and he had many persons under him— ‘was frugally administered. Fourteen ye go they were mar- ried, and one daughter was born to them, now 13 years old. Their dream, of course, was of a house and yard, so nine years ago they moved to River Forest, renting & plain, substantial | home of cement blocks—very humble | among the handsomer places all about— but with a large yard. | Mrs. Wolf remained thrifty, ambitious and devoted. Even neighborhood ai fairs interested her only nominal Her outer contacts were with her rela- tives, Mr. Woll's relatives and the church, 1 Helped by Friends. | Sundays were rigidly observed.
