POLICE SEND OUT A GENERAL ALARM For Erwin Wider, Cashier of Russc-Chinese Bank, New York, Principal in One o rious Defalcations in H £ the Most Puzzling and Se- istory of Wall Street—It is Eelisved Wider had an Outside Accomplice. —"Wanted: Er- years old, five feet weighs about 135 W , July win Wider, about 3 five inches in height; pcunds; swarthy of complexion, with a =mall black mustache, curled at the ends. Wears rimless no zlass talks with a German accent, and timid in address.” General Alarm for Missing Cashier. Such is the general alarm sent out Why Wider Keeps Out of the Way. Ginsberg was quick to supplement this statement with two qualifications. First, he wished it understood that in his attempts to arrive at an under- standing with the bank he is not try- ing to compound a felony, and, sec- ond, he charges bad faith on the part of the bank. “It was intendsd to have my client o=t ol e pem T come forward at the proper time” s L Sty ROy o e e i | sald the attorney, “to take his medi though, oddly enough, the district at- | ¢in€; but Wider objected to being Totney's ofce said tonight that mo aid | 10cked up in the Tombs this hot weath d been as of them by the bank|€r. when hz must be unable to get nd that no application for a warrant | D& That was his only reason for had been filed Most Puzzling Defalcation. But this contraduction is only one in a series that have kept step with every development of what is now ad- mitted to be at once the most puzzling and the most serious defalcation in the history of Wall strest since Cornelius Alvord stole $60.000 from the First Na- tional bank, served a term in Sing Sing and then retired to the seclusion of a country home $600,000 Gone. When the Russo-Chinese bank first keeping out of the way.” Wider’s Counsel Dogged by Detectives. On the second count Ginsberg spoke with emphasis.. There was a gentle- man’'s agreement that the loss of the securities was not to be made public at this time, he declared. “The plan was to restore them without loss to the bank in the fall, but instead of carrying out the agreement the police have been put on the case and I have been dogged by datectives. “I want to say that it was not In- spector Markowski who discovered the loss.

No positive statement has besn made wvet as to where these stock certificates now are, or with what intent they were stolen—whether it was withdrawn to hypothecat> them with brokers as collateral for stock speculation or to realize on them and “plant” the pro- veeds. No ilst of the certificates or the owners in whose names they stand on the books of the companies by which they were issued is available. Must Have Had Outside Aid. Inspector Markowski, now in charge of the New York branch of the bank, during the absence on vacation of Manager Guertz, says he is convinced that Widér had an outside accomplice. “Modest, Exemplary Ciork.” “Whan Wider enteréd our employ,” explained the inspector tonight, “he was a modest, exemplary clerk. With- in the past vear I feel sure that some man of strong personality has gained control of him and changed hic whole personality. T am satisfied that Wider did not steal of his own volition or on s own initiativ Bank Said to Be Touch With Thief. It is perhaps with a hope of laying hands on this power who shaped the cashier to his own ends that the bank s dealt so delicately with Wider. meel and neighbor, L. R. Gins- rg. has said from tha first that the n touch with Wider and t, after the general alarm nt out, he reiterated: hey know where he is just as weil es T do.” 3600,000, of which the additional 0.000 is said te be in stocks partly the bank and partly by its the stolen bonds had been hypothecated with brokers and that the bank knew where they were. The names of these brokers are still withheld, but today the list of possibilities narrowed down 1o two well known houses. “We shall institute suits to recover from two Wall street firms the securities they obtained from Wider,” said Inspector Markowski. “They must have known that he did not own them: they ought to have known that he stole them.” On this score a prominent attorney not connected with the case said to- night that the court of appeals of this state has ruled that there is no_such thing as an innocent holder or buyer of stolen securities and that therefore the owner may recover from the hold- ers. Bank Credited With $15,400,000. The Russo-Chinese bank is credited in Wall Street with a capitai of $15,- 400,000, but it could not be learnad today ‘what assets or capital are cred- ited ‘to the branch in this city. The New York branch is not under the jurisdiction of the state banking de- partment, because it does not attempt a regular business in deposits, but makes loans with foreign funds. The representative in this country of the Russian minister of finance iz said to be Gregory Wilenkin, with of- fices at No. 37 Chapel street, New Ha- ven, Conn., who is believed to be the only person having authority to co- operate with Inspector Markowski and the officers of the bank in an investi- gation. The New York branch was estab- lished in 1907. It has for correspond- ents the First. National and the Na- tional City banks of this city and the Firet National bank of Chicago.

Crippen and his former steongra- pher. Ethel Clara Leneve, are aboard the Canadian Pacific steamer Montrose now on the high seas, bound for Mon- treal, is the firm conviction held by Scotland Yard. Since Crippen -and his companion disappeared more than two weeks ago from the Hilldrop Crescent residence. where a mutilated body, supposed to be that of Crippen’s wife, was found under the cellar floor, search has been made in many countries, particular at- tention having been given to France, and of the many clues followed to the final ending that which led the police to the docks at Antwerp and to pursuit across the ocean seems to hold out the best prospect of the capture of the missing doctor and the Leneve wo- man. { Ch; d Over ‘the Ocean by Inspector.

Robinson wore a light gray suit and a gray hat. The agent did not detect an American accent. ARREST OF THE COUPLE ON BOARD THE MONTROSE Revolver and Cartridges Taken from the Doctor’s Pockets. London, July 25—The accumulating evidence points to the certaint- that the couple aboard the Montrose are Dr. Crippen and Ethel Leneve. Their movements have been traced practical- ly since they left London, most of the time being spent in Belgium under the name of Robinson, the girl throughout posing as Robinson’s son When par sing passage tickets at Antwerp_ Robinson particularly insist- ed on having a double-berth cabin. The London Express publishes a cir- cumstantial story of their arrest on board the Montrose. On Fyiday the couple were overheard discussing their escape, according to the paper, and the captain of the steamer communicated with Scotland Yard and on Saturday decided to arrest the couple. Crippen was searched and deprived of a revolver and cartridges and a pen knife. He demanded to know what offense "he was charged with and was informed that he had contravened the law by giving an assumed name and traveling with a woman In the guise of a bov.
