DIMMICK MAY BE ARRESTED | DEFORE NEHT Law’s Meshes Tighten- ing About Suspected Chief Clerk. Investigation Is Beginning to Develop Satisfactory Results. e Forty-Seven Million Dollars Carefully Guarded in Basement Vaults Pre- viously Held to Be Unsafe for Storage of Gold. PR iy ‘Walter N. Dimmick will probably be ar- rested before night on the charge of hav- ing stolen the $30,000 in gold that is miss- ing from the cashier's working vault of the Mint. ‘While the men who are probing into the mystery are keeping their own counsel, thera are numerous indications that the meshes of the law are tightening about the chief clerk and that the investigators no longer fear that the thief, whoever he may be, will escape detection. The longest session yet held of Mint of- ficlals and secret service men was that of yesterday. Beginning at 10 o’clock, it lasted, with but an hour for lunch at noon, till almest 7 o’clock in the evening. When it was over' Chief Clerk Dimmick bore the look of a man who had been un- der fire and who realized that he had not came out of it with eredit. On the other hand, Director of the Mint Roberts, Superintendent Leach and Cashier Cole evidently felt pleased and almost elated over the results of the day’'s investigation. Dimmick remains at liberty, but the surveillance of secret service men is not relaxed for a moment and flight, it is al- leged, would be impossible for him. In justice to him it must be sald that he has shown no disposition to shrink from the invesilgation, but those among the Mint employes who are convinced of his guilt say his attitude 41s due to confidence that convicting evidence against him cannot be obtained. Experiments by Lock Expert. Director Roberts, Superintendent Leach, Secret Service Agent Hazen, Cashier Cole and Chief Clerk Dimmick were closeted together during most of the day's investigations. Charles Waltz, the lock expert, was present during several hours of the afternoon and it is believed that his reports on the combinations of the locks to the cashier’'s working vault were dam- aging to Dimmick.. Waltz was employed to determine whether or not Cashier Cole changed the combination to a degree that the chief clerk, who previously held the combination, would not be abie to open the vault doors. The private life of the suspected man is being scanned as closely as his conduct at the Mint. Both phases contain damag- ing evidence, but not the clean-cut sort that convicts.. Dimmick was surprised in the act, practically, of imitating the si nature of Superintendent Leach. He known to have taken money from the pay envelopes of employes, making restitution at later dates. He made remarks to Cashier Cole that seemed to be ‘‘feelers’ put out cautiously in search of a confed- erate in a plot to loot the vaults. A mass of cvidence has been uncovered that points the finger of suspicion at Dim- mick. But apparently that is all. No one saw him taking treasure from the vauit; none of it has been found in his posses- sion, and no sack or tag or other bit of evidence has been found to give a clew to the disposition made of the loot. Fel- low employves of Dimmick predict, while assuming his gullt, that he will never be convicted. Treasure in Basement Vaults. The inspection of the treasure in the big vaults went on yesterday from 9 o'cluck | in the morning till 4 in the afternoon. Nearly $4.000,000 was counted and not a single sack found to be shy of its proper amount of coin. This inspection wlil re- quire about ten days yet for its comple- tion. 7z is not thought that further thefts will be discovered. A significant commentary upon the state of affairs that has arisen at the Mint, whether due to Treasury Depart- mert official orders or to lack of pre- cautfon on the part of Superintendent Leach is afforded by the fact that $47,000,- 000 in gold is now stored in the basement vaulis, where previously only silver was stored, they not being deemed safe €nough for the more precious coin. Upon the discovery of the theft this amount of zold coin in sacks was transferred from the two cashier's vaults to the basemcnt vaults, where it is being carefully guard- ed by an extra force of watchmen while inspection of the treasure proceeds. Responsibility for the $30,000 stolen will be difficult to fix. The Treasury Depart- ment will no doubt contend that Superin- tendent Leach’s bond must make it good, and the Superintendent will pass the re- sponsibility along to Cashier Cole. The two local officials will probably join in the contention that the fanlt lies with i the Treasury Department officials, whose orders are responsible for the plethora of coined gold that made the theft of the $30,000 possible.
