Walker, presi- dent of the California safe deposit and trust company, was found speeding south on an S. P. train last night, when he was supposed to be at his San Mateo home. He was placed under arrest and taken from the train at Santa Barbara on instruc- tions of Assistant District Attorney Francis J. Heney. Shortly after the arrest of Bankers Brown and Bart- nett last evening detectives were hurried to San Mateo to keep David F. Walker,| president of the bank, un- der surveillance; but finding | he had already left his| home trailed him down to Santa Barbara, where he was held by the police au- thorities. Though no warrant had been sworn out for Walker, it was thought best to keep | him in sight. The detectives| on reaching San Mateo sur- rounded the house where he was supposed to be lying ill, tion had been seen boarding a train for the south. A hasty investigation proved that their man had flown; but word was sent down the line, and late last night the police of Santa Barbaral tock him in charge.
