From a lowly position in the First National he worked himself up to the note-telle; cage. Then he became himself the note- teller. The post carried with it a sal- ary of $3,600 a year, much m. 6 than Al- vord ever had earned before, altho. + he was well on the road to the half cen- tury milestone. WHITE LIGHTS BEGAN TO AT. TRACT ALVORD, teller Alvord had something else he had not had before—an oppor- tunity to steal and to cover his tracks indefinitely.

About a half hour after the ball of Nolan had been declared forfeited De- teotive-Lieutenants Dowling and Lon- drgan, who arrested n and the girl last night, appeared and told Magistrate Murphy that they had found Nolan and Attorney Gerard in Gerard's office at No, 0 Broadway.

This toot wes Uy Alvord changed his manner He had a wife and three children, and upon them he began to lavish luguries euch as they never had Greamed of possessing. Where the money was coming from they did not know. They were given to understand that the new position at the bank te ried with it lary only second to that of the president. Soon Alvord purchased @ magnificent residence at Cheater Hill, Mount Ver- non. A circle of diamonds creep up on his wife's fingers children’s education was looked after by @ high-priced governess. In Mount V: non they soon became the Alvords, Mrs, Alvord, long bound down by monetary exigencies, blossomed forth as a society queen, She drew about her a group of the elite in the fashionable suburban city.

Just once Alvord ventured to take a vacation while he was note teller. Then, when he came back and was confronted by no accusing offictal, he breathed a sigh of relief, Twice a year the bank examiners went over his books. He was always at their side to explain the meaning of certain pen- cilled figures, which, he sald, were the actual totals on his clearing sheets, One night, though, another clerk no- iced him making some changes in a sheet, and casually mentioned the ma ter to C. D, Backus, the assistant ashier, No one dreamed anything w; wrong. They simply thought that the untiring note teller had discovered some bookkeeping short-cut. Backus, wondering what it could be, lo curiously through Alvord's books. For & hale hour he poured over the figures, then hastily summoned all the clerks who remained in the bank, In another half hour they had overwhelming proof that Alyord, the trusted, plug- wing, jovial note teller was a thief. ALVORD APPEARED AND GOT THE TIP TO FLEE. Some telepathic warning brought Al- vor to the sidewalk on Broadway and Wal! street, outside the bank, thar eve- ning. He saw the group of clerks gata- ereé around his cage. He needed nov more to tell him he had veen discovered. He disappeared. Was on Oct. 1s. Through Police Headquarters and private detective agencies the bank au- thorities sent out an appeal for Alvord’s appreliension, They offered a reward of $5,000 and it set the country alert for the man hunt and the reward, What could be easier than lovating a fugitive with disfiguring 1 8 of ‘fat that no disguise could hide?
