WRAPPED UP IN BANK Worthless Papér Was Substi- tuted for Securities Con- signed to Massachusetts. The mystery of the “disappear ance” of half a million dollars worth of Liberty bonds sent by the Chase National Bank to a bank in Massa- chusetts, but which turned out to be a package of worthless paper when delivered in the Massachusetts mail, was considerably deepened this af- ternoon by a statement from First Vice President William J. Griffin of the National Surety Company of No. 116 Broadway; which ‘organtzation carried part of theMiability insurance of the Chase Bank. He said: “Other companies with which we had underwritten a portion of the tisk of the Chase National Bank, and which are therefore interested with us in this matter, have reported to us that the Post Office authroities have no record whatever that such a package was received for registered mailing. “We have learned that the package, reported by the Chase Bank to con- tain forty-seven $10,000 bonds and thirty $1,000 bonds, was prepared for mailing on April 17 in the bank's se- curities room on the second floor and was sent to the mailing room in the basement. The bank's records show that it was checked out for mailing. “The information we have had does not indicate whether the package was carried to the Post Office in a pouch or by @ messenger. We are investi- gating thoroughly because we do not now know whether we are liable for the loss. If the package was lost in the bank, we are liable, but if it was lost after leaving the bank we are not. “The matter is specifically in the hands of my assistant, Mr. Arthur Stobbart, who has left the city with three of our detectives in the progress of his investigation. He will return to-morrow, I expect." The bonds were never tody of the Post Om in the cus- according to definite and relable information obtained to-day. The bonds were stolen in thix city before they ever got to the Post Office, it was declared, and it was in this city that worthless paper was substituted for them, That the package, carefully shaped to indicate that it was made up of bonds, contained this worthless Paper was not discovered until it was opened in the Massachusetts bank The package, all wrapped for ship- ment, it was stated, was placed in the hands of an employee of the bank who had charge of the bank's ship- ments of that kind of packages. A messenger of the bank took it to the Post Office which, in due course,'for- warded it to the Massachusetts bank Announcement of the loss of the half million of bonds was made in an abbreviated news ticker notice coming from the law firm of Bing- ham, Englar & Jones, of No. 64 Wall Street.
