one of the stnaigest in the city.
Alvord is about 54) years old and has a
wife and three children. Hi* home was nt

a* well a* In the street. Hi* habits were
good. It 1# believed that he lost money
in stork speculation* and that some of

The crime has l*cen kn wn long enough
to the officers now to enable them to say
with some assurance that Alvord did his
work alone. No one else* is under suspic

Beyond the fa'ts contained In the offi

Frank L. Hine. absolutely refused to ray
word. iTesblent Goi>rg** F. Baker,
wht n asked regarding the matter, said
that th* statement given out by the vice
presklent contained all he had to -ay In
regard to th* defalcation. When uked If
Alvord hid been apprehended the vi.c
president sild:
"I don't think he l as."
At the local office of the detective agen
cy which Ufiially has ccarg- ot bank cases
it was said that official* of thit company
had heard nothing of ih** def.ilcatbm as
yet. and that they had not at that time
been a-signed to the case. Th* First Na

down to close t OOO We are trying

President Bak*r said:
cation, for, of course, we hid the great
f*t oonfldenco in Alvord. He had been
with us twenty years, and we regarded
him as absolutely trustworthy. We knew
that h* lived jwirt of the tim* in Saratoga
Um summer, hut did not know then of his
gambling or that his extravagant way of
living had attracted general attention
there.
"We und rstood that he had mi le
money and supposed h* w is able to 11 e
in g<x*l style. What hi* salary was I d*
not care to stale, but It was a generous
one. ample to afford him the luxuries of
life."
An r>m< ial connected wi h the bank who
did not wish his name used said:
"A proof that the lank Is nut likely to
suffer by the defalcation is th.it its profits
for the y#ar ending last Sept. l. were sl.-
