It la thought he may have headed for Mexico or some other Latin American country, while others believe he will ultimately turn up in the far east, unless Intercepted. Spurgin is an Iowa product. He obtained his first employment in a bank as clerk in the little village of Panora and there while still qnlte young married the daughter ot a When his daughter, storekeeper. Vivian, now grown up, was an infant, Sporgln eloped with a Mrs. Carrie Moore, a former sweetheart, and is said to have taken $3,000 of the banks funds to finance his elopement to Florida. Friends of his family and of his wife induced him to return. Restitution was made and the affair in time died down. The erring woman who had eloped with him never, however, returned to her home. A Real Wallingford. A few years ago Spurgin, tiring of the restrictions of a small village, sold his home and moved to Chicago. He bought an Interest in the Michigan Avenue Trust Company. He was an impressive figure, standing six feet three Inches in height and carrying an avoirdupois of 250 pounds. He soon injected himself prominently into the affairs ot the bank. He borrowed money to invest in oil and mines. He speculated in leather and found backers., .He launched companies.

Bat before he disappeared he took what ever he found loose about the hank and anbstltnted as 'securities mortgages and notes to which he had forged the names ot numerous wealthy farmers in Iowa and Illinois. When Spurgin disappeared hia wife and daughter left at the same time in an automobile. It was thought they had gone to join the fugitive president. But at Detroit they reconsidered their action and returned to Chicago to tell the authorities allf they knew about Spur-glnaffairs, which was very little. Wine, Women and Bong. Spurgin did not make them his confidant He was scarcely on speaking terms with his wife, who lived with him merely for the sake of appearances. She knew his relations with other women and of coarse resented them. After Spurgin had removed to Chicago he took to the White Way, or whatever stands for it in Chicago, with tiie avidity of a duckling for water. - Few men saw Spurgin after his business hours. From dark until dawn Spurgin had an entirely different circle of friends than in banking hours and these were chiefly women. At the various cabarets, 'gardens and road bouses he was a fam-ilfigure. He changed his partners often, and it was commented on the number of women with whom he associated.
