The hunt for the man who stole 1173,000 from the Chicago sub-treasury continues. John E. Wilkle, chief of the United States secret service, ser-vice, who, arrived here today and took personal charge of the rase, strongly intimated last night that suspicions had concentrated on one man, whose name already haa been mentioned in connection with the gigantic then, but the officials were not yet ready for an arrest. - Chief Wilkle said this suspected man might have had one or several accomplices, accom-plices, who expected to profit by the theft, but his theory was that one man had taken the money. Four men were put through a searching examination by Chief Wilkle In the office of Capt. Thomas I. Porter, chief of the local se-cret se-cret service bureau. The men questioned ques-tioned were: Arthur R. Boal. currency clerk and a nephew of Cashier Frank C. Russell. Henry S. Lock, assistant assorting teller, who has succeeded George W. Fitzgerald as assorting taller. John M. Rogers, paying teller. Frank J. Walsh, currency clerk. With the exception of George W. Fita-gerald, Fita-gerald, the assorting teller, from whose cage the money disappeared, these four men are believed to be in a better posi-I posi-I tion than any other employees or offl-I offl-I cials of the sub-treasury to throw light on the manner in which the thief could have secured the ' money. They were nearest the Fltxgerald cage. Fitrgerald. who is being kept under surveillance, will be examined later. |
