Chicago. Nov. 1.--After a lapse or
five years since the mysterious dis
appearance of $17J,nhtt front the
Chicago subtreasury, ’George W.
Fitzgerald, former teller, who was
indicted in ltfiu and charged with
the embezzlement of that sum. is to
appear before Judge Carpenter, of
th- I'nited States court In litis city,
this week to he tried for the alleged
theft. I'husual Interest is manifest-
ed. in the imp-mllng trial which, it is
hoped. wIM definitely clear up the
mystery surrounding this ease which
for years completely puzzled the
government authorities and the
shrewdest among the secret service
del eet i ves.
|i was in th- Hiitrmer of 11»<>T
that the officials of . the Chicago
l'nited States Sub-treasury were
startled by the information that
$173,nun in hills of various denom-
inations had mysteriously disappear-
ed from the cage of the tidier.
George W. Fitzgerald. Fitzgerald
himself, who had been in the employ
of the subtreasury for seven years,
gave the first intimation of tho
loss of th(' large sum. On
Wednesday afternoon he Inform-
ed the cashier. F. C. Russell, that
he was short 41 7.'!,fab He explain-
ed that the sum. which was missing
corresponded with the total amount
of a package of hills which had been
retained in the feller's • custody
the night before.
An examination of Fitzgerald's
hook showed that the shortage was
not a matter of bookkeeping, hut
of actual loss. Inquiry at Washing-
ton showed that the money had
been shipped to the Federal-Treas-
ury by mistake. Thomas I. Porter,
chief (f the Flitted Stales scrr-t ser-
vice in Chicago',"'began a careful
investigation of the case and ascer-
tained that three previous thefts
had taken place, it is alleged, in
Fitzgerald's cage prior to that
time. These losses were, respective-
ly $:,0o. Stloo and $P(io. Notwith-
standing this fact Fitzgerald enjoy-
ed the full confidence of his super-
iors and no susniclon was attached

When questioned, Fitzgerald laid
suspicion upon a party of workmen
who had been employed about the
sulitreasury the day before the dis-
covery of the shortage. The money.
Fitzgerald stated, lay :n stacks upon
his desk in a dark corner of the
cage and might easily have been

ast-rted his Innocence with an air
of injured dignity which ultimately
was effective In the absence of di-

to other quarters.
Tin* rasp was so puzzling that,

was considered useless under the cir-
cumstances. Fitzg-rafd. having lost
his position iu the subtreasury. tried

er circumstantial evidence he was
hfrested on suspicion, hut unickly
discharged again without having
been formally charged with the
theft.
