FLED WITH BANI'S FUMPf
William Schrieber, of Elizabeth, N.
J,, a Fugitive From Justice.
ACCUSED OF STEALING $106,000
Voting Schrleber Was Bookkeeper Foi I
the Ellzabethport Banking Co?Short- '
age Discovered While on Hit Vacation
?He Led a Gay Life in New York
City?He Is Said toBe In Earope.
i
Elizabeth, N. J. (Special).-William
Schrleber, a trusted clerk of the Elizabethport
Banking Company, who has
not been seen here since August 2,
was found to have stolen $100,000
of the bank's money. This beardless
young man, who has yet to see his
twenty-fifth year, has proved himself,
so the bank officers say, one of the
I moat exoort of thieves and an adept
at twisting accounts so as to deceive
even the keen bank examiners.
Schrieber's peculations go back at
least three years and effect a great
many accounts. The general ledger
of the Institution indicates that
$229,000 Is due its depositors. The
sum total' of their pass books shows
that they have deposited $337,000 in
the bank. The difference, $106,000, is
the amount stolen through a simple
system of peculation by Schrieber.
The money wns spent in fast living
in New York City, and those who
knew the young man believe it was
spent as it was stolen. The bank officers
attribute their loss to the cramped
condition of the old offices, which allowed
any person in U^eir employ to
get at the money, and .ilso to their
faith in the integrity of ; *ng Schrieher.
The missing clerk had several times
been suspected of stealing, but the
closest watching failed to reveal any
shortcomings. On August 2 he went
on bis vacation, and his books were
examined, but nothing wrong was discovered.
When he did not return,however,
and reports of his fast life iD
New York City were received, another
and more careful examination
was made, and it was found that he
bad juggled accounts so as to make
theft appear all right. ,
^She . directors of the bank met and
jgood the loss.
The directors placed the matter of
apprehending the. missing man In the
hands of a detective agency. He is
believed to have sailed for Europe
about three weeks ago.
Schrleber lived in a modest. frame
cottage in Elizabeth with his aged'
mother, his brother, Henry, and his
sister, Annie.
He eptered the employ of the bank
"about ten years ago. when it first
opened, as an errand hoy, and worked
up to the position of bookkeeper.

YO'JTSEY BREAKS DOWN.
Exciting Soene at His Trial For
Killing Governor Goebel.
Become* Hysterical, Calls Arthur Goebe'
a Liar, Strikes His Own Wife
and Collapses.
Georgetown, Ky. (Special). ? Henry
E. Youtsey, on trial for the assassination
of Governor William Goebel,
created a sensation Tuesday in the
court room by denouncing as a liar
Arthur Goebel, who was about to testify
against him, and then running
amuck, even striking his wife in his
struggles. Tne whole affair was especially
unexpected, because Youtsey's
case had been proceeding unusually
well.
Arthur Goebel, brother of William
uoeoei, naa saia ne aaa a conversation .
with Youtsey in jail on the day the
latter was arrested. Youtsey sprang
to his feet.
"It is a lie!" he exclaimed, advancing
toward Goebel, liis eyes blazing.
"I never had a conversation with that
man in my life," and his voice rose to
a shriek. "At the jail or anywhere
else," he continued, "I never spoke a
word to him or he to me."
His attorneys sprang np and attempted
to stop him. _ ,
"I won't sit down, i will no{ stand
here and have my life sworn away. I
have no blood on my hands, and I
want every one to see itr. Not a bit
I am innocent, or I hope a higfier pow-. *
er will kill me dead." '
At this point Mrs. Youtsey threw hqir
arms around her husband, bOt/^Mfc
threw her off, and In striking <Jtit
blindly struck her once or twice. The
combined efforts of Ave men, res' \
quired to hold him.
As he finally sank into a chair Mrs.- jj
\outsey, already in hysterics, turned
to Arthur Goebel and cried, "Now. I,;
hope you are satisfied. You have killed
himi"
Then'she was led fainting into the
jury room. , During all this Arthur
Goebel had remained passive.
Then Youtsey broke oat again. "I
tell you Goebel is not dead! All the
demons in perdition could not kill
him!" And as Arthur Goebel shot a
glance of hate at the man accused (of
murdering his brother tod now traducing
his memory, Judge Cantrill
said: "Mr. sheriff, If the defendant
does not behave himself put the handcuffs
on him."
After that Judge Cantrill attempted
to resume court, but on the request of
Youtsey's attorneys agreed to postpone
until the following morhing.
Youtsey was carried to the jail,
Where he shouted "Hurrah for Goebel!"
three times and then collapsed.
It 1^ feared that he cannot recover, or
at least that he is permanently unbalanced.
Few believe that Youtsey was
shamming.
