He said worker and had been out of work. A few days ago he met a man named Martin H. Flannigan of Chicago, who had requested him to come to Toronto and bring back to the Western metropolis the contents of the safety dec posit box. Shortall said that in aa interview he had Flannigan in Chicago the latter offered him the sum of $5 a day while he came to Canada to get the contents of the box. A number of letters which had been received by the Bank of Toron to officials from Flannigan in Chicago bore out part of the statement made by Shortall to the police.

The letters to the -bank stated that Flannigan was sending Shortall as his agent to get the various valuable papers and debentures in the deposit box. Flannigan also said that had lost the Jcey of- the box and ia one letter io: closed a postoffice note 'for $10 to bear the expense of forcing the lock. Becoming suspicious, the bank officials turned the various letters over to the police with a request that try and discover who Flannigan might be. A search of the police rec ords showed that the man had come to Canada in the summer of 1912 and had been arrested on a charge of tinging stolen money into Canada Subsequently he was tried for the of. fense, but in the absence of concrete evidence he was discharged by the trial judge.

The police said last night that the affair would now be reopened and if possible an attempt be made to extricate Flanni Ean to face a new charge of' having stolen money in his possession. Believing that the deposit box. which had been kept locked four years would contain valuable evidence in connection with the bank robbery, the police arranged to be present when Shortall came to recov. er the contents of the box. This morning a message was received from the bank officials saying that a letter Flannigan's signature had been received saying that Shortall would arrive today to empty the box.

detectives kept guard in the counting -pom from the opening of the office. Shortly before the closing hour Shor. all arrived and, presenting a letter 'rom Flannigan, asked that the box be opened. Just as the lock was i.bout shattered the two detectives ushed upon Shortall and overpowered him. The box lock was then forced and the compartment was found to be stuffed full of the Bank of Montreal notes.
