The . money was secured from the bank, and the next day when the man who loaned the money went out to Glen- vale to the home of the farmer for the purpose of drawing up the mort- gage, he discovered that during the night his farmer friend had cleared out. For years an effort was made to locate the missing man, but it was without results.

Frederick Bryant, \who is confined to the county jail waiting trial on the same charge, will be taken to Nap- anee by the Lennox sheriff and' his assistants. It is very likely that the three young men will be taken to Napanee by automobile, providing the roads are good for motor traffic. During the time that the trial 1s on in Napanee extra guards will do duty at the county jail. It is stated by people who have seen the three prisoners * recently, that they do not appear to mind their position very much. On Wed- nesday morning, the young wife of Frederick Bryant visited him at tae county jail. The jail officials are taking every care for fear Bryant might make his escape. An extra turnkey has been on duty both day and night since the three prisoners were first taken to the jail, During the past few days the de- puty sheriff at the court house has been kept busy serving summonses to witnesses who will be called upon to give evidence in the two addition- al charges which have been register- ed against the three prisoners by the Napanee authorities.
