SUSPECTED BANK CASHIER. A Defalcation of $200,000 Charged Against Cashier Krieger of the Broken St. Louis Savings Bank. [Special Telegram to the Globe.| ST. LOUIS, May 25.-Howard Houghton, one of the victimized patrons of the Broadway Savings Bank, swore out a warrant at a late hour yesterday for the arrest of Phil. Krieger, Jr., cashier of the institution. Deputy marshals have been scouring the city, but have not been able to get on the track of the man. His family say he left home at 8 o'clock telling them he was going down town. Krieger has been rendered almost demented by the bank troubles and it was learned that his friends had had him confined for some days in a private mad house within the past month. One theory to account for his absence is that he has fled from the city. Another, and that which his friends most fear, is that he has committed suicide. The warrant charges him with embezzling funds of the bank to the amount of $200,000. The excitement among depositors continues intense and threats of life taking are freely made against the directors. The Kriegers are among the wealthiest and best known Germans of St. Louis. I Western Associated Press.] ST. LOUIS, May 25.-J. P. Kreiger, Jr., cashier of the suspended Broadway Savings' bank, for whose arrest for embezzling funds of the bank a warrant was issued yesterday, is not found yet. Kreiger is charged with embezzling from $100,000 to' $250,000 of the bank's money. His arrest was ordered by the directors of the bank, not by the depositors as previously stated.
