Superintendent Matsell at once summoned a detective, and, after informing him of the situation of affairs at the bank, gave him orders to go to the bank and remain there during the day, to guard the depositors from being robbed by pickpockets, and to remove from the bank any suspicious person whom they might see. Information in regard to runs upon other eavings banks quickly followed, and, as each report was received, a detective was given similar orders, and was sent to the threatened bank. In the course of the day nearly every detective thus reserved was detailed to the duty described. The police captains had also received orders in respect to detailing men to goard bank ing-houses and savings banks whenever it might become necessary to do so. Patrolmen on duty near the savings banks received orders from their respective captains to report at the station-house f there was any indication of a run on such institu. tions.
