YOUTH RETURNS BANK'S MONEY South Bend. Ind., Nov. 14— (U.R)— Janies Wennermark, 17. messenger for the First National bank here, missing since Nov. 3, along with nearly $50,000 of the institution's funds, has returned with most of the money. The youth, son of a Mishawaka minister, returned from Chicago under the custody of an uncle who turned him over to authorities. Albert Smith, 13, also of Mishawaka. Wennermark’s companion, surrendered previous to Wennermark’s return, and turned over $2,000 in cash and approximately SIO,OOO in Traveler's checks. According to Smith, thb pair parted in Chicago, and he phoned the Rev. Wennermark that he was coming home and asked the minister to meet him at the station. Rev. Wennermark. met the Smith hoy and took him to the bank where the youth turned over part of the loot, which he said the bank messenger gave him. Banking officials released him, but Mishawaka police arrested him as he stepped from the bank. He was permitted to visit his parents after giving the authorities a sworn statement. Smith said he and Wennermark spent only a small portion of the $50,000, although they visited New York. Florida and Havana. — o BANKING HOUSE MAY LIQUIDATE H'ONTINI ED FROM PAGE ONE) The state banking department was notified of the action of the board and Mr. Gauker was advised that Luther F.
