Friday, 11th December 1914: C. E. Sears Quit Burns; Comes Back To Atlanta, The Atlanta Journal

C. E. Sears, who was Manager of the Atlanta branch of the W. J. Burns National Detective Agency during the Burns investigation of the Frank Case, and which resulted in the repeal of the license of the Burns Branch to operate in Atlanta, has severed his connection with Burns and returned to Atlanta. After the repeal of the Burns license in this City, Sears went to Birmingham as Manager of the Burns Branch there, and was with that branch until he left the Burns Service. Sears indicates he will go into other work here.
