dent of the Market Bank, Walter Hsydock, one Of
the clerks in the Bank, and the teller, Mr.. Cooper
At the former examination much the testimony
was adduced was ELECTED on the examn .tion
yesterday afternoon. No evidence was produced to
fix the charge Of ENFORCEMENT upon Mr.. Sickett
directly but from the testimony it would appear tn At
the defendant had been in the habit of drawing
checks upon the Bank, which were paid over the
counter and that the defacaton was bu, failure on
his part to meet bis Indebtedness to the Bank. The
,ba,a oh of
bezzlement appeared TO be Of a contr sdicory char
acter and did not subsantate the chsrge that he had
altered the entries in his account books. That the
Bank did not, in the first instance regard the def
cheney as an act Of dishonesty would appear from
letter addressed by Mr. Daniel T. Willes, of the
Directors Of the Bank, to Mr. Sackett after the dis
covery of the deficiency in which he addresses him
as esteemed friend Mr.. Williams testified t. the
effect that the question Of prosecuting Mr.. Sackett
was submitted to Committee of the Director, who.
after the Bank had received from the parents Of Mr.
Sackett $1,000 mortgage, and "a 100 in cash from
Mr. Sackett himself in partial liquidation Of hi, in
debedpess to the Bank, decided to prosecute hi for
enb, element.
The following letter from Mr.. Sackett to the Pres-
dent Ct the Bar produced on cross-exanina.ion
