Heavy Bank Defalcation From $4,000
to 900 900 Taken.

On Tuesday morning, after the opening Of the
Atlantic Bank, in Fulton street, Brooklyn, the
paving teller, Mr.. Oscar s. Field, was absent from
his accustomed dcsk-a very unusual circum-
stance. A messenger was sent to his house in
Sackcu street, when i. was nSeertained that lac
had not been ut home at all during the night. On
opening tho vaults bag of gold containing ST.
600 was missing also an additional sum of money
amounting to about ten thousand dollars in notes
of other banks, which was in the vault the day
before. The fact that he had absconded with the
money becnme evident, and information was given
Ia the police and M officer put upon his track
Measures were at once taken TO ascertain the
act amount of tho defucation, but owing to the
usual complication Of bank accounts, this became
n work Of much time. and the result cannot be
definitely arrived Mt in some time
1t is stated that since January last, Mr.. Field
has taken various sums Of money from the bank
for the purpose of gambling, and has lost heavily

Within n week past, there has probably not
been day when there were less than ten thou.
sand dollars in specie, gold and silver, in the
vaults, md it is understood that clean sweep has
been made Of all the gold ut least. From all
counts, gathered from the best sources, it is pro-
hnble, mud r,cn certain that the amount of the
dcacation will exceed the sum Of sixty thousand
