A BRIEF HISTORY or FoUn BANK CLERKS.
"A writer in the New York Tribune states
that in the winter of lS54-5, four young
bank clerks used to meet for cuchrc playing
alternately at their residences in BROOKLYN.
These meetings continued pleasantly for a
while, the party keeping early hours, and no
gambling being allowed. A year later the
party was not recbgnzedbut met accidentally
on Christmas eve, at rattle in Brooklyn
The downward path was already entered up
on. The fcsults sum up as follows; One of
the young men is travelling in Europe, his
bondsmen having paid $4,000 for him. in
which sum he was in default at the bank
whore he was employed. Another is in Sing
Sing prison for forgery. The third is Oscar
S. Field, the recent deiaulter in Brooklyn,
and now wandering with the mark Of Cain
upon his brow the murderer of his own
peace and happiness Of his family. The
fourth communicates these facts, and con-
cludes his story thus -
"And as sthe latter casts a glance over the
past, shudder creeps through his frame as
he thinks over the fate Of his companions, and
thanks u merciful God that saved him from
the abyss into which he had almost plunged
himself
There were other bank clerks among the
party, and ere long their defalcations must
come to light, for they have been possessed
OF sums which they could not have come by
honestly"
