The Story Of a Haif-NIiIlton Cotton Failure
which Turned Out to be n Mere Miscal-
culation-A Theory of Fraud Exploded.


II vas rumored in Wall street, yesterday
afternoon, that Sessums & Co., heavy
cotton firm Of Galveston. Texas had
victmzed certain bankers OF this city to the tune Of
over half million dollars, by drawing against cot
ton which had never been shipped. The gossips
had u that Morton, Bliss h Co., Gardner, Bacon h
Co, Williams Guion, and several others had been
yictimized. and some went far into particulars az
TO explain how 1t was eone, and how the firms felt
aboutit.
The true story OF the ALLEGED swindle, as given to
our reporter, Is substantially as follows: About six
weeks ago Messrs. Sessums 4 Co., OF Galveston,
drew on 6rm In this city for considerable amount
Out not so much the gossips said, expecting to
cover their dram by shipment OF cotton. This
cotton they had in tile press, and were unable to
shio because Of the weather. soon after drawing
on the New York house, Sessums & Co. we're
forced TO suspend, and their creditors in Galveston
seized the cotton In press.
or course under those circumstances they could
not chip the cotton to New York to cover their
draft. Thus the story Of fraud Is exploded and the
calculation.
Since the transactions which first came to light
Yesterday. sessums Co., II Is said, have resumed
business, and will probably meet all their drafts.

ing the language no answer was returned.
The unknown man then took out revolver
and fired upon them, and woundng three

vcrely. The two latter are in a precarious
condition. Wells, who was unhurt, ran for
his life. A number of men followed and rails
ed the cry of ''stop him." but he escaped
The wounded men were badly treated by the
crowd which gathered around them. The
