The Albany Defaalction.

ALBANY, Oct II.
The state treasurer has received replies
from the county treasurers, and finds that
the drafts they forwarded are all correctly
noted in Phelps book, and that there Is a
deficiency of about $500, 600 Some of the
drafts surreptiously used by Phelps were en-
dorsed by him as cashier, but large part
were regularly endorsed by the deputy
treasurer Paul @55,000 Of the latter have
been brought TO light, payable to Charles
Hudson, cashier of the Hudson. The name
on these drafts was written in by Phelps
Charles Hudson, cashier, is connected with
the firm of F. d. Sherwin & Co.. New
York. The drafts should have been made
payable to Il. Groesbeck, cashier Of the AL
bany Commercial Bank, and deposited IN
that bank by making them payable to IIud-
son. Phelps diverted them from their pro-
per depostors, and made them available to
himself, probably through Hudson. Phelps
had no right to endorse drafts. A warrant
for the arrest of +. r.. Shcrwin & Co., has
been issued.
The Evening journal, in an article IN
the question of responsibility, corrccts the
statement that the comptrollers Office was
until lately supplied with duplicate bank
pass book, showing the balances on de-
post. No such books, it says, have been
in use for years, if ever. Comparisons Of
accounts were made monthly by the trea-
surers officials and those Of the comp
troller Between these comparisons hun
dred thousands of dollars might be stolen
through the trcasurcr's office, and no one
in the comptrollers office know it. On the
first Of August the balances were found
correct. Before the first Of September
examination it is apparent that two-thirds
of the embezzlcmcut took place, and
would have been detected then if the
general bookkceper in the comptrOller's
office had been supplied with duplicate
pass book, for Phelps had stated the de-
post in the Mechanics and Farmers banl;
to be 5000, 900 more than it was.
