treasurers, and finds that the drafts they
forwarded are all correctly noted In

cy OF about three hundred thousand dol.
lars. Some Of the drafts surreptitiously
used by Phelps were endorsed by him as
cashier, but large part were regularly
endorsed by Deputy Treasurer Paul.
$55,OO0 Of the latter has been brdlght
10 light, payable to Charles Hudson.
Cashier Hudson's name on these drafts
was written on by Phelps. Charles
Hudson, Cashier, is connected with the
firm OF F. R. sherwin s. Co., Of New
York. The drafts should have been made
payable to E. Groesbeck, Cashier OF the
Albany Commercial Bank, and deposited
in that bank. By making them payable to
Hudson, Phelps diverted them from their
proper depository, and made them avail
able to himself, probably through Hud-
son. A warrant for the arrest OF F. T..
sherwin & Co., has been issued.
