This morning tho examination OF the officers
of the Franklin Savings Bank will bo continued,
and it Is expected TINT Mr.. Briggs will bo put on
the stand a1id tho books produced.
Yesterday WAS the return day Of the order
made last Friday for tho bank to anBwor the
supplemental petition, md, no answor having
boon fllod, tho bank was adiudicatcd bankrupt
by dofault, md d warrant OF sozuro iBHued re-
turnnblo Doo i. On that day Meeting Of tho
creditors will bo hold and an Assignee appointed.
This adjudication is IN the nature Of q
Judgment, and takoB everything out Of tho
hands Of tho bank officers, and voss In tho Unitod
States Marsln as officer Of tho District Court,
md also suporsodoB nil actions or orders Of State
courts, and stops any caaos pondiug. II is Hou1e-
what singular, however, that no Provisional As
Hignoo was appointed to take charge Of snch
largo interests, ns the Alarshal's bonds would
hardly DO sufficient.
Tho object Of the examination now is to Bhow
aa far as can bo what, if any, asHots have .beon
mnde away With, to give somo Clue, more than
would bo given by simple examination, unaided
Of tho books, which might easily havo boom
''doctorod," as tho >; numerous defalcations
while if thoro is anything loft utter two-nonths'
meal, by tho officers, OF tic convertible nsantB,
the creditors mny bo assured Of recoiving some
thing. Tho examination Of Mr. Jones, long and
ksordy aB ii was. revealed very litle it anything
ported In TIE TRIBUNE Hovoral days before, but
It is hoped that Mr. Briggs, to whom Mr.. jonea
so often referred tho creditors for information,
may be ablo to offer .omo more definite and nc
cnrato light on tho important subject.
