The Brooklyn Banks Called Upon for a
Statement of City Moneys on Deposit.

The Brooklyn Banks Called Upon for a
Statement of city Moneys on Deposit.
The friends OF ex-Deputy Treasurer Marvin T.
Rodman have not yet returned to town to enter
into bail bonds for his liberation pending the trial.
This apparent desertion in the severe hour OF
circulation is deeply felt by the defaultng inancier
who is now languishing in the Raymond Street
Jail awaiting the action OF the Grand Jury, which
will meet in about ten days. He Will probably
be tried in November next The accountant,
Mr.. Warren, is now engaged in ascertaining in
what amounts the stolen money was taken from
the treasury and what was done with 1t. The City
Treasurer Mr.. Cortland a. Sprague, put in an ap-
pearance yesterday at his desk In the Oice OF the
Brooklyn Trust Company, having partially re-
covered from the attack OF illness by which he was
overtaKen upon the public expose OF the defalca-
ton OF his late deputy last week.
The bank presidents OF Brooklyn, who hold the
city money on deposit, positively assert that every
thing connected with their institutions is perfectly
correct. and add that IL would be impossible to
draw money from the bank after it has been de-
posted by the city save upon warrant bearing
the SIGNATURES OF the Mayor, Comptroller Treasurer
and City Clerk. The subjoined circular was re.
ceived by the several banks yesterday morning -

that Rodman will have TO remain in jail until he
