The Death OF MIR. Mills Relieved "a
Brooklyn Trust Company Minus
| sSOO,OO0. =
NEW YORK, July 20.-The belief that
MIR. Mills. late president Of the Brooklyn
trust company, committed suicide is be-
coming quite general. It is said that on
the day before his death some of the direc-
tors Of the bank informed him that an ex-
animation of his accounts would be CONF
menced next day. Monday afternoon Mr..
Mills obtained full settlement of his land
agent, and deposited a check which he
received from the latter on Nassau bank to
his wife's credit. After this transaction
he settled the accounts of his butcher and
baker, which were usually paid at the end
Of each month.
Ii well authenticated rumors circulated
last evening are to be accredited,
Mills conduct at Coney Island du-
ring the last night of his life gives
material support to the suicide theory. 1t
is stated that he did not retire to his bed
room until very late hour, aud next
morning it was found that his bed
had not been slept in. At the time of his
death. these facts were studiously concealed,
but yesterday those in possession Of them
concluded that further secrecy was useless.
1t is said in Brooklyn to-day that an ex-
animation of the books of the bank as far
as possible last night developed the loss of
100000.
fLATER.l
NEW YORK, July 21.-Additional ex-
citement was caused in Brooklyn financial
circles to-day by the announcement that
Judge Alexander McCue, the largest
stakeholder Of the Brooklyn trust compa-
ny, and OH whose application it was forced
to suspend payment, has, since Mills
death, been transferring his real estate in
hasty blocks to his vile to secure himself
from loss in case the company is insolyent.
The transfers, which embrace one lot
worth 100000, are first made out by
McCue to Edgar M. Cullen, then by the
latter to McCue's wife. In addition to the
deposits hitherto reported the United States
government had 5000 900 with the compa-
ny, N. H. Clement $4,000, and DR.. Bry-
ant $4,000. The more searching the in
vestigation the worse the condition of the
concern appears to be. The secretary, M.
I. Rodman, denies that he is also a de-
faulter, asserting that the bonds furnished
as security will fully cover the loan to him
from the company of $4,000.
