Nathan murder:
Reporter-Have vor any private lnfOTma.
:iOn about the Nathan murder:
torrester-I hear from my wife occasion.
ally. but I've learned nothing particular.
Reporter-Do you know who committed
the deed.
forrester-I know perhaps a little too
much tor my own convenience. Not that |
mad hand in il. but because the parties
who are implicated have done everything
they could TO put un JOB on me and get
ne out OF the way. lest | should peach on
them: I've TOO much honor for that, but
they d!d their best ~ secure my conviction.
They put up a woman who swOre to a lie.
and so overdid It that she v.tiated her testi'
mOny and was acquitted.
RepOrte, Gould YOU name she Nathan
murdertrS,
Furrester-i would never do that, but Ill
tell YOU what l am willing 10 do. If the
right parties from New York VIII visit me
here and give me ample evidence that they
arr not in the interest of the kelsO ring. l
will put them on the track in such way
that the apprehension OF the murderer can
or easily effected. know the whole plot.
and know that certain New York officials
necessary that none but detectives of
Kelso's choice shall be prt on the case.
They have now spent several thousands OF
dollars and are no nearer the solution OF
the mystery than at the beginning. Let
proper persons approach lie anu the affair
will no longer be a mystery.
Reporter-Do you expect pardon from
the Governor ON the strength ot your prom
ised developments
Forrester-Not at al. Oscourse should
accept a pardon. but I've no disposition to
base my developments on that ground. I'm
willing to serve out ny eight years. I've
resolved to follow more honorable voca-
ton than before when | get out. 1t does
not pay me to be a thief. I'm getting along
in years, and do not care to run any ris Ks
of penitentiary for life. 1t is dear-bought
and short-lived pleasure to handle other
peoples money aud goods. I've handled
thousands of dollars. but my earnings have
almost all gone to voraclOus detectives.
I've paid out piles of money for my liberty

AN EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE,
4 Bank Cashier Makes r Bonfire of the
Bank's Money and Securities, and
shoots Himself Dead.
)m the Cincinnati! Commercial. 7

From the Cincinnati Commercially
FRANKLIN. Pa. March 1.-THE commit
nitv here was thrown into a state of the
prOtOundest excitement this morning, by
the suicide of Thomas +. Anderson, cashier
of LambertOH's Bank. and one of the old
est cashiers in the oil regions. He opened
the bank az usual. at nine o'clock, and
transacted business with several customers.
He was afterward noticed running in and
out of the bank in an excited manner. and
then hurrying up Thirteenth street, toward
E.s residence.
Smoke was then seen issuing from the
bank. and the persons vino had noticed his
maneuvers entered the bank, suppOsIng it
to be on fire. when they discovered the
CRATE heaped up with bank notes. bonds
and bank papers rapidly being consumed
by the fire. The ire was eXtinguished
quickly as possible, ard the notes. bonds,
etc. drawn out. Some were in a charred
condition. while others were burned TO
ashes. Upon reaching his residence. some
three squares distant. he entered by the
back way, and. handing his wife letter,
said that he was about 10 commit an awful
act. at the same time exposing a pistol
which he held in his hand. She endeavOred
TO take it from him, but ne tore himself from
her. stepped few steps down into the yard.
raised his hand and fired. the ball enter
ing the right temple. His wife fell fainting.
His consciousness returned. at intervals
of short duration. for an hour or more, but
he gave no explanation for the act. and at
half-past twelve o'clock expired. Several
letters were left by him. but their contents
have not as yet been made public. A note
lef. on the counter said that he had de
stroyei all the special deposits and bills re-
ceivabe. Thlrty-eighr thousand dollars was
the amount of Mr.. Lamberton's individual
government bonds. but the amount alb
solutely destroyed can not be as yet ascer'
tanned.
The United States Treasurer has been
telegraphed to send some one at once to ex-
anime the charred bonds and notes. What
led to this can not be positively ascertained.
II is generally supposed, however, that his
irregularities in conducting the business
was the cause. It ;s known that he was
carrying large over drafts for the accommo-
datiOn OF personal friends unauthorized by
the bank The bank was soon 10 change
hands, and he was required to have the ac'
counts and books in complete order at a
certain date. which would expose these IT,
regularites. The bank loses heavily, but
the losses will not affect its standing. Ev-
cry confidence is felt in its security.
