Preparing TO Pursue and Punish the Man
who has been so Generally Trusted.
In business circles the disappearance Of
Otis d. Swan was the absorbing topic yeterday.
An ofcer of the Seamen's Savings Bank said I;
"Why he had the confidence OF every ono. And
as to his business qualifications, they wero re-
glrded rs unsurpassed. II Is for this reason that
lie hold 80 many positions Of trust. have never
met man so apt in Rraspin9 the idets Of DIFF
fcront men. and giving in terse expression that
which would embody the views Of all.
This Is why he was made secret Try
OF 80 many different institutions. have
known him for years, and have been IS
sociated with him IN the.boards of several cor
poratons. In the New York Hospital, for in
stance, he was regarded as an able acquisition to
our board. IIs position was not such "a to give
him control OF any Of the money, but we all bad
confidence In his integrity, and all trusted him.
Quick with his pen, the accounts were turned
over to him to make out the regular statements.
His efficiency in this respect is beyond dispute.
| was simply dumbfounded when heard Of his
fall, and with the proofs " 1t staring Inc In the
face, can still hardly realize it,"
A relative of Mr. swan said: The aggregate
Of the family loss npprOximates $3DiOD, as
stated In HE SuN. Our feeling now for him Is
one Of confederation
The details Of eacn individua,'s loss aud the
entire amount OF lhc famil,'s estate, are with
held a. concerning only the afflicted family.
Mr.. Swan was also connec'ed with the manage
ment of the PRESBYTERIAN Hospital. hut said
a gentleman who Is wel M In the affairs of that
institution, d" his position was not Of n nduciir
KIND, hence the hospital cannot be numbered
among the sufferers. That there nre Individual
sufferers Is beyond doubt. Their losses, how
ever, come under the head OF friendly udvAnCes,
ana the amounts will never he known"
Another gentleman Of high financial standing
In Wall street said have known Of q num-
ber Of men, numbers that could not count on

their speculation In this street, hut. as fuie,
the discovery Of their crime brought with II
condemnation from everybody Ots ID. Swan Is
the only min IN my recollection whose deialc i
tion has been met everywhere with sympathv.'
Even IN the linton League CluD. whose loss
might be made the ground OF q criminal action.
every denunciatiln m OF the act IS tempered with
"a sympathetic word for swan.
1t Is ueheved that swans defalcations Will ag
ercgate more IN N 100000. NonUdy Is making
any active effort to ma out his whereabouts.
One Of MS relatives said last night. " We DO not

his Own Responsibility.

New ORLEANS, Dec. IA delegation of
Democratic Senators called on Gov. Kellcgc to-

had barricaded the state Capitol. Kellogg re-
piled In substance that he had done this on his

He said nobody should be permitted to enter
without pass from himself or Lieut.. Gen. An

Col J. W. Patton was summoned before Mr.
Morrisons committee to-day. Being asked
In cross-exsminaton whether he knew

the several years past, he named Mr.. Robert
Brown, member of the State Committee, who
was killed few weeks ago In st. Bernard parish

in Ascension, who was called to his front door
and went unsuspectingly, accompanied by his
little daughter when both wefo fred on and
severely wounded by a gang Of negro

Of Ascension, who was waylaid by band of ne
eroes, stripped, tied across log and struck FIVE

" frightened BabcocS n Co., and they have been
with Avery ever since his arrival In town, prom
