Rogers has been employed as receiving teller
of The Fulton Bank since 1871. Previous to
thattime he was employed in the City Bank,
and in. the Commercial Bank of Brooklyn,
and prior to going to Brooklyn he was in
bank in Detroit. He has always had the
entire confidence OF all the institutions in
which he has been employed, and is spoken
of az a man Of plain and transformations
habits. He occupied the second floor of
house In Union street, south Brooklyn. His
wife says that he was always kind to her,
and she is utterly at a loss to account for his
present action. He was living with his se~
cond wife, his only child being boy about
sixteen years old, by his first wife. The
bank officers say that Its business will not be
disturbed 10 the least; that Rogers had given
bonds on entering upon his duties for
$4,000, and that the 1850 given by him to
his wife and mother bad all been recovered,
so that at the outside the bank will not lose
more than about $4,000, even should the
thief never be captured.
Other accounts state that Mrs. Rogers is 8
native of Baltimore, and that It was believed
that Rogers had fed to this State. The
police authorities in Baltimore state that
they were in Communication with those Of
New York about week ago with reference
to the above affsir. They also say that
Rogers is not In Baltimore or Maryland,
though hemay have possibly passed through
on his way further South. The statement
that Mrs. Rogers is native of Baltimore Is
incorrect. & i 80

.sconding teller of the Fulton Bank, Brook
lyn,, defrauded the institution out Of about
1000, which is double the amount first
stated. There is no danger of any Interrupt
ton of the business of the bank, as the insti-
tuition is backed by ex- Mayor Lambert, its
President; William Kingsley, and Alexan-
der McCue, all of whom are said to be very
wealthy. Detectives are said to have traced
