ARREST OF DEPrTY-COLLECToE vADES-FUR-
TIER DISCOVERIES MADE--PARTICuLARs OF
TIE TROUBLE.
Deputy-Collcctor-of-C Customs {. Il. Walden,
charged with embczzlcment of Government
funds. was arrested at his residence, Sl3
west Grace street. Sunday morning, by
Dcpuiy-Marshal Thompson.
Saturday morning Special-Treas,ry- 4 gent
Aver arrived here in obedience to orders
from the Department at Washington, and
proceeded to investigate the accounts OF
Mr.. Walden. Some reports OF his were
irregular, and had excited the suspicion OF
the departmental officers that all was not
right in tho Richmond Office. Mr.. Walden
was requested by DR.. Mills to give Mr..
Aver in his undertaking all the assistance
possible. Shortly afterwards Mr.Vadcn went
out OF the office, and was absent some time
before much attention was drawn TO the
matter. DR.. Mills in the meantime received
Il note from Mr.. Walden stating that his ac-
counts were short. and that he did not i'll
tend to return TO the Office.
DR.. Mills immediately went to Justice W.
Hail Crew and sworc out q warrant against
Mr.. Nadcn, charging him with cmbezzling
the nominal amount OF Scyenty-fyc dollars
in Government funds. Thi. was placed in
the hands OF the police, and Sergeants
Whilock and Jetcr made Intellectual efforts
to discover the whereabouts OF Mr.. Walden.
Saturday evening about 5 or o'clock
another warrant was taken out by Mr.. Aver,
but Mr.. Walden was not found that night.
lie. however, returned to his home n short
while after the officers had left, and. was
there taken into custody Sunday morning.
Mr.. Walden was admitted to bail in $1,000,
py-
II o'clock yesterday it was discovered that
the deialcation certainly footed up more
than Sl,10Q, and the bail was increased to
$1,000. How much more than 81, 100 the
dcialcation will amount TO it is hard to tell
yet. but the probabilities are that it will
considerably exceed that amount. All the
information upon which to form an esti-
mate is not yet at hand.
1t seems that Mr.. Walden had been in the
habit OF collecting tonnage and steamboat
inspection dues and not reporting them TO
tte Collector. The tonnage dues are paid
annually by the vessel at the port she is in
about the time they become due, and it is
the duty OF the officer to take up the old re-
ceipt OF the master, give the master copy,
and forward the original 10 the Depart
ment.
In several cases the proof against Mr.. Va
den is thought TO be very positive. Indeed,
TO some OF his friends he has admitted that
he made the collections for which he is now
held accountable, and that the moncy he
lost at the gaming table.
Mr.. Walden belongs to Il highly respectable
family. was IN officer in the Confederate
States army, and always had a fine character
for honesty and good demeanor. He has a
wife and three children, who are now on i
visit to the country.

Having been recently called upon to
testify in New York in the investigation OF
the affairs ef the Universal Life-Insurance
Company, and having my attention called
to-day, on my return to Richmond, to an
article taken from the New York Times, in
your paper OF Monday the Goth instant, |
beg leave, in justice to myself, to correct
some OF its statements. Ii makes me say
had been familiar with Richmond property
since 1856. said had been familiar with
Richmond property since 1928, and that the
Ballard House was built in 1856. The
article makes me say that it was
in good location. when | said
its location was great mistake, rs it could
be utilized for no other purpose. and | VEN
turcd to say that had it been built on Main
street at any point between Ninth and
Fourteenth streets, or on Broad street be-
tween Fourth and Ninth streets, that it
would sell for ut least 100000 more than il
will bring where now located. Then, for
some paragraphs he states ME correctly.
And. again, he makes me say 4 majority OF
real estate would not bring more than hall
the assessed valuation. This | did not
say. l did say that majority OF rea
estate would not bring assessed value; that
1t was assessed too high and unequally that
much of it would not bring within % per
cent. OF its valuation, and some not more
than half its valuation; and | referred to
locations where that had been the case.
am made to say that the city assessment on
the Ballard House was SSl 600, and the
State assessment 4 little over one third OF
that sum. Ny statement was that the city
assessment was SS1 900 and the State assess.
ment $4,000.
I ask you to publish this card. made by
nlc rs brief rs possible, to put myself right
before this community. was examined at
considerable length. and would not object
to any or all OF that examination being
made public. provided it be only what die
