MORE STEALING.


An Executor Appropriates 100000 of an
Estate in His Care.
New YORK. Oct. 16-George T. Plume,
broker of 81 Exchange Place. and living at the
Clarendon Hotel, is charged by connections of
the Lamont family with having misappropriat-
ed nearly S400,00 Charles A. Lamont, for
merly sugar refner and afterwards Wall
street broker, fell from window of his house
in 9th avenue in the tall of 1873, and was kill.
ed He left an estate of nearly $4,000 to the
Care of his wife as executriX. and Francis Skid
dy and George T. Plume as executors. Plume
was formerly Lamonts partner in the sugar
business, had the latter's entire confidence and
had complete trust put in him by Mrs. Lamont
property. which consisted of United States
bonds, bonds of other kinds aud first class
mortgages, of total value of $500, 900 left in
his hands.
There was no suspicion that Plume was
faithess to his trust till last week, when a con-
nectiou of Lamont family states that he confess
ed to Mrs. Lamont that he was unable to ac-
count for the sureties placed in his hands. To
reporters who called ON him this evening,
Plume admitted there were difficulties 10 his
accounts with the state, but said 1t was fani-
ly affair and of no public interest and that the
amount concerned dad been enormously exag-
gerated.
Those who make the charges against Plume
also say it is family affair and that they have
40 intention of taking any proceedings against
Plume. 1t is said on the street that Plume had
been specializing heavily on "puts" and calls
and lost largely. Mrs. Lamont and her chill.
dren still have real estate left by Mr. Lamont
and insurance policies on his life amounting to
nearly $500, 900, SO they are left in comfortable
