BROKEN TRUSTS.


The sudden flight Of Otis D. Swan, Of No. IA
Wall street, reported In yesterdays Herald, was
tho subject Of much comment yesterday among
the large and respectable circle Of bankers ami
brokers who had bustncfs or private associations
with him. Many who had known Swan a. a
light Of the church, leader of society, and one
OF those mrn wh3 try to shine by their moral
and elevated conduct tn ltfc were astontstctl
that such truly gotsd man tou1tl be guilty Of
such flagrant wrong ~ making away with from
&atn, co.. to fU0, ,O0o Of his relatives money and
5000 from the funtls Of Ills Club, tho Cnton

yesterday that Swans transactions werc simply
family matter, all the funds which were mis-
appropriated by him having belonged IL the
family estate. This. however, VA. III direct con-
1lct With the statement nude yesterday morn

ratnre nf the I've Trustees, Otis D. Swan. John
4. Weeks, Jatncs 4. Roosevelt, William II. Fogg,

rollrct all the Interest since last JANUARY of The

the exact amount of Swan't dcfa1ca.ion Of his

their clii1'1sen and he!rf, arc the principal suf
