The Case Of Col. Hard.

From tho Rut anu ulope' august l.
In an interview with a reporter of the
Globe. Yesterday, 5. NJ. West, Secretary OF
the Arlington Car Company, stated that he
had made thorough examination OF the
books, and that Mr.. Hard's defalcation. II
anything. is very small-not more than
$500 at the outside. This the bail will not
have to meet The books were not balanced
at the time, and Mr.. Hard may not have
known of the deficiency, as it is nothing
more than any person is liable to run be-
hind in conducting large business. lie
further saws that none OF the bondsmen-
Crofut and A. E. Bartlett-have ever stated
that the defalcation amounted to $4,000.
His bondsmen and those most familiar
with the case believe that Col. Hard has
simply left the town for some unexplained
reason and may yet return, and that no one
in Airing ton knows Of his whereabouts. The
statement that "Mr. West is satisfied that
the son, as well as Mrs. Mclaughlin 1.-THE
housekeeper), knows where Hard Is, Mr..
West pronounces utterly false. He is salts
fed of nothing of the sort. This leaves the
matter as great a mystery as at first, but
clears Col. Hard of any suspicion of defal-
cation or dishonesty.
1t is rumored that the body of the man
taken from the North river. New York. an
swers the description of Col. Ii. $. Hard.
Mr.. Kendall, of Airing ton, went to New
York Monday, to view tho body of the
drowned man.
The Globe says editorially
The mysterious disappearance" Of Col
onel Hard, of Arlington, notwithstanding
the denial published elsewhere. seems to be
the same old, old story of fcndness for
wine and women, high living and extra
yagancc, consequent deialcation and lack
of courage to remain and face tho music.
1t is said that those whom it is supposed he
has defrauded do not propose to endeayor to
bring him to Justice.
The Rutland Herald says:
Col. Hard's accounts have not yet been
examined. Mr.. Sheldon. of Bennington,
attorney for the company of which he was
receiver, thinks that an examination will
show that his accounts are straight.
The managers Of the Arlington car mar
ufacturing company and the bondsmen of
Col. H. s. Hard. appeared before Judge
Dunton, yesterday. and made application
for the appointment OF new receiver.
The Bennington Centennial says:
Col. Hard has of late years suffered from
pecuniary reyerses. superadded to which has
been domestic affection which We hesitate
to unveil. Ills wife, the mother of his chill
dren, has for many years been an inmate Of
the insane asylum at Brattleboro, and late
visit found her 50 demented that she did not
recognize him, which may have caused his
insanity.
