Mr. Michael kecley said that there we're some
items which he possibly could not explain, but
he would do the best he could. He
had examined the books Of the bank,
and found Col. Taylor's estimate to be
correct. There were 4 number Of small mort
cages included in the assets, mostly made to
depositors in the bank. The last balance-sheet
Issued represented that there were S1,110,OoO
worth OF mortgages, but all the Committee
found was s525,o0o worth. AL, or nearly all, of
these we're small mortgages, too small for Mr.
Spencer to comfortably hypothecatc: The next
item was that of s.Notes secured by collat-
erals" That item Is over million Of dollars,
anc' as lar as the Committee can make out, is
utterly worthless. The Assignee estimates
what is nominally s672,0O0 as being possibly
worth So. .M. Spencer left his own Individual
note tor S525,0o0, and bY stroke Of the pen
annihilated half a million dollars Of indebted
ness.
\ voice-I move that Long John have anotf-
er say so.

when the assignment was made is there

As long rs they are in my
charge they will be there. The unfortunate
mistake that have made is in taking the po-
sition that now hold, and atm not going to
continue with that unfortunate mistake.
4 voice-That's right,
Col. Taylcr-As soon as any man can be
agreed upou that has the confidence Of the de-
positors, and is known to be an honest man
aud will protect you-
voiccs-Long John, Long John.
: Col. Taylor-lf it is tonight,
I WILL sTEP OUT AND LET HIM IN.
1 am ready to do anythng,-to turn
it over immediately to any honest
man that has Your confidence. Since
have been there have attempted to follow
up every piesc Of property could sec, for the
purpose Of seeing whether 1t could be made
available to you. 1 have also attempted to iol-

to try to get them within your grasp. lAp--
