HedUY DefGJcGtiOn.

\ Chicago despatch of the 18th saws {:
The papers tomorrow morning will publish
particulars of defalcation by Charles w
Angel Secretary of the Pullman Palace
Car Company. From an interview with
Mr.. Pullman the following facts are learn-
ed: Mr.. Angel is a man forty years of
age, agreeable IN manner and exceedingly
competent for the position he occupied.
His social relations have until recently been
of The very best character, aud by years of
good conduct he has won the entire conf
dence Of the company and Of his associates
in business.
About three years ago his wife died,
leaving two infant children. This loss
seemed for a time to impair his mental and
physical health. Lately he has gradually
been recovering good spirits but having
suffered during the past winter disappoiHt-
ment in some social affairs, it now trans
pires he fell into disreputRble associations,
which, however, were unknown even by
his intimate business friends. At about
the usual time for his summer vacation he
proposed to meet Mr. Pullman in New
i ok, as he (Mr. Puilman) was about re-
turning from Europe, and started East for
, that ayOwed purpose. Dir. Pullman reach
ed New Ork on steamer on the Trh inst,
. and as Mr. Angel did not appear for day
or two became anxious regarding him, and
dispatched Angelps brother TO Saratoga
and. other places which he had intended
visiting. Nothing has been learned Of his
Whereabouts up to this date.
The fact that Angel had left no address
or communication in Chicago excited COM
ment here and caused Mr.. Pullman 20 has
ton home and institute thorough exami-
uatiOn. This developed the fact that An
gel had disappeared with funds and Sc
! curltles OF the company. The amount "a
; ken, although considerable is not sufficient,
! to occasion the company any embarrass
ment, nor TO interfere with its regular bus
( mess or dividends. The possible maximum
of loss sustained is $i20, 600, partly in cash
and partly In securities of the company
( which were in his possession as Secretary
The money he drew out OF the bank was
upon two checks of $25, 0GO each, no repre-
/ sentIng to the company'S cashier that he
was sending it to the office OF the company
in New York, aud that proper vouchers
would be returned, thus evading OF over
riding the custom Of the Office which re-
/ quiIed vouchers to accompany every pay
/ ment OF money. So great vas the confidence
rePosed in bis honor and integrity that this
action created no UneaSiness until his
mysterious and protracted absence became
OF itself canse for suspicion. It IS posi-
bic be has converted the sc ecurities, and
| with the proceeds and the money gone 10
Europe. The company is taking most
vigorous measures for Mr.. AngePs appre-
| hension, and proposes, if possible, to recover
the funds and securities Rbstracted by him
but for obvious reasons the measures
adopted cannot be made public
