The Ottawa free trader. [volume] (Ottawa, Ill.) 1843-1916, 1878-03-23
THE BANKERS SUICIDE.

Liberty was not a large town, but it was
large enough to own banking house which
did a thriving business.
The President of the institution, who also
filled the position of cashier, was Jasper Trcn-
than, whtchaircd old man. who was well
up in the seventies, but still possessed of much
physical and mental strength.
His family consisted of Il rather beautiful
daughter named Amy. She did the honors of
the bankers house.
Those who pretended to be well informed
said that good deal Of love was being wasted
between Amy and young Mr.. Walters the cor.
porations teller.
Al the same time others declared that the
teller had been supplantcd in the girls graccs
by Jerome Mcdonald, dark faced cX-army
officer who had lately taken up his residence
in the place This latter parsonage had served
with some distinction in the late civil war be
tween the States, and was reported to be worth
considerable
He seemed TO WOO Amy Trentham boldly
and in the face of the gossps, and there werC
not a few who openly said that she had bes
capture the Major while the opportunity re
manned.
But Amy appeared TO know what was best
fcr she suddenly broke off with Mcdonald
and, much to his Chagrin, smiled upon tn,
teller
About this time a new patent chronometc
lock was attached to the safe in the vault o

by Judge to jury was delivered IN st. Louis
during the anti-slavery excitement forty years
ago. A mulatto, who had killed apoliceman
was taken out of Jail at night by mob, tied tc
a tree and roasted TO death. 1t became the
duty of Judge Lawless TO bring the matter be
fore the Grand Jury and the Alton Qll.) 1'ele
