THE DEXTER BANK.
Mr.. Barron's Friends Heard From.

Mr.. Barron's Friends Heard From.
DEXTER, May 16.-The evidence given in
late dispatches to show deficiency in Barron's
accounts has called out from Mr.. Wheeler, of
Dexter, a statement that at the time of Bar
ron's death, and for long time previous
thereto, he had $1100 in United States bonds
deposited with Barron for safe-keeping; that
he instructed Barron to convert the same into
money and use the same himself, or loan to
other persons whenever he desired to do So
and could make the money do better than in
bonds. Some of Barrons friends, while adj
hitting the damaging nature of the Straw and
Crafts entries, claim that the above facts will
show that Barron had available funds at hand
and there was little necessity for him p charge
OIL in the manner alleged for want of cash.
BOSTON, May 16.-A Globe reporter, who
has been in Dexter investigating the recent
developments in the Barron case, claims that
he has conclusive evidence that Mr. Straw
who it is alleged by the directors of the bank
never had any dealing with the bank
did have dealings with it. Just
previous to the date of the chareo
against Straw of $3.50, a mortgage of 800 was
given by DR.. l.. e. Norris to Mr.. S. C. BRAY.
on the part of the Eastern slate quarry of Mon
son. This mortgage was transferred to Mr.. A.
w. Chaplin, and by him transferred to the
Dexter Savings Bank. From the bank it was
taken by Mr.. d. r. Stfaw for collection, land
was charged to him by Barron. On Straw col
lecting he turned the money over to Mr.. Bar
ron and was credited with the amount. There
is here, as will be seen, a discrepancy of $50
between the amount of the mortgage and the
amount stated by Hamilton as charged to
Straw. But Hamilton says Mr. Straw never
had any dealings with the bank, a statement
which this transaction proves untrue.
