The Rev. DIR. Warrcn's Conclusions Amer nm
Examination of the books.

BosroN Feb. THE Rev. DR.. Warren, OF
the Christian Mirror. has returned from his In
vcstigalion n; Dexter Nc. and his conclusions
in regard to the dcfalcaion and suicide theory
advanced by certain detectives are published.
Tho alleged deialcation is said to appear on tho
books In two places-ln an entry Of $1,000
charged or to no particular account 10 balance
the books in October. 1877. and in various cash
items. including $500 bond and amounting
altogether 10 $1,000 missing after Treasu-
rcr Barron's death. DR.. Warrcns attention
was first directed 10 tho $4,000 He
found that on July ?. 1875. Mr.. Barron drew his
personal note tor $4,000, payable IN I've wears.
with interest at seven per cont. in favor ot tho
Dexter Savings Bank. aud assigned q life in
surancc policy for $1,000 in the Berkshire Com
panv Of pitisneld, Mass. To the bank as collat-
ora security for the note. 4 memorandum on
tho bnrk of the note explained ihnt this trans
action was intended 20 secure the bank IN case
Of his death. from any loss upon loans by the
bank. hut added that hc did not know oi
nny loss likely to occur. except on railroad
bonds and on n cartnin mortgage which the
trustees had advised. and for which they were
responsible as well as himself. but he said thoy
were not under my, and II any loss was in
cured he wished this note to make Il good.
Tho trustees " tho bank knew nothing % this
generous act until the note md the insurance
policy were found in the safe after Mr.. Barron's
dcnth.
some time after the note was executed. II
seems 10 have occurred to Mr.. Barron that he
had no right to omit this item from his sworn
statement Of the assrts Of the bank. and he ac-
cordnglv added $4,000 10 tho loan account. nj
the SANE time adding $4,000 10 the reserve fund
t. balance the account This was correct. since
the bank wue really so much better OIL than had
previously appeared. Tho record OF this trans
action. Dr. Warren SAYS. Is not the record OF
dedication. bat OF gift to the bank.
As to the missing cash items the explanation
is easy and natural The treasurer was MUIR
dcrod by robbers. What would be the natural
inference Hhout missing cnsh That the thieves
took g. Not only this sum ~ about 81 GOO be-
longing to the bank WINS missing. but large
uockotbook belonging 10 Mr.. Barron. and con-
the robbers got or with $4,000. They are still
NJ large, and the trustees n ycar later begin to
hint that the bank was robbed by tho faithful
treasurer

The Police.

We suppose that il must soon become tho
duty of Mayor COOPER to make new Board
OF Police Commissioners. one or two of the
present Board finished their terms Of Office
long since, and are now merely holding over
until the appointment of thc.r eucrc-sois.
or the whole number Gen SMITH alone
possesses any special qualifications for the
Office; and fora long time past there have
been continual discussions and conflicts IN
the Board sufficient 10 destroy whatever
usefulness it may have had.
1t is difficult If not impossible TO bring
the police into the highest state Of efficiency
and usefulness with its present organi.l-
tion. No body Of soldiers can be OF great
value who are under the orders Of four gem
erals. The police should have but one head
There should be but ono Commissioner;
otherwise there can be no unity and no
proper responsibility in the conduct Of the
department But such change as this is
too much TO expect from the present Lrgis-
lature. It's desire seems 10 Doe 20 hnyc moro
offices rather than to have fewer; and the
Mayor will doubtless be- under the necessity
OF selecting four heads Of the police.
In making these collections there Is ono
