BosToN. Jan. 31.-The report that Barron,
the former Cashier of the Dexter (Maine)
Savings Bank, committed suicide, is con-
frmed. 1t is supposed that three days be-
fore his death the report of coming run
on a neighboring bank frightened him into
selt-destructinn, knowing that run would
cause the suspension of his own bank,
which would lead to an official examna-
ton and reveal his own Irregularities. The
theory that he could not have locked the
vault door behind him has been exploded
by the performance of that feat by a bank
expert in the presence of the bank officials.
