The New Bloomfield, Pa. times. (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1877-188?, 1880-12-28

Exactly. The operations 10 question
resulting in loss of G900, / tried to
cover that loss, and lost again; and
third time the same bad fortune pursued
me-"
"Dld not Forbes endeavor to stop you
in this fatal way OF covering first
loss ~
"No; he had seen me pay smaller
losses over and over again without any
hesitation, and he had no doubt about
my solvency."
"And what was the end of all these
speculations 2"
My insolvency; and Forbes being
my broker, had to settle up. 1 must
add, that upon my admission of the facts
to him, together with an intimation that
should he able to meet all my llabill-
ties If time were given to me, Forbes
behaved himself very unhandsomely."
In fact" said the magistrate, cit
resulted in something very like per-
sonal encounter, did it not, outside the
doors of the stock Exchange ?"
"That is quite the truth"
"And what was the end of the dis
pute 7"
undertook to give, and did give,
him bills 10 the amount of e2,0OO."
Where are those acceptances ?''
No doubt the police have found them
in my chambers, since it is evident, as
gather concerning the over-coat, that
my place has been over er-haued."
"Oh, yes; they have been found in
your chambers. How came they
there 2"
'Very easily. had met them, and
taken them, as matter of course"
From whom ?"
Forbes himself"
"When?"
"The day of his death-the day upon
which the bills fell DUE"
" But you called upon him that day,
and found nobody at home.'
"Quite true; and was told he would
not be home before the evening. So L
followed him to the City, overlook him
in Lombard Street, and paid my ac-
ceptances. Naturally, was afraid of
him after our quarrel ; and dreaded that,
If L did not at once pay before midday,
he might protest the bills, and damage
me for life as a man of honor"
" 1t appears to me-" said the magis-
trate, very strange that you should
pay so large sum of money in the open
street -
Not at all. Amongst City men, very
great transactions are often effected at a
street corner. 1 overlook him in Lom-
bard Street; and then and therefor we
did not care for each others company
paid him; when, of course, announced
there was an end to all transactions
between u.s."
" l am at loss to understand that he
should have the acceptances with him."
"Why not9 Many clerk has in
the course of single day acceptances to
fifty times that amount in his pocket
book. Forbes had not put my ac-
oeptances into circulation. He looked
upon them as private papers; took them
home to his chambers, and probably
carried them with him into the City, in
the full hope of protesting them ; and he
certainly would have protested the docu-
ments if had not prevented the act"
" But l must tell you that Forbes had
remarked to several persons that he
never expected to get farthing of the
money. He said nothing during the
day to the effect that he had been paid.n
Il know nothing about that. Per-
maps he did not meet with any of our
mutual acquaintances."
Yes; he dined with two of them
about five in the evening of the day
when he was killed."
Sivory was not disconnected by these
pointed words. After pause, he said,
i suppose he had something else to
think about and talk about. Again, it
is sometimes imprudent TO say to a
friend, L have received so much money,
not shilling of which L ever expected
to possess Under such circumstances
friend is apt to propose loan, and a
refusal puts one sometimes in position
of much embarrassment
Certainly, Mr.. Slvory, the man
would be clever, apparently, who could
embarrass you; you've always got an
answer to every inquiry"
The magistrate was now speaking
with extreme ill-humor. The others
utter calmness, and ability in defending
himself, had, at last, totally irritated the
magistrate.
