Sensational DEVELOPMENTS in Connection
with the Newark Bank.

NEW YORK, Dec. 17.-Some rather
sensational developments have come to
light in the inyesti cation into the affairs
of the broken Mechanics bank of New
ark. Legal steps have just been taken
to prevent Baldwin from conveying GER
tain real estate and personal property
held by him. The bill filed in the case
says that the private account of Oscar
L. Baldwin with the bank reached
$2.OO0, 900 in one year, and that for ten
years the average has been about $780,
600 year. Il also says that special
expert has discovered that Baldwin mis-
stated the facts when he said that the
whole of the deficiency had been sWal-
lowed up by business transactions
with the firm of Nugent s. Company,
as the greater part was used TO pur-
chase stocks and bonds, and for other
speculations. The bill further says that
the TWO brothers were in COLLISION III
these transactions and the funds abstract
ed were used in the interest of Theodore
+. Baldwin, who carried on an exit nsive
stock speculation with RyersOn 81 BoOle !;
from 1877 until the failure Of the bank,
and during that time he lost $45 coo,
which was paic and he still has $4,000
on deposit TO cover margins. All this
occurred while Baldwin was drawing
salary of So, 500 8 year, and had no other
legitimate income. The building once
owned by the Young Mems Christian
Association was altered into theater at
an expense of $25. 200 which was paid by
Theodore Baldwin. It now belongs to
