HE PLEADS NOT GUILTY.

Mr.. Davis, with Mr.. Hollinshead, looked
over the complaint, and consulted
together for few minutes, when Mr.. Davis
stated that the defendant waived the reading
of the complaint, plead not guilty, and asked
that bail be fixed at as low figure as it could
be under the circumstances. Mr.. Congdon,
who appeared for the prosecution, after cali
ing the attention of the court to the nature of
the complaints, said there were thirteen
different complaints, and expressed the
hope that the court would fix the
the bail at such figure as would ensure
the attendance of the defendant when
wanted.
BAIL FIXED AT $4,000.
The commissioner shuffied the different
complaints over in his hand and said there
were eleven of them, amounting in all to over
$40, 900. He could not fix the bail at less than
$40 600, and therefore settled upon that sum.
Gov. Davis expressed the belief that
they would be able to obtain
the amount during the afternoon and
asked the commissioner If he would be at the
custom house or where he could be reached.
The commissioner replied that he would be
where he could De found as late as o'clock.
This closed the proceedings before the COM
missioner, and the prisoner was returned TO
the Jail, while his relatives and attorneys went
to work to obtain the bail required. The
commissioner waited at the custom house
till O'Clock last night, but the defendant
did not appear, and the bail was not given. 1t
is understood that the difficulty OF making out
so many bail bonds, one for, each case, was
the reason that the required bail was not given
and that they will be given this morning or
Monday.

The following personal property was trans
ferrcd on the books of the city clerk yester
day morning: To Clarence and Julia A Judd,

HOW 1T WAS DISCOVERED.
| A good deal of curiosity has been expressed
as to how the embezzlement was discovered
| by the bank. 1t is affirmed that about three

ed away from the bank about o'clock in the
afternoon and left his work unfinished for the
| day and during MS absence tne DoOKS were

cry thing balance to cent. When he pre-
sented the balance sheet to MIR. Upham.
| the president. he was inquired of
as to how he made the books balance when
they did not balance the night before. The
explanation he gave was accepted but it was
not at all satisfactory. OF course, the books
were examined and it was found that the de-
PENDANT was an embezzler. When confronted

aided the officers in tracing it out
MR.. vANDERHoFF IN JAIL.
The defendant is now in Jail and bearing his
imprisonment as patiently as he can. Several
of his friends visited him during the day, and
to all he expressed confidence and asked sus-
pension of public opinion till he could have
an opportunity of placing before the public
his version of the affair. He did not hesitate
to affirm that he could absolve himself from
all criminal liability. Now his lips were
sealed, but that he would make his defense in
the courts at the proper time, and was con-
fident he would be able to make everything
clear.
