At Buff 10, N. Y, last weeF: an
application was made before Surrogate
Ferris for the appointment ot..a temporary
Executor of the state of Caroline c. Fill
more, relict of the late President Fillmore.
The presen. Executor is George Gorham,
a reputable lawyer, who had charge of
about 100000 worth of securities belong
ing 10 Mrs. Fillmore. The Executor kept
the securities in the vault of the Erie Co.
Savings Bank. About April 80. 1881,
he went to the bank and asked for securi-
ties. He was admitted to the Presidents
room and the securities were given him.
He sat down at a table, tool the securitle
from the box in which they were kept, and
cut from some of them coupons. His
attention then being called to something
else, he quilted the bank, leaving the
securities lying or the table where he had
been sitting. The bank officials did not
notice them, and he did not Immediately
recalled what he done. The matter was
not again thought Of. About two months
later the President Of the bunk received a
l0,sar fran fhe lawyer in B3ltiinose stating
that under certain condition he could re-
store about sIoo,ooo worth Of securities
stolen from the Erie County Bank some
time before. This wa the first tntimation
that any one in Buh4lo had thatthe securi-
ties were gone. Gotham was thunder
struck. The first offer was to return them
for 50 per cent. of their face value. The
heirs Of Mrs. Fillmore now claim as the
basis Of their application FIR new Exc
cutor that the securities were lost hy the
carelessness of Gorham, ami they allege
that h. recovered them by paying SIS 900
out Of the estate without the Consent of the
widow.
