But Slight Effect, However.
NASHVILLE, July 14.-A great sensa-
tiOn was caused here yesterday by the
discovery that Thursday night some one
stole from the State Treasurer's Office a
bank. ledger containing accounts with
depositors, from May, 1877, to January,
1888. The book was kept for NJ. T. Polk,
now on trial here, by Captain j. c. Flem-
ing, and contains entries relied on by the
prosecution to convict Polk. Its disap-
pearance is greatly commented on. A
reward of $3.50 is offered for the return of

who stole it. No doubt is entertained that
the facts necessary for conviction can be
secured without the book.
