A LITTLE DIALOGUE.
'How much do you suppose l am
worth?' asked Mr.. Emo.
"'Well,' said the director in question,
naming his authority, I was told four
years ago that you were worth $4,000, 900.
"'Then my wealth hes been very much
over.estimated, answered Mr.. Euo.
"sYou must recollect, Mr.. Eno,' con.
timed tho director, that you urged US TO
make your sou President Of the bank
How can you say that I urged you p
retorted Mr.. Emo.
Why, surely you must remember, Mr..
Emo, that you recommended him very
highly ,-''7 =
We'll, 1 don't like the word urged, ;
Mr.. Emo answered. ri
"'Whe1 did you first know of the deficit,
Mr.. Emo 2 asked his interlocutor. -
"'On Sunday lest. Up to that time I
never had suspicion that anything was
wrong ~ n
"Wel, the end Of the matter was that
each Director drew his check for large
sum OF money, aud 60 ives made up the
amount required over and above Mr.. Eno's
contribution" n
"How much was the deficit and what
proportion Of it did Mr.. Enc make up ?"
asked the reporter.
swell, lcan't go into fgurea, but the de-
felt waa even larger than it has been stated
in the newspapers, and it is true, a, l said
before, that Mr.. Emo made good the greater
part Of it; but under the circumstances he
ought to have made it all good"
"What means did young Emo use to get
the money out Of the bank? ?"
ESo's METHOD. r
"The bank has vault in one OF the down
town Repositories, the Mercantile, think,
for the safe keeping Of its securities, and
much Of its business is done down town
For example, there is very little demand
up town for loans and discounts. Young
Emo would stay down town nearly all day
and when he would lose 100000, 100000
or $500. 900, would givo check for the
amount on the bank. Then when he re-
turned to the bank he would write Acti
tious name upon alp OF paper, hand it tc
the cashier, and gay that he had made &
loan for the amount and to the person in.
dicated, on good securities, which he haG
examined in the banks compartment il
the safe deposit. Generally he would take
the precaution to enumerate the mythica
securities upon the slip Of paper. In thai
way he completely averted suspicion, anG
led the cashier, whose integrity is unques
toned, to believe that the money had al
gone out on loans in the regular course O
business. understand that Mr.. Emo, sr,
has said that his sons deiaulting opera
tions began soon after lie was made Presi
dent Of the bank, somewhat more than twt
yearslago." :
5"Do the Directors other. than Mr.. En-,
propose to prosecute John G. Eno?"
s"Well, l would rather not say, but cal
| tell you this much, that steps are taking t,
ascertain where all the money has gone to
and whether any OF it can be recovere,
either by the establishment Of collusion OF
the part Of those to whom it went or in an,
other way."f =. ,
'"Then no criminal prosecution is con
templated :" ., - @
II can't answer that question. am No
at liberty.to Say what will Or what will no
be done." =.
sIt is said that, after all, Mr.. Eno's chic
REASON for putting up the money ia to shiel
his son from criminal prosecution. Do yo
know whether be has shown any dispos
ton to that end ?" .551
\ San ! know is that be said, 81 hav,
told you, that he did not put up the none
to save his eon, as he knew that nothiu
could be done for him." s,;5
"You say'that the Directors other tha

what they can from young Emo. Has th
