arrest of Ferdinand Ward in the Lud-
low street Jail tonight, on COM
plaint Of Bank Examiner Serbia,
who charges that Ward aided and

THE PENN BANK.
The Books Examined, and Statement
Made.


Made.
PITTsBURG, May 27.-The affairs
Of the Penn bank continue to be the
engrossing subject among all classes,
but up to noon there was as little
definitely known as up to the time of
closing yesterday. President Riddle
slept fairly well last night, and this
morning had sufficiently recovered to
enable his friends to remove him to
his residence.
Mr.. D.-A. Steward, the well-known
and experienced banker, made care
ful examination of the books last
night, and every opportunity was
given him to make an official eX-
animation. According to statements
current, the books show that $S3O0,COO
were drawn out by depositors from the
time of resumption, on Friday, until
the close of yesterdy, and deposits de-
creased correspondingly. The state
ment that 100000 were not included
in the statement made to the asssocia-
tion of banks is incorrect. No such
checks are existing. In their opinion,
if the books are correct, the bank
ought TO pay every cent of its debt.
There is less talk of crookedness,
and the impression is growing that
the second suspension was due wholly
to timiGity and Generalization when
President Riddle was suddenly pros
trated. The directors have not yet
made statement, but there is gen
eral demand for something authentic
from them of the banks actual condi-
ton. The general condition Of other
banks is unchanged.R
PITTsBURG, May 27.-The directors
of the First national bank took pos
session of the individual book ac-
counts of the concern, and up to one
o'clock, had struck developments
which promise to show why the sec
'ond collapse came SO suddenly. There
is among the accounts one of the
firm of ID. Wilson & Co., which shows
over checking to the extent OF 1924, 600.
No such firm is Known in this city,
and it is supposed to represent the ac-
counts of a number of persons lately
operating on the wrong side of the oil
market, have been allowed to drain 1t
to the extent named. A director who
furnished the information states fur.
ther, that the account of a prominent
oil dealer had been overdrawn $97,
600. These two amounts represent
overdrafs of $33 600, or $1,000 in ex

the opinion that the investigation was
originally conducted for the purpose
of aiding the representatives in the ap-
preaching presidential canvass by re-
yiving stories of outrage and crime
which were SO effectual in former polIt-

an excuse, if necessary for rejecting the
