letters received from General Grant were of
such tenor as TO warrant any one in having
confidence in the representations made by
Ward.

At a meeting of the Metropolitan Rank
directors Yesterday morning the President
said that ihe denosits had decreased about
50, 900, 600 since the suspension, but showed
no further diminution this week. Many
letters had been received from former de-
positors, which would seem to show that
they would again become depositors. Sew
.eral new accounts had been opened in the
past few days, and the bank was entirely
sound in every particular.

Examiner Serbia. who charges that
Ward aided and abetted President James
ID. Fish in misappropriating the funds of
the Marine Bank. The affidavit rccites the
same facts as in the case of Fish, giving the
amount drawn out of the bank by Grant u
Ward as 1915, 900, and concludes with
charging Ward with having ''aided, abettcd,
.counseled and procured said James ID. Fish
to commit the otfenses with intent to injure
and defraud the Marine Bank for his own
benefit and advantage"
The United States Commissioner has held
". Evans, Cornelius I. Simpson and John
