WILLLAM j. BEST ARRESTED.
Charged with Embezzling $4,000
Which He Held in Trust.

William j. Best was arrested in New
York yesterday and taken to Boston. He
is charged with embezzling $4,000 which
he held as trustee under the will of the late
Francis w. Carruth of New York city. The
money was left in trust for the benefit of
W. W. Carruth, son of the testator. Young
Carruth succeeded In obtaining SO 900 from
President Bcnyon of the Pacific Bank be.
fore the collapse Of that institution. As
security for his note he pledged the income
of the fund left by his father. Trustee Best
acknowledged the assignment. This all
preceded the failure of the bank in May,
1882. When Receiver Price took charge OF
the institution he found Carruths notes
with their purported security, but with no
record of the payment OF. anything under
the assignment of income Best was practi-
cally in charge of the bank between the
time Of the suspension and the failure. The
receiver and young Carruth applied to the
Probate Court for the removal of Best and
the appointment of a new trustee. The
application was granted and Charles A.
White was appointed. The new trustee
sought to obtain an accounting from Mr..
Best. Facts were finally learned which
tended to show that Best had sold some Of
the securietes that formed the trust, and
had lost Others in speculation. The case
was recently brought before the grand jury,
and an indictment was found against Best.
Mr. Best is well known in this city: He
has frequently been Il visitor here, and was
at one time prominently before the public
as the prosecutor of charges filed against
Mr.. Knox, late Comptroller Of the Cur
rency who was accused Of gross irregu-
larities in connection with the defunct
Pacific Bank. The matter was the subject
of a special Congressional investigation,
by which Mr.. Knox was yindicated.
