UGH heavy defalcations, sparing
neither women nor friends, should
iavo possessed the unbounded conf
ionco OF all, with nevor whisper of
lught but good, until all that was NOR
al had taken its flight. EV erybody
everybody respected
-im, and yet IL would seem that he
was worthy of nothing good, So
strange is this that even nov there are
people who say they do not believe he
did any wrong Intentionally. There |
Is moro than one curious feature |
about this affair "What did John |
Nichols do with these large amounts |
OF moncy?" is asked on
every side, but as yet nothing
authentic can DO stated. or course |
Madam RumOr is not idle, and q talk
with an half dozen mon will develop
equally as many reports as to how he
disposed Of It, bgJ they all lack con
firmation when sifted down. The
amount Of
HIS DEFALCATIoNs
are now said TO bo much larger than
mas hitherto been supposed. Besides
his shortage in the bank and with the
city, he is said TO owe large sums
to different people. II is
said that no frequently
borrowed on his simple personal not9
sums OF money which had been
brought to be depoeited in the bank.
There is ono case of an engineer, who
h3d saved M 5000 by hard work and
close economy. This was carried TO
the bank for deposit, but was borrowed
by Mr.. Nichols personally, There are
many other similar cases in the city,
which will swell tho amount of ia
dcbLoGness considerably, and 20 still
further TO show how gigantic aud sys-
tomato were his methods OF Oporat-
ing. TO is also said that the estate OF
