couLp,s CRIMES.

The crime or rather the series Of crimes
committed by William Z. Gould, for which
he has now begun to suffer the penalty of the
law. was without extenuation or excuse. 1t
was not the case of man who, momentarily
yielding to strong and sudden temptation,
had fallen and then repented and confessed
1t appears from the report of the bank ex-
aminer that Gould has been pursuing a
criminal career for years. For his first GRIM
inal act there may have been, and very likely
was, some extenuation. Probably it was
committed under the pressure of sudden
and serious peeuniary loss. But his first act
was followed by others for which no extenu-
alton can be found. Some of them. such as
the making of false records in the books,
were the results of other criminal acts,
that is they were committed to con-
ceal former acts, but others were sep
arate and Independent. He stole the
banks funds not once, but repeatedly.
He stole them not only when he was under
financial stress and found them necessary to
save him from bankruptcy, but he stole them
when there was no such pressure, simply to
enable him to crafty his tastes and love for
display. He appears to have come to regard
the bank as his own private property and
whenever he wanted money. whether to
build palace or to meet the losses incurred
in an unlucky speculation he helped himself.
he was bright man and he must have
known that he could not 60 on year after
year stealing the banks money without be-
ing found out, and yet the fear of discovery
seems not to have weighed upon his mind.
Indeed he appears to have been so little
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1886-10-01

troubled by any consideration of that kind
that he neglected some very OBJ
yious precautions to avoid exposure.
HeIfaunted his stealings In the face of the
public by his extravagant method Of living,
and the wonder is that the suspicious of the
officials of the bank were not long ago
aroused. 1t is impossible when the cold
facts of his care are considered to feel much
sympathy for him. AT any rate it is inn
possible to deny the justice of his punish
ment He knew the right, but the wrong
pursued, and that too deliberately and for
long period. He appears disposed to claim
credit for confessing his crimes, but it must
be remembered that he did not confess until
he was found out, he did not acknowledge his
criminal acts as long as concealment of them
was possible. His confession was not volun-
tary, it was forced from him by Irresistible
evidence of his outlines.
Mr.. Gould's success in concealing for SO
long period his defalcations from the bank
can be explained only on the hypothesis that
the officials whose duty it was from time to
time to examine the condition of the bank
were guilty of neglect A critical examina-
ton of the books would long ago have re
vealed the cashiers over-drafts in the matter
of cashiers checks. Examinations were
made from time to time, and they were as
thorough probably as are made in the great
majority of banks, but full reliance was
placed upon the cashiers word, and
on the strength of it many things
were accepted as all right which in
Yestigation would have shown to be all
wrong. The lesson of the case is obvious.
No matter how strong the confidence direct
ors and examiners may repose in men who
are handling the funds of the bank, they
| should assure themselves from time to time
| Of the honest conduct Of its affairs by orig
| inal and minute investigation. Were such
investigations the rule in every bank, we
should have very few defaulting cashiers.
| OF course there can be no system devised
| which will make it impossible for bank
| cashier to steal, and there can be no substi-
| tute for personal honesty, but when men of
| dishonest propensities get into our banks, as
| they sometimes will, spite of all precau-
| tions. their efforts to restrain those pro-
pensities Is likely to be affected good deal
| by the degree Of danger of being found out
| to which they are exposed.

A CRAVE OFFENCE.

Wednesday was one of the pleasantest
days of the season in the greater part OF the
eastern half Of this country, and it is well
that it was SO. For in spite of the opinions
Of philosophers and the oft repeated assur-
ances Of the newspapers, there were many
thousands of people who believed, or at least
were made uneasy by the prophecy of Wig
gins. Much as Gloucester fishermen dislike
to remain in Canadian harbors, three schoon-
ers with full fares and hemeward bound,
were seen at Shelburne awaiting the result
of the disturbances predicted by Virgins be-
fore proceeding home. If all the facts were
known it would undoubtedly be found that
many more people of New England, and not
alone those whose experiences on the water
have made them slow to take even slight
risks of disaster, were uneasy on the 10Th.
But any alarm felt in New England was
slight compared with the panic described in
dispatches that are coming from the South.
From Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama and
Florida are reported scenes of excitement
not witnessed since that famous day whence
all negroes reckon, Emancipation Day tits
estimated that half million people in those
States did not sleep at all on the night pre-
ceding Wednesday. At o'clock in the
morning, the streets Of Atlanta, usually de-
serted at SO early an hour, we're alive with
people Few of the negroes would go about
their work and many went to the fields to
await the shock where there would be little
danger from falling buildings. In the
rural regions the terror was still greater
The shock was awaited with prayers fast
ing and frequent baptisms. A singular coin
denoe increased the panic around Augusta,
Ga. About three weeks prior to Wiggins's
prediction a number of colored prophets or
"hoodoos" went about predicting the total
destruction Of the earth on September 18th.
So the superstitieus elements Of the eommu-
nifty were already stirred up when the
Virgins prophecy appeared. Fortunately
Wednesday was very pleasant day in the
South, and none of the timid ones were
driven into insanity or to suicide, as was the
case after the severe earthquakes few days
ago. But number of cases Of serious ILL
ness brought on by fright are reported
among both blacks and whites.
Virgins may congratulate himself that he
has caused the greatest scare ever known in
the South, far surprising the scare Of a
few years ago among the Marblehead fisher
men. But it is time such prophecies are
stopped. 1t is grave offence to disturb the
peace Of so many thousands Of people.

Since the season of political conventions
began the st. Louis Globe-Democrat has been
collecting in the various Republican State
conventions the preferences of the delegates
for the next Republican candidate for the
Presidency. In the Massachusetts, conven-
ton Wednesday GAG, or about one-fourth OF
the delegates present, were induced to ex-
press their preferences. OF these 1853, or over
two-thirds, were for James G. Blaine. OF
the remaining IS delegates, "a were for Sher-
man, 10 for Edmunds, for Logan, for ex-
Governor Long, 5 for Senator Hoar, for
Senator Hawley, for Robert I. Lincoln
and one each for ex-Prssident Arthur, John
P. St. John, Governor Robinson Of Massa-
chusetts, Senator Evarts, Judge Charles
Deyens of Massachusetts and Frederick
Douglass: These were the first preferences.
For second choice, 80 preferred Sherman, 81
Logan, % Blaine, 70 Hawley, Hoar, Long,
Edmunds, 8 Allison, Thomas B. Reed, 2
Governor Robinson, 2 Ben Harrison. Senator
Evarts, Gen. Slocum of New York and Gen.
Sherman each were the choice of one dele
gate. The western correspondents concluded
from these returns and from their own OBJ
servation, that the friends of Mr.. Blaine in
Massachusetts are active and enthusiastic,
which can be said of the friends Of no other
candidate.

With tllS lang 1flS ' II 8iiiSii ~ lieeDit-
ually spoke, but will relate the substance
of what they told me.
The whole thing had originated in an
unfortunate mistake-I had indeed fallen
amongst thieves. A great robbery had
lately been planned in NeWminster, in
which these men and some others were
implicated. One of the gang, however,
was "a new hand, and had on the eve
ofthe robbery turned penitent and threat
ened to give up his companions to just
ice. According to their account, the
penitenee was but a mask for an act of
cowardly revenge on one of their num-
Der. High words and a fight ensued-
the man was oVerpowered and LETT half
dead in a field. This was before my two
friends had joinelthe gang at all, and
when they arrived they found the whole
| thing disorganized, the police alert and
suspicious, and nothing for it but to de
camp with all speed. First, however,
it was necessary that the would-be in
former, or his body, should be found and
secured but though the gang remained
near NeWminster as long as they dared,
not trace of him was to be seen.
The two newcomers were Just on
their rapid journey back to London,
looking like ordinary carriers, when they
found an inSensible man lying by the
roadside. Without stopping to think
they jumped to the conclusion that this
must be the very man they sought, and
lifting me into the cart, they pursued
their way to London. Before reaching
their journeys end they had discovered
their mistake, but by that time was in
raging fever, and there was nothing for
it but to bring me into their own quar-
tiers and nurse me back to life, which |
am bound to say they did with much
kindness.
As Won may imagine, this story, and
seca already seven
Weeks I'LL, excited me greatly; all my
fears about Aimee revived, | was fran
tic to get back to Newminster and find
her, dead or alive. But an unexpected
difficulty rose to prevent me. The men,
who had hitherto treated me with kind
ness now "cut up rough" as they say,
and positively refused to let me depart.
Questions would be asked, the truth
would come to the light, and they would
be taken, and tried for several robberies
IN which they had been engaged. In
vain promised on my solemn oath not
