ST. LOUIS, July lG.--An attachment
suit brought by Mrs. Cornelia Sandbon
against the prors'ty of the Ascending
cashier of the ProVident Savings Bank,
brings the following facts to the surface: g:
Some time since Mr. Thomson applied
10 Mrs. Sandborn for a loan Of $4,000
which she then had on deposit at the
Proyident Savings Bank, and offered a.
security stock of the Proyident Bank.
She consulted with Mr.. C. W. Barstow,
her brother-in-lav, on the matter, and
a. he considered the security good, adj.
yiScd her make the loan. She did so,
and placed the collateral certificates Of
stock in her private box, which has been
kept in the vaults of the Providcnt Bank
for years When it became known that
something was wrong with the bank Mrs.
Sandborn was advised by relatives to sell
her stock. She called at the bank on
Monday and asked for the box, which was
given her. She opened it, removed the
certificates and left The stock was
placed with broker and soon il
was discovered the certificates were
forgeries. 1t is said on the street, on
the authority of Mr, Brookmire of Brook
mlrc & Ranken and c. W. Barstow that
Mr. Thomson had access to Mrs. Sand
born's box Of securities, and that good
securities were given her on the loan
being conSummated and By her placed in
that box. This leads to the PRESUMPTION
that the forged certificates were substi-
tuted later aud the good stock sold or
hypothecatcd. Neither Mr.. Brookmlre
nor Mr.. Barstow could be seen. This
story is told by a gentleman TO whom
Mrs. Sandborn's relatives disclosed il.
