when he emerged from the Grand Jury room his
face was as " white as a shect"-tO use the eX-
preston of bystander. Tobey FASTENED to his
counsel and after consultation. he told an intimate
friend that the Grand Jury had called on him to
explain the relations of himself and w. r. Grace in
the Grant & Ward business. Tobey was taken
abacli Not fully comprehending the situation. he
refused point blank. so he SAID afterward to give
the information. lie was allowed few days for
seli-cOmmnnlon.
Meanwhile w. r. Grace was summoned as w.t.
ness. He went before the Grand Jury. THE TRIB-
CNu of December 8. 1888 published the following
regarding Mr.. Grace's testimony:
Mayor Grace then called aud was Defore the
Grand Jury for brief time. lie was asked II he
desired any statement concerning his business
relations with the firm OF Grant Ward. He replied
that there nothing Ia hs relations with the firm

When Tobey was arrested he said that at the time
he received the $4,000 check he had no relations
with the firm of w. II. Grace & Co. w. X. Grace
explained the fact that Tobey had ceased to be the
cashier of w. X. Grace & Co. as follows: =" Mr..
Tobey has been fortunate in business that he left
the firm Of w. r. Grace & Co. and went into busi-
ness for himself"
thorough and systematic examination OF the
books of Grant & Ward, which has only lately
been completed with reference to civil suits against
w. r. Grace and Z. II. Tobey, shows that w. X.
Grace cleared round $150.OOO on his Grant q
Ward transactions and that 1Obey cleared $4,000
In money and $50, 900 in bonds total, for him. OF
500 900, or total for Grace and TObey OF
$3.50 900.

gentleman who was interested in the Iobey-
Grace proceedings, unable 10 find Tobey In MS
usual haunts made inquiries at the pier
four days later and confirmed his susplcions that
Tobey had taken his departure toward Peru lhe
nervous man was Tobcy himself; he had not had
time, however in which to engage passage under
his own name.
lshed Mayor Grace said that Mr.. Tobey bad not
gone to Peru, but had gone to the Isthmus for his
health. Tobey's health was reallyin bad eondi'
ton. Before he went away he suffered from iii-
sornnia and some of his friends feared that his
reason would become unsettled. The cause assigned
by friend of his was as follows: "Tobey found
that w. Il. Grace had unoaded the whole Grant &
Ward business on him (fobey) and he concluded
that it best for him to get out of the country rs
soon as possible"
Tobey, before his departure went to Assistant
United States Dstrict-Attorney Foster and gave
$40 900 bail for his appearance IN the United States
Court. II was settled conviction or that time that
he could not be properly indicted for violating
United States statute in the Marine Bank matter.
A creditor of Grant x Ward said yesterday: The
only positions In which Iobey could be used as q
witness. therefore, would be in u criminal prosecu-
ton at the hands State DistrictAttorney or IN

GRANT & WARD.

This indebtedness matured as shown by the
bond, on May 1. 1854. an on that date Ward gave
Tobey his check for $4,000.
On December 8. 1885, f. II. Tobey was arrested
on an indictment found in the United States Court,
William Dorsheimer then being United States Dis
trict-Attorney, charging Tobey jointly with Fcrd-
inand Ward with having distracted. with intent to
defraud the Marine National Bank. $4,000 from
that institution by means of check drawn by
Ward to Tobcys order on May l. 1884.
This was the $1,000 check given to Tobey on the
basis of the contract of April 1, 1854. Following
is copy of the face Of the check the writing being
in Wards hand:
New-York tribune., 1886-08-24

In recovering the money of Grant g. Ward. A suit az
the hands of Receiver Davies Is pending against
W. r. Grace who has promised not to plead the
statute Of limitations for usury. Tobey is away,
and why Is pretty well known; 30 he cannot be
used as witness against W. r. Grace to disprove
any points Mr.. Grace may have made before the
United States Grand Jury. Ward Is convict. Mr..
Grace would be his own principal witness unless
Ward should be used as Fish was against Ward"
The two agreements gwen above and the private
check-book of Ward with tho $4,000 stub
and the initials "E. II. 7. for w. r. G." are
accessible to the creditors Of Grant & Ward.
The check for SO, 900 corresponding to the stub
OF May 1, 1884, indorsed over to w. r. Grace &
Co.. and other checks of about the same date. are
held securely In the grip of Walter s. Johnston the
receiver Of the Marine Bank, who lays claim to

to his appearance as tho receiver of the Marine
Bank, was receiver of the National Bank of Mis-
souri, and he there had in his employ E. P. Curtis.
the former cashier of the bank. Mr.. Johnston. when
the Marine Bank failed, was succeeded by Edgar
Weles, the son of Lincolns Secretary OF the Navy.
and therenpon he came TO this city. bringing Mr.
Curtis with him. Mr.. Johnston and Charles X.
Flint, then Of w. r. Grace & Co., were co-directors
in the Bank of the Republic Mr.. Johnston and
Mr. Grace became acquainted. E. p. Curtis
is now the cashier of w. R. Grace e.
Co., and Mr.. Johnston, who has the
reputation of being man of fine business ability
and above reproach. is now the custodian OF the
Tobey- Grace checks.
Charles r. Flint left the firm Of William r. Grace
& Co. at the end of last year, and his friends say
that he is not satisfied with Mr.. Grace as re-
former
Tobey's business career began in Portland. Me-
as paying-teIler of bank. He then went West
and in 1879 was employed at the Windsor Hotel in
this city. His next appearance was as cashier for
w. Il. Grace & Co.. where he became so prosperous
that. according to Mayor Grace, he cut loose from
w. r. Grace e. &c. and went into business for HIM
self,

Mr.. Grace 1t is urged by some, may have said
that Iobey turned the check over to W. K. Grace *

transactions
In that case, or in any other the question Is now
