NOT so GREAT 4 Loss AS WAS SUPPOSED.
THE DrrAncAr1oNs OF HENRY P. MARSHALL.

THE DEAD BANK CASHIER.
Considerable comment caused yesterday by me
published accounts of the discovery Of the
Of Henry p Marshall, who died at his post as casher
OF the seauen's Bank for Savings in November The
high esteem In which he was held during his Iic-
time made the uncoverng of his perdy all the more
sensational, and the stunning force with which the
sudden consciousness OF disgrace as well as nnanca
ruin fell upon his children created much sympathy
for them Into the general air OF gloom surrounding
the case one ray Of light shot from an interview with
j. H. Morrison, ir secretary OF the seamens Church
Missionary Society which published exclusively IN
The Tribune. With regard 10 the missing SECURITIES
belonging to his society, Mr.. Morrison SAID
sfr Marshall died suddenly. with no warning 70
enable him to sraghten his affairs that ne may rave
paid great deal of the money that cannot oe ao-
Counted for in the usual Of business and tna e
society got the benefit Of It. And here is one iact
that has not been published: The money lnat Was .
raised on the 5000 OF bonds as PSsposeS IN the
Importers and Traders National BANK, OF 40. a. -
broadway and S and the books Of the
society show this And here Is another iacS NJ ,ns MAJ

perfect confidence in Mr. Marshall tha, %G nnIcy u1n
an bis honesty When the fact that they were mssns

not doubt but that more money than VIC sfo ""~'' "
was spent for the society

v.sterdsv who did not want his name USED. Ann
a,tbough there is practically no doubt thai conso
