MURDERED AND ROBBED
Husband, Wife and Son Were
All Slain.
BRUTALLY cLUBBED TO DEATH.

The Awful Fate Of Mr. and Mrs. John
Crouch and Andrew Crouch at BENT
ieyvilIe, Pa-slaughlered by Burglars.
At Least $4,000 in Cash Taken.
WASHINGTON, Pa, May l5.-John Crouch.
his wife and son, William, were found
murdered in their country home, near Bent
leyville Washington county, Wednesday.
Crouch was man of 20. With his wifs
and bachelor son he lived secluded life on
one Of the largest and finest farms in the
state. The Crouches had the reputation of
being miserly and wealthy and of keeping
large sums of money in the house, which IL
isolated, the nearest neighbor being half
mile distant and a murder could occur
there in sunlight without attracting atten-
tion.
Ciubbed TO Death.
A farmers boy, sent on an errand to this
Crouch house, discovered the crime. The
murder was evidently committed early I'm
the evening by a party of men who means
robbery. The three murdered persons had
been dubbed to death, and bloody
bludgeon was found lying near the bodies
of mother and son In the parlor
An undischarged pistol that the latter
had evidently attempted to use was found
lying near him. Old man Crouch was
found in the hall The men had fought
desperately as the broken furniture and
blood stained walls showed. A secretary
was broken open and 5000 had been taken
from 1t. No arrests have yet been made.
Searching for the Bfurderers.
The news of the discovery spread like
lightning, and within remarkably short
space OF time the widest excitement pre-
vailed In the neghborhood Searching par
ties were organized and the adjacent dis
trict was secured in an effort 10 discover
the perpetrators, but mp 10 this hour no
clew 10 them nor any knowledge Of theiE
whereabouts has been obtained

The omcers Of the Albany city Bank
blake "A Statement.


ALBANY, May Sharp work at the
books Of the Albany City bank makes GER
tain the fact that the Goulds' overlraft
amounts to at least 10000, instead Of
$50 900 as claimed. The death of Amasa J.
Parker, who was legal adviser of the bank,
was Undoubtedly hastened by the robbery
Gould and Whitney are still hunting for
friends to go ON their bonds The ex.
animation OF the books wilt not be con
cluded until the end Of the week at least
The officials Of the Albany City National
bank have made public the following state.
ment, which is eorroborated by Bank Ex
aminer Groesbeck: THE examination into
the recent defaloation in the Albany City
National bank has progressed 50 far that
we can state that only seven persons and
firms, including George r. Whitney, have
made 80 called oyerdrafts.
"That all of them, except Mr. Whitney,
the Goulds and Mrs. Engel, have made res
titution; that no agreement has been made
TO shield any one, and the names Of all are
in the possession of the United States Off
GERS; that not a single officer ef the bank
has overdrawn his account, ands that so far
as we know and believe, no officer or EN-
ploye of the bank is either directly or in
directly implicated with Mr.. Whitney in
his defaleations
1.-The rumors that any manufacturing firm
or men of high social or political position,
except as the names of persons set forth
may be so regarded, are implicated in the
matter are the merest gossip and utterly
without foundation. We repeat what has
already been stated by the president and
cashier, that the bank is entirely solvent
and ready to meet all demands made upon
It, ERAsTUs CORNING, Presidsnt.
GEORGE w. THAcHER, Vice President.
"JoNAs II. BROOKS, Cashier
Much speculation has been indulged IN
as to the reason for the bank not making a
charge against the Goulds 1t now seems
that the members of the firm of William
| Gould, Jr., & Co, have the power any
moment TO render the Judgment they con
/ fessed to the City bank utterly valueless tc
that institution. The bank examiner last
night explained how Whitney did his steal
ing. A deposit made by one of the deposit
ors on a given day would be credited to tn,
/ Goulds II their account needed it in order
to meet the drafts upon il. Every account
thus manipulated had on it a mark known
only to Whitney, SO that he carried upol
the books false balance but upon hi
| private memoranda a statement showing
just how the accounts should stand.
