Special to the Sunday Morning Netcs
NEWARK, May II, ls90.-A startling re
port was on the street today that presi-
dent of one of the Newark banks was a
defaulter in the sum of s225. 600 The ru-
NOR could not be traced by inquiring re-
porters to any responsible source.
All the banks of the city were visited
this afternoon and inquiries made. Only
two of the bank presidents are at present
out of town, namely, President Douglass
of the German National Bank and Presi-
dent Curtis of the Essex County Bank.
All the bank officials and business men
seen secuted the idea of defalcation.
1t was stated at the German National
Bank that President Douglass left the
bank at one D. m. to go 10 Central Park
with his wife. There was no possibility
of trouble in the bank Of any kind.
At the Essex County Bank 1t was stated
that the cashier had gone away on an en-
gagement made week ago. The idea of
a shortage was smiled at.
Gen. Plume, cashier of the Manufac-
turers' National Bank, said there was no
truth whatever in the rumor.
President Pennington, of the Newark
City National Bank, said:-"We are all
here, so it cannot be our bank. l have
not heard anything about shortage in q
bank. The president of each bank is,
presume, in his bank today"
